Durrrr, this drama pace is really challenging my patience. Don’t fret, I still love Alchemy of Souls and it’s the one drama I immediately think to watch when I wake up on Saturday and Sunday mornings when new episodes drop, but episode 13 was sooooooooo slow. It was half Wook and Mu Deok escaping Jin Mu and half more training … Continue reading →
I think this won’t impact K-actor Kang Tae Oh‘s career too much and it may just delay his ascendance to big time male lead level for another two years. K-ent is reporting that Kang Tae Oh is scheduled to enlist for his mandatory military service in either August or September. He was reportedly enlisting this year regardless but now more … Continue reading →
Recently Netflix has been getting flack for its self-produced shows and movies, namely that there hasn’t been as good a quality as previous years and the hits from this year come from licensed shows that stream on the platform. I wouldn’t signal the death knell on Netflix anytime soon but I’m selfishly wishing all its new movies and dramas are … Continue reading →
I feel bad for these two dramas which actually both look good and create counter programming so something for different tastes. But with Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo dominating across the board in buzz it almost feels like these two new premieres aren’t getting as much attention as it would have normally. New MBC Fri-Sat drama is Big Mouth with … Continue reading →
Next year’s 2023 the Best Actress Baeksang is definitely going through Park Eun Bin for Extraordinary Attorney Woo. She missed out last year after being nominated for The King’s Affection which makes her chance even better this year, plus she has delivered the biggest surprise hit in years that is dominating South Korean watercoolers. The drama took another high jump … Continue reading →
This is such a shocking and terribly sad accident and it’s trending all over global news portals. HK 12-member boy bang Mirror was holding a large concert at Hong Kong Coliseum on Friday when during the performance one of the three giant LED screens hanging over the stage suddenly fell and unfortunately struck two backup dancers. One was critically injured … Continue reading →
The 2022 is more than half over but some things don’t change. I feel like the folks on the top 10 lists in South Korea rarely change and this new aggregation of the top earners for 2022 so far is a collection of the same names. Making the list as the only solo female star is Jeon Ji Hyun at … Continue reading →
Time for a laugh inducing post, chingus! Other than everyone and their grandmothers and even people who just came out of a coma all eating at Subways for breakfast/lunch/dinner/dream sequences, there are many other examples of egregious PPL (product placement) in K-dramas. A recent set of GIFs and stills helpfully collected it so you can see with your own eyes … Continue reading →
When the C-ent gossip netizens who claimed last week that HK-actor Jacky Heung cheated on his TW-actress wife Bea Hayden during her second pregnancy by taking a girl back to their condo, and further claimed he’s done this many times before, they also threatened to drop more tea because Jacky’s momma bear mother Tiffany Chen went on the offensive claiming … Continue reading →
This Tuesday saw the conclusion of Link: Eat, Love, Kill with Yeo Jin Gu and Moon Ga Young in what is best described as an underwhelming run. Ratings started at 3.124% and then went downhill from there with a series low at one point of 1.423% and overall averaging 2.108%. The drama however appears to have a noted ardent following … Continue reading →
The actors or actresses who attend prestigious acting colleges like the most prestigious Beijing Film Academy tend to debut later after graduating, though there are the rare ones like grown up child actor Wu Lei who got accepted after he made a name for himself in multiple dramas and now continues to act and study at the same time. And … Continue reading →
Well this is either going to be epic or a hot mess, and I’m hoping for epic and think it will actually work out. Thirty years after the release of super popular and beloved shonen manga Yu Yu Hakusho, still readable today and stands the test of time, it’s finally getting a live action adaptation. Netflix will be producing the … Continue reading →
The contrast could not be greater between Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young in their upcoming drama Love by Law, versus each other in this drama and versus their characters in their previous drama that they first worked together on A Korean Odyssey (Hwayugi). She’s all grown up, with a good head on her shoulders as a capable lawyer, … Continue reading →
