The start of 2026 in K-drama land hasn’t been smooth. Netflix had a good showing with Can This Love be Translated but shortly thereafter male lead Kim Sun Ho got into a tax evasion scandal. Only Ji Sung and The Judge Returns is doing well in K-drama land but not enough to generate stronger buzz. So SBS really needs to … Continue reading →

She’s such … Continue reading →
The C-drama reunion push is strong in recent times, so many former costars have either reunited right after doing a drama or are rumored to be with scripts sent their way. Another recent pairing is Yu Shu Xin and He Yu from last week’s fauxcest romance modern C-drama Speed and Love. The two are in talks for xianxia C-drama The … Continue reading →
There is no argument that the entertainment industry is shady as hell, across any and all countries and productions, so this latest kerfluffle in C-ent isn’t unique to that industry.

This drama Boyfriend on Demand looks so silly but could be fun if done in a tongue-and-cheek way. But I fear female lead Jisoo, doing the heavy lifting from her role, will get slammed yet again for her acting and diction. It’s like she keeps trying to be an actress and K-netizens keep refusing to accept her lol. This drama … Continue reading →
At the very start of the Netflix K-drama push in 2019 there was the son and daughter of the platform leading the way with Love Alarm.

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 →
