It’s so hard to move from drama land to movie land in C-ent, even the top drama stars slowly work their way in expect bumps and bruises along the way. So it’s no surprise that last week during lunar new year there was the usual big release stacked movies to compete with all those vacation dollars at the box office, … Continue reading →
I like all that auspicious gold in promos for just started filming C-drama The Noble, but it’s also so literal with the poster designer taking the Chinese title of 金枝 Jin Zhi which means golden branch or golden bough and just illustrating it lol. The Tencent produced C-drama started filming this past week, in that spate of new drama productions … Continue reading →
I think this drama just started filming a few weeks ago but with Valentine’s Day last week everyone and their mother’s released a couple’s poster so we get an early first look at Tencent period romance The Road to Glory.

I feel like this role and project for Kim Ji Won feels cathartic maybe, like she’s purposely going as far away from her last role in Queen of Tears as possible. In the upcoming SBS medical K-drama Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia, the drama is adapted from a J-dorama and deals with an unconventional IDGAF type female lead … Continue reading →

I don’t know what Chinese zodiac sign C-actress Zhao Lu Si is but her last year in 2025 is what I call a year of calamity and then transformation, truly a lot going on.

I also think she’s not right at all for Shen Miao in that story but her next drama slated to … Continue reading →
The likely shelving of tvN drama Signal 2 (The Second Signal) is sad news for the cast and crew for sure, but for male lead Lee Je Hoon he’s off to the next project.
