At the very start of the Netflix K-drama push in 2019 there was the son and daughter of the platform leading the way with Love Alarm. The drama wasn’t a massive hit but did have plenty of viewers and buzz, but more importantly it showed that the streaming giant was serious about making inroads in K-dramas and could produce projects … Continue reading →
Haha, I’m so open to whatevers that when I first glanced at the article headers I legit thought these two were playing male leads in a drama where they were the OTP, and may even be cousins to boot! And I was like “shrug, K-dramas are getting way more edgy lol.” But it’s not that envelope pushing just let though … Continue reading →
It’s so hard to move from drama land to movie land in C-ent, even the top drama stars slowly work their way in expect bumps and bruises along the way. So it’s no surprise that last week during lunar new year there was the usual big release stacked movies to compete with all those vacation dollars at the box office, … Continue reading →
I like all that auspicious gold in promos for just started filming C-drama The Noble, but it’s also so literal with the poster designer taking the Chinese title of 金枝 Jin Zhi which means golden branch or golden bough and just illustrating it lol. The Tencent produced C-drama started filming this past week, in that spate of new drama productions … Continue reading →
I think this drama just started filming a few weeks ago but with Valentine’s Day last week everyone and their mother’s released a couple’s poster so we get an early first look at Tencent period romance The Road to Glory. Starring Zhang Ling He and Lin Yun, I love him and am so allergic to her and wish I can … Continue reading →
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 →
So it’s off to the races for the production of the C-drama adaptation of Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage.

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 →
The Tencent period C-drama Against the Current (兰香如故 Lan Xiang Ru Gu) released the new couple poster above this week to celebrate Valentine’s Day and also remind me that this drama is coming.

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. The actor has accepted the SBS legal drama There is a Winning Chance and his female lead is actress Ha Young, who has been in quite … Continue reading →
I am more a period C-drama girlie than I am a modern one, but whenever I watch a really addicting modern one it gets me excited for that genre for a period of time until the high dies down lol. I really enjoyed Shine on Me last month so now I’m more excited than usual as I watch one of … Continue reading →
