So Ji-sub unwinds for High Cut
It’s that time of the month again (no, not that one): when celebrities fancy themselves up, get in front of a camera, and roll around on rumpled beds in the name of art. Er, fashion. Er, magazine sales. Yeah, that one. This time it’s So Ji-sub for High Cut, which makes sense since he’s out... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 2
I didn’t love the first episode, but I did love the second. The first rattled me, because it began so unconventionally, in medias res (and not the kind where you get the quick 48 hours earlier orientation either). But this episode takes a step back, not in time, but in breathing room. I feel like... More »

TOP and Yoon Eun-hye heat up the pages of W
I just have one main problem with this W magazine photo spread featuring Yoon Eun-hye and TOP: I think there’s a little bit of discrimination going on here. Where be his nekkidness? You’ve got her sans shirt and crawling all over him, and there he is, all buttoned up and decent. This is a problem.... More »

Lee Na-young’s 20th-century looks in Allure
Lee Na-young (Runaway Plan B) is featured in a shoot for Allure magazine’s November issue, which has released a few teaser stills from her “100 Years of Beauty” spread. That means each image adopts a look representing a particular decade from 1910 through 2000. Like 1950s “French chic,” which is probably the second image, and... More »

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop posters
Now those are five words that seem randomly thrown together. Flower. Boy. Ramyun. Shop. Posters. What next, a drama about Pink Ice Horse Train Monsters? Silliness aside, this drama looks adorable. Bubblegum-poppy, cotton-candy, pink-hearts-and-ponies cute. I know I know, don’t judge a book a cover lest ye be judged, or something like that, but I... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 1
Thousand Day Promise premiered today, and has all the makings of a taut, angsty melodrama. To be perfectly honest, by the halfway point I wasn’t sure I was enjoying the episode, but I was captivated by the conflict, the emotion, and the acting. One of the things that make the writing great about this episode... More »

Hong Sisters back in 2012 with their eighth drama
Woot! No better news for the drama year to come. The Hong Sisters writing duo has announced that they’ll be back in 2012 with a new drama for KBS. Nothing else has been decided; just that they’re going to do a drama. But that’s pretty much enough to get the anticipation dial set to 10.... More »

48th Grand Bell Awards
October 17 was the night of the 48th Grand Bell Awards (or, per its Korean name, Daejong Awards), and it was a big event for a few films in particular. And while the Joseon-era David-versus-Goliath action sageuk Bow: The Ultimate Weapon didn’t sweep the categories, it did take home a nice chunk of them. But... More »
