Lee Da-hae takes on a male disguise for Chuno
Lee Da-hae dresses in drag in these latest stills for the upcoming fusion action sageuk Chuno (Pursuing Slaves), although I think the men’s clothes hardly obscure her gender at all. (Of all the recent ladies we’ve seen dressing as men — Lee Yo-won, Moon Geun-young, heck, even Park Shin-hye — I think Lee Da-hae is... More »

Done! Finally! I’m pretty conflicted about Triple‘s end — part of that has to do with the plot, but it’s more to do with the drama as a whole. More on that below. SONG OF THE DAY Triple OST – “짙은 바람” by Sub [ Download ] [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tags:... More »
