I love that K-dramas went here twenty years ago in Coffee Prince already, and now we get a CP worthy follow up where the cross-dressing female lead can pass for a very good looking flower boy metrosexual young man. tvN has on deck next month the K-drama Love in Disguise where Im Shi Wan plays a chaebol heir under suspicion … Continue reading →
The news cycle getting one upped is nothing new and I thought the crypto billionaire Justin Sun expose on attempting to have surrogacy baby with actress Jing Tian was sure to be the craziest C-ent news of this year. Well it’s time for hold my beer because the last 24 hours have been all about Dylan Wang (Wang He Di), … Continue reading →
Last month August Tencent air dropped The Road to Splendor, a A-budget period romance and politics C-drama starring Ding Yu Xi and Deng En Xi. Overall it slid under the radar, getting more strong reviews than bringing in viewership based on how well made it was. This one felt like the quality was there, the acting was validated, and the … Continue reading →
All the C-drama buzz and chatter the last three weeks have been solely on Youku romance drama The Early Spring and boy was this a controversial watch with the differing viewer opinions/arguments on the leads romance almost as entertaining as the drama itself. It’s also rather apropos that the first modern hit C-drama after The First Frost last year is … Continue reading →
We’re now in Q4 of 2026 so it’s full look ahead to 2027 releases when it comes to any new K-drama being announced. Another on deck is a series titled It’s 1992 and set in of course 1992 which honestly doesn’t feel like period or long time ago to me but is actually 34 years ago and I’m like WTF! … Continue reading →
After so much behind-the-scenes drama around the casting and production prep for period politics and romance C-drama Revenge it’s a relief to see the drama actually start filming. Starring Zhang Ling He and Lu Yu Xiao, the two play young sweethearts torn apart when his crown prince character is assassinated and she marries his younger brother the new crown prince … Continue reading →
The decreased C-drama production this year means that the pickiest of stars will be back on the small screen even more infrequently, and one of them is actor Wu Lei. At least he’s left me two dramas I can rewatch in Love Like the Galaxy and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love so that it’s not entirely fallow ground. It’s also … Continue reading →
What’s with so much cuteness coming out of K-drama land this week with upcoming dramas. First Take Charge of My Heart and now Between Steps (Korean title Love Doctor). Fall season usually sees more serious or melancholy moods when it comes to romance dramas and yet we’re getting light hearted fun couplings. In Between stars Kim So Hyun and Choo … Continue reading →
So this looks way cuter than I expected from the early synopsis and spicy looking webtoon cover image. Netflix rom-com Take Charge of My Heart is heading our way in month with an early October 2026 release date and the first poster and preview just dropped this week. Starring Chae Soo Bin as a woman hit by lightning as a … Continue reading →
Of course one is sworn to chastity and the other owns an adult sex toys company, it’s like K-dramas cannot make a story set up without the most obvious and opposite extremes for the two leads to overcome. A rom-com K-drama is set to premiere next month in October 2026 called Make Me Tremble (Make Me Tingle) and stars Nam … Continue reading →
Well this brings back nice feels, even if their first go-around didn’t interest me it was a solid cult hit so clearly these two had chemistry onscreen. K-ent is reporting that Cha Eun Woo and Moon Ga Young have been cast in the Bon Appetit, Your Majesty spin-off drama tentatively titled Seorabeol Knife (or Shilla Knife). It’s a gender reversed version … Continue reading →
The comeback of Song Zu Er continues unabated and with the slowdown in the number of C-dramas being greenlit for production it’s even incredible that she continues to roll from one drama set into the next. She’s just started filming modern thriller C-drama Cold Silent Night (Han Ye Wu Sheng 寒夜无声) adapted from the same name novel. Her male lead … Continue reading →
I think this project of all the recent year rumors with C-actress Zhao Lu Si‘s return to acting is genuinely likely to go forward. The actress is reportedly going to star in 10-episode modern C-drama Farewell Letters, adapted from the novel Thirteen Suicide Letters by German writer Kostin Gill. She is self-producing the drama hence the industry take this one … Continue reading →
