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. That makes 2026 this new lunar year of the Horse hopefully one of evolution and positive progress. Last year she didn’t film a drama but her … Continue reading →
All the recent talk that Meng Zi Yi is likely miscast as the female lead of the drama adaptation of Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage doesn’t mean she’s a bad actress or that roles don’t suit that. 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. The actor has accepted the SBS legal drama There is a Winning Chance and his female lead is actress Ha Young, who has been in quite … Continue reading →
I am more a period C-drama girlie than I am a modern one, but whenever I watch a really addicting modern one it gets me excited for that genre for a period of time until the high dies down lol. I really enjoyed Shine on Me last month so now I’m more excited than usual as I watch one of … Continue reading →
The speed at which C-dramas start filming and then churn out promos is astonishing, I swear this drama just started filming like maybe a week go and now the first look is here.

I feel like the mid-2010s just whooshed right back and erased a decade with this casting, lol. Nothing wrong with it but it does feel old school. Seo In Guk and Krystal have been cast in romance K-drama An Officer Worker Who Sees Fate, adapted from the same name webtoon. He plays a guy destined to become a fortune teller … Continue reading →

The follow up project after a breakout hit for any star is always interesting news and comes with heightened scrutiny. With great power comes greater responsibility lol. K-actor Lee Chae Min ended last year on a career high thanks to K-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (The Tyrant’s Chef) which was one of the biggest hits of 2025. Now he’s in … Continue reading →
We should have gotten these first lol. What’s a good romance drama promo without starting with the romance aspect of it, namely stills of the leads in one frame. The two newly released drama stills from Perfect Crown finally show something happening with leads IU and Byun Woo Seok. His character has been quite two-dimensional for me in the promos … Continue reading →
The Cha Eun Woo tax evasion scandal started before his fellow agency mate Kim Sun Ho but that one wrapped up quickly (admission and apology and payment of taxes) while his seems to still be ongoing for whatever reason. For scandals its a double edged sword of concluding quickly to move on faster or drag on until hopefully the next … Continue reading →
I do like reunions of leads from hit dramas but these two Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui I have no feels about since I didn’t watch Blossom and neither ever appealed to me strongly before.
