I will admit that I’m a facial hair girl. Give me a goatee and that turns me on. Cho Jung-Seok added facial hair to his character as the King in Captivating The King and became a total hottie. The way he played his character took him to another level. I first noticed him in Hospital Playlist as a doctor, but it was something about the character in Captivating The King that had me looking at
Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them twenty years of loss and heartbreak to find each other again. Now it’s 1779, and Claire and Jamie are finally reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children, and are rebuilding their home on Fraser’s Ridge—a fortress that may shelter them against the winds of war as well as weather.

My favorite scene is when he takes off his glasses to kiss the second lead actress. That was one hot kiss scene.

It was supposed to be the highlight of her career, the pinnacle for which she’d worked all her life. And as Hattie McDaniel took the stage in 1940 to claim an honor that would make her the first African-American woman to win an Academy Award, she tearfully took her place in history. Between personal triumphs and tragedies, heartbreaking losses, and severe setbacks, this historic night of winning best supporting actress for her role as the
My intro to Lee Min-Ho was The King: Eternal Monarch. It’s a fantasy romance in parallel world. He plays the king who fall for a cop from another dimension. My favorite scenes are when he’s riding this white horse. He looks so regal on it; you just want to hop on behind him and hold on tight.
