It’s ironic that an article about the decrease in K-drama production and many established stars having a dearth of script offers is followed by news of a rookie landing a big project. Rising young actress Hong Hwa Yeon will be the female lead in SBS drama Treasure Island, with male lead Park Hyung Sik and veteran Heo Joon Ho. She … Continue reading →
The schedule is set for Fangs of Fortune to arrive end of this month October on iQiyi.

Starring … Continue reading →
It’s rare to see an actor or actress have three lead role dramas airing in such short proximity and it’s happening for Zhang Wan Yi. He was male lead in Lost You Forever Part 2 which actually should have really accentuated his character based on the story line in the second half of the LYF novel but the drama editing … Continue reading →
Inflation is everywhere and the lack of successful projects and products is true across nearly every industry. K-actress Kim Ha Neul recently was interviewed and shared how she and most stars are seeing a lack of scripts being offered.

The Paris Fashion Show for the SS25 season is still going on and I swear it feels never ending from the SNS updates but I guess there really are that many European fashion brands. A lot of Asian celebs have been in attendance the last two weeks and this week Yang Zi and Zhang Wan Yi staged a Lost You … Continue reading →
Being a Namgoong Min fans since the very early days when he was playing second male leads and villains two decades ago til now feels like a journey that paid off with commitment and resilience.

The phenomenon that is smacking shirts (Chinese colloquial slang for wearing the same outfit) has really crossed country and industry lines so much so that it’s a stark reminder that there aren’t that many fashion houses out there. If we take the top ten from France, Italy, and US, chances are there is only so many red carpet, performance, and … Continue reading →
It’s been a great two years for Zhao Jin Mai, with many of her recently aired dramas from Reset to Amidst a Snowstorm of Love and The Princess Royal all sold hits. Plus she has big dramas on deck with Drifting Away and Our Generation and recently landed soon to start filming drama Blazing Sunlight. All of this is to … Continue reading →
When I see how fast C-stars rises and falls can be I am so supportive of the work until you can’t anymore mentality like in pro sports. So stars that seem to be in so many dramas it’s a testament to productions wanting him/her, case in point Zhang Ling He. He’s confirmed to go from filming modern drama Our Generation … Continue reading →
This drama within a drama is totally more interesting for me than I think the actual drama will be. It’s going on three weeks now of complaints from mostly Dilraba Dilmurat and her fandom about the unattractive and cheap looking costuming (hair, makeup, and outfits) for the xianxia drama Love Beyond the Grave. To be fair to the drama, the … Continue reading →
There is a reason why the abused stay with the abuser for way longer than they should, and the same goes for artists stuck with Yu Zheng who does a lot to make his stars famous but also milks each star to the max.

So it’s a mixed bag with Allen Ren‘s currently airing drama Love of Nirvana, initially it was deemed a flop from the premiere numbers but in recent days has actually been inching up in views and positive reviews. That should be a relief for iQiyi as it’s tapped Allen to be the male lead for the recently started filming xianxia … Continue reading →
So this latest melon on the airing date of The Demon Hunter’s Romance (无忧渡 Wu You Du) is solid enough to share, even if it still can get moved due to unknown factors.
