Yoo Seung-ho is only fifteen, but already he’s played a king twice: first, as Bae Yong-joon‘s younger counterpart in Legend, and now in the upcoming Queen Seon-deok. Yoo Seung-ho aside, I just think this is a beautiful photo — the contrast, the colors, the clarity. Also, this drama sure has a gorgeous look to its... More »

As announced, Mnet has (finally!) released the last two parts of the four-part F4 “After Story” music drama, featuring Ji-hoo’s (Kim Hyun-joong) and Jun-pyo’s (Lee Min-ho) segments. Although the songs were pretty nice to listen to, the first two parts with Kim Bum and Kim Joon were rather disappointing, imo. Like those parts, the last... More »

Yoon Sang-hyun discusses his sudden popularity in Marie Claire
by | May 18, 2009 | 61 Comments
I’ve always thought Yoon Sang-hyun was a pretty charismatic guy — he was pretty decent back in Fireworks (his character was an ass and the drama sucked, but he and Kang Ji-hwan were enjoyable) and he was cute in Three Dads, One Mom — so it’s nice to see him enjoying his sharp rise in... More »
