Here are some new photos of upcoming weekend drama All That Glitters, starring Kim Hyun-joo as a careerwoman and workaholic. Despite her wealthy family background — the family owns a publishing company — she’s determined to make it on her own. (Although, is it really making it on your own if your work is in... More »

The baseball film Glove released this week and enjoyed the top spot at the box office, setting itself up for a strong theatrical run.

…and not just from his drama-loving noonas. (Although that’s a gimme, isn’t it? The boy is adorable. And talented. Also hot.) Kim Soo-hyun is currently off being awesome in his drama series Dream High, the totally-not-that-bad-at-all-and-in-fact-kind-if-starting-to-rock high school series on KBS that stars him as a musically gifted student at an idol-cultivating battlefield factory school....

MBC’s upcoming drama Royal Family has cast its lead actors, pairing Yeom Jung-ah (Jeon Woo Chi) with Ji Sung (Kim Suro, Swallow the Sun).

Allure had the foresight to photograph a slew of actresses while they were getting ready for the end-of-year awards ceremonies, and they’ll be featured in an upcoming spread entitled “One Hour Before the Red Carpet.” I love moments like the one captured above, of Song Ji-hyo (Goong, Serious Crime Squad), which shows her goofy side,...

My Princess: Episode 6
by | January 20, 2011 | 277 Comments
Kim Tae-hee is kinda rockin’ it, which I really didn’t expect myself to say…ever. Her character’s kind of an airhead, but in an endearing and sweet way. She’s rather naïve, but the fact that she wants to trust Hae-young despite the fact that she knows better, is really cute. The comedy continues to be light... More »

Lee Min-jung goes all natural for High Cut
by | January 20, 2011 | 68 Comments
Actress Lee Min-jung (Cyrano Dating Agency, Smile) poses for a feature in High Cut that shows off her natural beauty. I love the idea of stripping down all the makeup of a normal photo shoot, and maybe I’m just partial to this look, but I love the effect: young, intriguing ingenue. The makeup-that-looks-like-no-makeup is actually... More »

The lulz, they keep coming. Between My Princess and Dream High, my weeks are looking bright and fluffy. The two dramas appeal to me in very different ways, but both also make me laugh out loud and aww for the characters, and that’s enough to make me happy. SONG OF THE DAY Ibadi – “산책”... More »
