Allow me some space to grieve folks, even if its posting old pictures. These filming and promotional stills with Takeuchi Yuko and Miura Haruma are from two years ago in 2018 when the two filmed the movie Confidence Man JP: The Movie, which takes the popular dorama starring Nagasawa Masami and moved it to the big screen. They were back … Continue reading →
I believe South Korean movie theaters are open and still following the every other seat blocked out method of social distancing. The summer movie season is over and school is back so we’re going to see more serious and feel good movies now and the first up premiering next week is Pawn (Korean title Collateral). Starring Sung Dong Il, Ha … Continue reading →
Last year’s 2019 Golden Bell Awards (Taiwan’s television top awards) were all about the exceptional and very serious The World Between Us dealing with mass shooting and the aftermath. This year the high profile winner comes from the very popular Someday or One Day, with female lead Alice Ke winning Best Actress and the drama taking home Best Drama. I’m … Continue reading →
F*#k F%&k F@$K 2020 to here and never back again! This cannot be happening. I…..just…..I can’t. I feel like I’m burying loved ones on after another and it’s inconceivable why it keeps happening. J-ent has reported that top J-actress Takeuchi Yuko has passed away at 40 years old. The cause of death is apparent suicide in her own home in … Continue reading →
Whenever a Lee Jun Ki drama succeeds it brings in droves of new fans, I’ve seen it beforehand so many times in the nearly 15 years since I’ve loved this young man turned really exemplary actor. He does a lot of projects and there are plenty of duds in his resume but I know when a viewer sees that something … Continue reading →
Woo hoo, such a relief to post happy and exciting news for once lately. J-ent has confirmed that the most adorable fake marriage J-dorama of all time is getting a follow up! Aragaki Yui and Hoshino Gen will be reunited in the coming months for the SP (special) episode of their mega hit 2016 J-dorama We Married as a Job … Continue reading →
There is so so much to be sad about the passing of Alien Huang (Xiao Gui). That he was just 36 years old, in his prime, that he passed from an aortic dissection which is fatal, and that days after his passing would have been his beloved father’s important 60th birthday. I believe Alien was already planning something, he must … Continue reading →
Good riddance, I hope never to see these two douchbags ever again in the public light. The Seoul court has handed down the final prison sentences for convicted rapist and sexual assault due of Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon. Maybe they can start a band in jail to entertain fellow inmates. The two were convicted of aggravated rape, … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more disenchanted with what to expect in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. I just…..really don’t like the sleazy-leaning vibe it’s going for with both male leads playing gumihos in Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum. One looks like he’s on the cover of a paranormal romance novel I can find in the lower shelf of … Continue reading →
K-actor Kim Soo Hyun went back to being the shy quiet type on his SNS account after his summer drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay finished airing. During he was so active (or maybe the account handler was) posting tons of BTS pictures that really added to the fun of live watching the drama alongside. His character there was … Continue reading →
I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth and quibble about the little things that were less than perfect about tvN Wed-Thurs drama Flower of Evil, because this flower was as beautiful and fragrant to behold and getting up and personal to look for imperfection defeats the central theme. The final episode hit a new ratings high of 5.715% … Continue reading →
The good news for Park Bo Gum in Record of Youth is that he’s no longer the only actor hard carrying this drama, his noona Shin Dong Mi who plays his agent just destroyed her scenes in this episode and validated all the earlier inklings that she’s really nailing her role. Too bad this drama isn’t a noona-dongsaeng/agent-actor romance because … Continue reading →
I’m so dating myself to immediately make the connection with paper dolls when I saw these new character stills for tvN drama Start-Up. Each lead is posed and around them are items connected with their likes/jobs/backgrounds. Totally paper dolls, like we cut then out and the cut the items out and then connect it to their hands or change their … Continue reading →
