The leads are confirmed to be Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, with scene-stealing supporting actress Kim Shin Rok joining them. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I expect a lot … Continue reading →
It was preview week for Disney+ on their upcoming 2026 slate of K-dramas so the first look teaser is also out for supernatural themed K-drama Delusion. It’s adapted from the same name dark webtoon and stars Suzy and Kim Sun Ho in a change of their usual bright and sunshiny image, and of course a reunion from Start-up. Her character … Continue reading →
Well the tides have indeed turned between C-actress Zhao Lu Si and her former agency Galaxy Kuyu Entertainment. Over the summer she went public alleging mistreatment and poor management by the agency and demanded to have her recently renewed contract terminated, ostensibly without needing to pay the usual hefty early termination fees. The agency refused and in the stalemate she … Continue reading →
So it’s 2026 K-drama preview time and in addition to the first look at Remarried Empress there are also the first ever drama stills out from MBC modern romance Perfect Crown (Korean title 21st Century Prince’s Wife).

Hoo boy do these four K-stars look phenomenal in character for the upcoming K-drama version of webtoon Remarried Empress. Even if it’s a hot mess adaptation (and honesty the webtoon was also a hot mess to begin with) at least the visuals will be glorious and spot on. Shin Mina does regal and classy Navier beautifully and Joo Ji Hoon … Continue reading →
Oh this is the sigh of relief type of good news I was hoping for. Last month C-ent casting was discussing Li Yun Rui and his next C-drama the period work Gui Liang Chen (归良辰) adapted from a novel and the female lead being discussed was teen actress Ai Mi. But like all C-ent castings the rumors can go multiple … Continue reading →
So this has happened before with drama filming productions whether K-dramas or C-dramas but it’s always hard all around since the whole dish is like half baked by that point and there is already a sunk cost. The period C-drama Jiang Shan Wei Ping (江山为聘) with Wu Jin Yan and Chen Zhe Yuan is nearly done filming and this week … Continue reading →
This is as good as it gets for Gong Jun, his most recent period C-drama Blood River has opened with Douban ratings of 7.2. In comparison his last two dramas The Legend of Anle has 5.5 ratings and Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Blood Moon Pact has an even worse 5.0. The competition other male led centric period C-dramas that aired in … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the same voice recording could end up affecting C-actress Tang Yan negatively in two different ways. The leaked voice recording from the C-drama Blossoms Shanghai production crew meeting has had multiple ramifications. For Tang Yan, the first was hearing director Wong Kar Wei criticize her for being fake, publicly cultivating a reputation of hard working and polite … Continue reading →
I have so many feels on the upcoming C-drama adaptation of the popular revenge and romance period novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage. Now it’s becoming more and more certain that the leads will indeed be Dylan Wang and Meng Zi Yi and the two fandoms are already in furor in hating the casting of the … Continue reading →
It’ll still be a bit before C-actress Zhao Lu Su‘s career returns to full normalcy. She’s out of her contract with former agency Galaxy Kuyu and now signed with Orca Entertainment under Alibaba and just last weekend held a birthday concert and fan meeting.

It’s nice of Joynews to confirm that K-ent industry insiders also view the same turkeys in K-drama land sucking as bad as regular viewers thought of them. If you wasted any time on watching these then my condolences, for others please use this to avoid hurting your brain. Topping the poll of 110 industry insiders on worst K-drama of 2025 … Continue reading →
The full return of C-actress Zhao Lu Si from her hiatus after trying to end her agency contract is getting closer. She celebrated her birthday this weekend with a concert for fans and with it announced the restart of her personal agency office which is very common with stars.
