I love star baby photos. And now we get a look at the recently released ones for Lee Ki-woo, currently acting as requisite third wheel in romance drama A Star’s Lover. These photos, uploaded onto the official Star’s Lover homepage message board, show the now-super-tall (190 cm!) actor at the age of three. I think... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 9

I was mightily annoyed that one of the big moments in this episode was spoiled by, oh, practically every site out there. You couldn’t go anywhere on the k-internets without running into huge headlines — with pictures! — of said moment. I know the news was probably released to drum up interest in the episode... More »

Jang Geun-seok’s “Toucholic”
by | February 2, 2009 | 32 Comments
What is “Toucholic”? Is it some kind of disease? Or maybe a key characteristic of a middle-aged pervert stalker? No, of course! It’s a song. To be sung by Jang Geun-seok (Beethoven Virus). Jang is starring in the “music drama” (huh?) called “Yepptic & Haptic Love” (double huh??), which was released online on the Yepp... More »

Seo Hyo-rim is F.T. Island’s “Bad Woman”
by | February 2, 2009 | 21 Comments
Honestly, I just really like that picture.

The actress takes the title character of the MV’s “Bad Woman,” which is a... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 3
by | February 1, 2009 | 31 Comments
Return of Iljimae continues to be both lovely on the eyes and the ears — it’s almost like watching a carefully balanced film more than a drama series. I’m actually getting used to the narration, which continues to (as a downside) be told in that oddly pretentious voice but (upside) does keep the flow of... More »

Park Shi-hoo, currently acting in the SBS weekend drama Family Honor, was injured on the job on February 1 (perhaps “assaulted” might be the more accurate term?). The crew had been prepping for an outdoor shoot outside a university hospital in Seoul at around 1 am. Park had been standing by to film when a... More »
