Yoo Ah-in goes geek chic
I know — more Yoo Ah-in? But when is that ever a bad thing? Here he is, sporting some dandified looks for menswear line ZIOZIA, making him look surprisingly mature.

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 3
Ooh, I love how things are shaping up. I really appreciate that this drama can be emotionally stirring, but without the grand melodrama that usually accompanies this genre. It’s full of emotion, without wallowing in it or offering it up as some sort of glorious misery. At least not where it counts (mothers and aunts... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 4
I’m pretty sure I know what happens in this episode. I’ll get to it as soon as I stop staring at the pretty… I’m probably gonna need a minute… In this episode, Tae-yeon faces his biggest opponent yet: not a hooded figure in a dark alley, but a well-dressed woman in a courtroom.

Well, they don’t call her goddess for nothing. Lee Min-jung (Midas, Cyrano Dating Agency) recently shot a spread for Singles magazine, where she looks gorgeous, as usual.
