The number of high profile K-dramas getting produced continues to decrease and it remains so hard to make a well produced show that it’s always a hit-or-miss risk. Next year will see the release of already completed filming fantasy romance K-drama Human X Gumiho airing on cable giant jTBC. Starring Jeon Ji Hyun as the titular gumiho who in this … Continue reading →
So you can either take away that long running rumors that C-actress Jing Tian is majorly connected with a powerful backer since her debut are true and once again a scandal with her is being downplayed, or that the general public just hates when a scorned person in love tries to take down an ex. Either reason, or a mixture … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I wonder what happened behind the scenes to lead to this. K-actor Lee Jong Seok and his agency have announced that he’s no longer starring in upcoming K-drama Yi Seob’s Romance, adapted from the same name webtoon and in the shared universe as Casual Lie which is being made into a K-drama starring Lee Joon Hyuk. The reason given … Continue reading →
I’m so amused by the title for this C-drama and honestly love that it doesn’t include the words blossom, spring, power, or love. Yay for creativity lol! The wuxia detective period C-drama Leopard in Seclusion (豹隐南山 Bao Yin Nan Shan or Leopard in Seclusion in South Mountain) is slated to kick off filming in a few weeks, at the end … Continue reading →
I take the “voluntarily” part of departing this upcoming drama with a grain of salt, but at least it’s now confirmed how the upcoming season 2 and 3 of hit drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call will proceed. Namely without female lead Ha Young, who will not be returning anymore to for the sequel seasons after her great-grandfather being … Continue reading →
Year ago this drama’s ups and downs wouldn’t even generate much gossip but in the year where there are so few current dramas filming this is definitely gotten attention. Xianxia C-drama Love in the Shell (长生骨 Chang Sheng Gu or Long Life Bone) starring Yu Shu Xin and Hou Ming Hao is back to filming, which normally isn’t a weird … Continue reading →
I don’t think the the casting and production issues around period romance C-drama Revenge (刺棠 Ci Tang) with Zhang Ling He and Lu Yu Xiao are all that unusual or even more than the usual shenanigans that befall a lot of other C-dramas before it. But due to the noticeable decrease of new C-dramas heading into production this year, there … Continue reading →
Those lamenting that K-dramas don’t make ’em like they used to anymore has a lot of truth to it, even if the current fare still has gems and hits it’s just not as many nor as consistently satisfying. That’s why the recent 10th reunion specials of past K-dramas feels so good such as Answer Me 1988 and Goblin casts all … Continue reading →
If folks are bored with the offerings in C-dramas or K-dramas, this real life story is juicier and crazier than any fictional chaebol romance lol. It’s also the biggest C-ent hot tea since probably Zheng Shuang‘s surrogacy plus tax scandal years ago. This week Chinese-born crypto bro billionaire Justin Sun went on X (Twitter) with a 6000-word post that claimed … Continue reading →
Well the news of this K-ent star couple nuptials feels like neither have the star power to make fans care too much beyond being annoyed at some fund raising activity around a movie. K-actor Jang Dong Yoon, most recently in Queen Mantis and My Man is Cupid but probably most famous for The Tale of Nokdu, announced this week he … Continue reading →
I never really thought it was possible to adapt webtoon The Remarried Empress identically into a K-drama what with the fictional European royalty setting yet here we are, with the first look trailer for the Disney+ and Hulu streaming series dropping viewers directly into that backdrop. And you know what, I’m game for it and really open to this being … Continue reading →
Let’s resurrect a good old slice of K-drama fantastic onscreen chemistry and hope the second go-around is both as good and the two get a better story to go alongside it. Kim So Hyun and Song Kang are confirmed for the MBC romance K-drama White Scandal, after earlier being discussed for the roles that would reunite the two now nearly … Continue reading →
Another day another disappointing outing for a C-drama. Hunan TV and Mango produced period politics and romance C-drama Royal Betrothal wrapped its run recently and got really slammed on Douban with an opening rating of 4.9. Dipping below 5 is a real zinger and sign that this isn’t just a bad drama it’s got people who watched it mad enough … Continue reading →
