I loved the first two episodes of Perfect Crown but a lot of that was just lowered expectations and giving the drama the benefit of the doubt during the set up phase. But since then each episode has just lessened my interest and excitement with now midway through airing episode 6 last week left me rather cold. The ratings have … Continue reading →
I liked but didn’t fully love K-drama Yumi’s Cells, and I probably appreciate what it was trying to more than the actual characterizations and romance lines appealing to me personally. It’s basically a trilogy in female lead Yumi’s love life and the first two books are heartfelt journeys with unfinished endings, which is realistic but doesn’t deliver on the feel … Continue reading →

So I think Gucci did this intentionally, and probably to create more buzz through conflict. Song Wei Long and Zhang Ling He have very similar acting and visual images in C-ent and both are brand ambassadors for Gucci in China. Last week Song Wei Long had a new campaign released for Gucci that immediately caused Zhang Ling He’s fandom to … Continue reading →
I can’t say this is a surprise, the pressure to be thin in entertainment is across the board in every single country in every medium.
