So it’s good that I kinda liked Tian Jia Rui the first time I watched him as a supporting male lead in C-drama My Journey to You because he’s about to be everywhere thanks to director Guo Jing Ming. He’s going to be in Fangs of Fortune and this week Guo Jing Ming announced two new C-dramas which one is … Continue reading →
Well The Princess Royal fans (me included!) are in for a treat as C-ent is all but confirming that Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He are teaming up for a round two. Or round three, since their TPR characters are already on their own round two haha. They have been cast in the C-drama Our Generation adapted from the … Continue reading →
So this drama and casting was first announced late in 2023 but with the latest announcement from CJ ENM it appears to be definitely in the works. Ji Chang Wook and D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) will be starring in Sculptured City in a twisted revenge tale. It’s about an ordinary man who has his life manipulated into a hell and … Continue reading →
For a very specialized bank that originated for the agricultural sector, NH Bank (Nonghyub Bank) is a surprising hypebeast when it comes to selecting spokespersons. Earlier this year after Han So Hee got into a love train scandal with Ryu Jun Yeon and Hyeri, she lost a few endorsements and one of them was NB Bank. The Bank ended its endorsement deal with … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Hye Yoon is definitely living her best Happy Girl Summer as opposed to the meme of the Hot Girl Summer that comes around every such season. She has been spotted many times in June already flying out for events overseas including the cast and crew reward vacation for Lovely Runner. Every time she’s at the airport she just … Continue reading →
The first Sweet Home was a hit for Netflix at the beginning of the platform’s rise in produced K-dramas but sadly Sweet Home 2 was a bloated mess so now the returning Sweet Home 3 just feels anticlimactic. If there is a reason to check out SH3 airing on July 19th it’s the return of Lee Do Hyun and his … Continue reading →
So the end of The Double nicely dovetailed for me right into the start of The Princess Royal. It’s not the same vibes or addictiveness though, TPR is slower and less makjang in that thrilling way TD delivered beat after beat of getting a satisfying revenge payoff, but instead lets a second chance marriage and romance develop in lovely beats. … Continue reading →
When K-actress Shin Se Kyung changed agency for the first time, it was three years ago when she left Namoo Actors for EDAM and that was a huge deal since she was with Namoo Actors for 19 years thanks to her child star entree into the industry. This week it was announced that she’s parted ways with EDAM and will … Continue reading →
I’m a nostalgist and also have developed patience with age, the year long wait between Lost You Forever Part 1 and now the coming Part 2 was frustrating when it happened but now feels like a shrug of no big deal. The drama is returning next week and Tencent released the first batch of official lead stills showing Yang Zi, … Continue reading →
So there is a female lead and a plot synopsis for Namgoong Min and his next project a melo romance drama for tvN. It’s titled Our Movie and the female lead will be Jeon Yeo Bin, a movie actress who got a big burst into mainstream with Vincenzo but her next two dramas Glitch and A Time Called You didn’t … Continue reading →
This goes to show how one action can snowball and lead to many additional consequences. Last week Wang Xing Yue‘s production office released a video showing his character Xiao Heng dying in the final battle in the drama The Double. The stated intent was to showcase his character and acting, the behind-the-scenes intent was to harsh the buzz of CP … Continue reading →
So I probably will end up skipping Follow Your Heart, and initially it was due to logistics and now due to feedback. I was super addicted to The Double and only had bandwidth for that drama and was planning on watching Follow Your Heart after, but then when The Double ended I heard that Follow Your Heart wasn’t really interesting. … Continue reading →
I’ve been tapped out of the adaptations of famous Louis Cha (Jin Yong) wuxia novels for beyond the last decade. The last ones I watched were the Hu Ge and Ariel Lin led Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Huang Xiaoming and Crystal Liu version of Return of the Condor Heroes. I grew up on the TVB 80’s versions … Continue reading →
