Korean drama “Bad Love” (also known as “Cruel Love”), starring Kwon Sang-woo and Lee Yo-won, has ended showing in Korea on Feb 12 with disappointing ratings.
Despite starring the big names, Bad Love’s final episode only managed a 6.8% rating. On contrary, other dramas that showed on the same time has achieved much better ratings (MBC’s “Yi San” has 34.7% ratings).
Big names don’t always work.
Roy Scheider, best known for playing Chief Brody in “Jaws” movies, passed away on Feb 10 at the age of 75.
Rest in peace.
Hero (JaeJoong) from Korean boyband TVXQ is voted as the prettiest Asian men in a poll organised by China’s Xingkong TV channel.
Around 40 million votes have been casted, and Hero topped the poll with 10% of the votes (4.17 million).
Came in 2nd is Taiwanese heartthrob Jerry Yan; while 3rd place belongs to another TVXQ member U-know (YunHo).
4th-10th are Kazuya Kamenashi (Japan), Jimmy Lin, Vic Zhou (Taiwan), Tomohisa Yamashita (Japan), Han Geng (China), Joe Cheng (Taiwan) and Wu Zun (Brunei).
The funny thing is that only one China artist was on top 10… but Han Geng probably got in for being a member of Korean boyband Super Junior, so he is ‘half Korean’ actually.
