Lee Min-jung goes all natural for High Cut
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 »

Dream High: Episode 6
This show KILLS ME. Why so awesome? For starters, it looks like 2011′s gonna be another year of bromance. Yee-haw. I’d encourage everyone to get on the bandwagon, but I’m fairly certain you need no prodding. Just hazarding a guess. Dear javabeans: Get your moneypurse ready to be emptied. The showdown is ON, and I’m... More »

Kim Bum and Park Min-young for Vogue Girl
Kim Bum (The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry), Park Min-young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), and Sung Yuri (Noona, Swallow the Sun) pose for a spread in Vogue Girl entitled “Wedding Party.” Hm. Dunno what kind of macabre Addams’ Family sort of wedding they were invited to, but I half expect that the food on the table... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 20 (Final)
It’s the bow-tied, triple-knotted kind of ending for this cast of characters, as we say our final goodbyes to Secret Garden. I’d personally like to say farewell to omo-queen Secretary Kim. Thanks for the laughs. And of course to my new favorite idol-oppa, Oska. Yoon Sang-hyun, I was never on your bus before, but I’m... More »

My Princess: Episode 4
Is it possible for two guys to fight over two girls at the same time? Truthfully, then it really becomes more about THEM, and not at all about the girls, right? There’s fanfic just itching to be written out there somewhere. I’m having so much fun in this Rhombus of Jealousy and the early stages... More »

Dream High: Episode 4
Hello, new crack! I’m totally loving this drama right now, and I don’t even know if it’s at all logical, because it’s very by-the-book, in terms of what we expect will happen in an underdog-success story. But…it’s just so earnest, and cute, and strangely suspenseful. I honestly wasn’t expecting this drama to get this good... More »

Queen of Reversals surpasses Athena, another extension?
The battle of the Monday-Tuesday dramas is heating up, as MBC’s Queen of Reversals noses ahead in the ratings. Monday’s broadcast pulled in 15.7% (AGB Nielson), beating SBS’s Athena: Goddess of War for the first time. Athena began its run with explosive 22.8% ratings, but has steadily declined over the last five weeks, landing at... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 18
I’m glad this show comes with its own shrink. It should be a new requirement in all k-dramas. I mean, if you’re going to start making such sharp turns, it’s only fair that you provide your own medical care for those of us who suffer from the whiplash. I’d like to dedicate this recap to... More »

Kim Seung-woo to headline new drama
Woot! I freaking LOVE Kim Seung-woo. Seeing him for three seconds a week on Athena just isn’t cutting it for me. Ye drama gods must be kind, because they sensed our need and put him front and center in a new drama headed our way. The drama is called [강력반] so I’m going with Serious... More »

Jeon Do-yeon returns with Countdown
Cannes queen Jeon Do-yeon (The Housemaid, Lovers in Prague) is set to return to the big screen this year with an action film called Countdown. She’ll be playing a con-artist, whose description I already love: “everything about her, except the fact that she breathes, is a lie.” Nice. She’ll be playing opposite Jung Jae-young (Moss,... More »
