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 →

This one was not on my list of anticipated dramas but now after seeing the official filming wrap trailer I’m interested finally. Hunan TV modern romance C-drama Dazzling with Guan Xiao Tong and Li Yun Rui isn’t rumored to air anytime soon, and my guess from the vibe it’s well suited to be a summer release, but the drama was … 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. 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.

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 →
