The 2019 Baeksang Arts Award was actually good for once, the winners moreso than the fashion which remains an uninspiring and safe sea of black and white gowns. Veteran queen Kim Hye Ja deservingly took home the Daesang (Grand Prize) for the television drama section for her performance as the older female lead in The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). … Continue reading →

Yoon Kye Sang has been offered the male lead for writer Lee Kyung Hee‘s next drama titled Chocolate.

The Gucci event in Seoul this week brought out the gamut of fashion dressing that happens even within one couture brand. Gucci has always been fashionably loud and not in a good way though I appreciate the consistent vision of the brand. I’m not sure if the brand is changing it’s name from Gucci to Guccy as per new logo … Continue reading →
Since I don’t follow K-pop the interest in the pan-Asian Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) is solely on the attendee star power of many K-stars. The Hong Kong show last night was a total win for me on the actors and actresses who attended and their fashion choices. EVERYONE LOOKED GREAT! Yes, there was the usual black, white/neutral, and red … Continue reading →
If there is just one fashion slayer on the red carpet for a Korean entertainment event then I’m a happy camper, even better if it happens to be one of my beloveds. The opening night of the 2017 Busan International Film Festival, the Korean equivalent of Cannes, went off without a hitch and with plenty of star power. It was … Continue reading →
Leave it to seasoned A-list Korean stars to make such an impact with such limited screen time as the Korean adaptation of The Good Wife reveals the first one-two punch with an official poster and teaser.

I’ve never watched the critically acclaimed US television show The Good Wife so its K-drama remake doesn’t have an existing hook for me. With that said, this drama is A-list Korean movie actress Jeon Do Yeon‘s first drama in 11 years ever since Lovers in Prague (and a cameo as herself in the 2008 On Air), and this is an … Continue reading →

Last is based on a dark webtoon of the same name, dealing with the story of a successful businessman who expects a big payday but ends up losing everything. He then falls into the ranks of the throngs … Continue reading →
I was a little disappointed that KBS decided to take a week off between Prime Minister and I ending and the premiere of Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds) since I was ready to roll right into another drama routine. Of course that’s assuming Full Sun is actually good or that I’ll like it, but I’m saying a itty bitty little … Continue reading →
I’m a little disappointed Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds) won’t air next Monday on KBS. Having that time slot just vacated by Prime Minister and I remain dark for a week without a new K-drama feels as blah as the way my beloved PM signed off without any sizzle. On the upside, no drama production has ever complained about getting … Continue reading →
While folks watching KBS on Mon-Tues may be hand wringing over next week’s ending to Prime Minister and I, I’m taking a break from over-analyzing that drama with a breather to check out the just released second teaser for its follow up drama Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds). Still not feeling the English title one whit. With this drama heading … Continue reading →
