If I were the crew of MBC drama My Dearest I wouldn’t want a wrap party I would want to sleep for 3 days straight and get paid due overtime for the crazy filming conditions. This weekend Saturday night is the airing of the final episode of My Dearest and from the SNS posts of the cast it was filming … Continue reading →
This is such a weird (and terribly sad if true) story and tangentially related to the topic of media and fan intrusion into the lives of celebrities its worth a post. Figure skating world legend and Japanese sports superstar Yuzuru Hanyu (who may be second only to Shohei Ohtani for how globally famous he is) has announced that he is … Continue reading →
So I don’t check out the so-called booting ceremonies a lot, when a C-drama kicks off filming with prayers and red envelopes for good luck. But is it always so coordinated haha, because the cast and crew of Tang dynasty period drama The Legend of Jewelry were all wearing matching red jackets for the cast and blue jackets for the … Continue reading →
So this was a bit earlier in the year around summer time I recall but C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat got in the crosshairs of nitpicky C-netizens for her signature gesture that once you see it you know she’s going to do it at some point during an event. Reba puts her hand over her chest like she’s trying to prevent a … Continue reading →
I saw these new stills just after I finished watching The Marvels and it was exactly the eye bleach I needed to erase the image of Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan from my brain forever. Netflix released a batch of new drama stills for upcoming period creature feature series Gyeongseong Creature that sees Park Seo Joon and Han So … Continue reading →
The reshoot in order to air period drama The Golden Hairpin will happen, it’s a matter of when and who not if. As an S+ budget drama there is just too much money sunk in to let it never air so earlier this year it was reported that Lin Geng Xin would be the replacement male lead for Wu Yi … Continue reading →
It’s quite common for agencies of main lead stars to insist on a newcomer from their agency get a second or supporting role as a plus one casting for a drama to help launch the comparative new face. Producer Yu Zheng is especially known for doing and the recent C-drama Scent of Time with Zhou Ye and Wang Xing Yue … Continue reading →
Well this is a juicy midweek adrenaline rush in terms of hot gossip. A well known entertainment tabloid scooper in C-ent this week dropped the melon that top young actress Yang Zi was in fact not single. He claimed that Yang Zi was in a relationship with a long term boyfriend that lived in the same neighborhood as her hence … Continue reading →
So I don’t know who is behind it but it’s definitely getting some backlash online. Recently there have been comparisons of C-actress Zhao Lu Si with super popular It Girl pop star Jang Won Young of the group Ive in visuals. The blowback is that Zhao Lu Si’s fandom or her team is generating these comparisons to make her look … Continue reading →
It must’ve been a lackluster year in romance and rom-com K-dramas because of the top three favorite drama couples only one came from that genre. It goes to Junho and Yoona in rom-com King the Land, which brought in buzz and ratings for the network and lots of the love for the leads even if the drama itself was just … Continue reading →
Rom-coms are never big budgeted to begin with but when I saw the poster and first trailer for My Man is Cupid I just felt bad for the cast involved. This looks like a cast off project that leads Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, and Park Ki Woong picked up either to pay the bills or fill time on their open … Continue reading →
Ooooh, this is juicy and a true power struggle with stakes. I don’t think non-Chinese dialect speakers understand the genesis of the dub in C-dramas and even earlier with HK-dramas and TW-dramas. The issue is that the Chinese ethnic groups have so many dialects some of which are unintelligible to each other that a universal dialect is needed to at … Continue reading →
