It’s going to star young actors Moon Sang Min and Shin Si Ah, and the script is from the screenwriter Lee Na … Continue reading →

I’m not sure how this pairing would work onscreen but it’s definitely not an idol casting. iQiyi has a new drama that just confirmed the leads and will start filming next week at the end of April.

April is nearing the close and no C-drama is worth talking about that arrived this month other than the totally under the radar small budget modern romance and workplace C-drama The Epoch of Miyu (Mi Yu Ji 蜜语纪).

Two unexpected names are being floated together for a new K-drama and I’m oddly okay with this pairing. Jung So Min and Kim Yo Han are in talks for sageuk K-drama Sunrise Moon.

I’m a little bemused and perplexed that the whole “Foundation General Gate” with Zhang Ling He in Pursuit of Jade got as big as it did and has had additional real life impact that it spawned.

No. Just no. I need these two to individually and together take a time out. You know when a teacher tells an overeager student to sit in the corner and just read quietly, it’s feeling like that talk needs to go out to Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui. This week the C-ent casting rumor is saying, and with … Continue reading →
So the Cha Eun Woo alleged tax evasion scandal has come to a close earlier this month in April with his agency confirming payment of any owed taxes and it looks like he won’t be cancelled for it.

With March 2026 over and the only drama to do well being Pursuit of Jade, with Love Beyond the Grave, Veil of Shadows, and Rebirth in varying stages of meh to flop, April is now midway done and there feels like a lull just waiting for a grippy drama to capture the latent attention.
