Currently airing period drama The Legend of Zhuohua is not a bad story but C-netizens are crapping all over how old and visually unappealing Feng Shao Feng looks and feeling bad for Jing Tian and it’s just not a happy watch. But the story of a cold on the outside and kind on the inside royal male lead and a … Continue reading →
So this is going to be an interesting drama to watch when it comes out because eagle-eyed fans are going to wonder what was re-filmed and whether the three year gap made some of the OG cast look different when back for the reshoots.

New jTBC drama Destined with You premiered last week and if the supernatural romance drama starring Ro Woon and Jo Boa sounded interesting to you then it’s time to dive in.

If this drama aired on Netflix it would be HUGE based on how much people are talking about it, from the story to the acting to the execution and both the … Continue reading →
