I…..am at loss for words. Like, how is it possible that The King: Eternal Monarch is written by Kim Eun Sook. I have watched EVERY SINGLE drama she has written and I’m not even talking about her recent year trendy hits like Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, Heirs and Secret Garden. She wrote my all time favorite K-drama City Hall, … Continue reading →
First off, I hope salty commenters will stop and just think of how incredible and commendable it is for these young women to earn their money from their own hard work whether by singing, acting, or doing CFs because of their popularity from singing and acting. This week K-ent variety ran a segment on the girl idol with the most … Continue reading →
I really make an effort to post enlistment news because it’s always weird if casual drama viewers suddenly don’t hear about an actor and it’s because that guy has gone off for two years for mandatory military service. It’s Yang Se Jong‘s time next month, he’s enlisting in the army on May 12th so godspeed and be safe young man. … Continue reading →
I need a reason to like either lead characters in The King: Eternal Monarch and 4-episodes I can’t find a reason and the story is so convoluted to boot. The new stills for episode 5 still make me annoyed, it’s the same cool, calm, handsome beautific smile from Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun alternatively is looking dumbstruck, then … Continue reading →
Okay, after last year 2019’s epically sordid taxi makeout cheating between top singer Andy Hui with starlet Jacqueline Wong and later forgiven by Andy’s also top singer wife Sammi Cheng, it’s like the entire HK ent should be scared straight on like maybe NOT CHEATING and definitely not in public. But a year later and here we go again – … Continue reading →
I feel like tvN Mon-Tues drama A Piece of Your Mind was the similar cousin to jTBC also Mon-Tues drama When the Weather is Good. Both were quietly paced and warmly emotional, and neither got high ratings or buzz during its run. I watched all of When the Weather is Good, really powering through almost because I wanted so much … Continue reading →
It’s been a few days and the public attention has dropped from 100000000% to like 90% heh. Still a whole lot and who can blame the Chinese-speaking media and rubbernecking fans for keeping the spotlight on Chinese instagram star and fashionista Grace Chow putting ex-boyfriend top idol and host Show Luo on blast for cheating on her during their 9 … Continue reading →
It’s crazy that K-actor Jang Dong Yoon‘s name is attached to so many dramas in 2020 already. His new thriller action drama Search will premiere soon on OCN, a great pick for him to totally change up from his last drama The Tale of Nokdu. He was also considering the jTBC rom-com adaptation of the manhwa Sunbae, Please Don’t Put … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see Gong Hyo Jin active in promotions this spring, probably capitalizing on the great momentum from 2019 when she won awards and ratings with her hit drama When the Camellia Blooms. It was a tad schizophrenic for me, like two totally unrelated dramas being Franken-stitched into one. Gong Hyo Jin remains always watchable with a down to … Continue reading →
C-ent was hyping up The King: Eternal Monarch as well as rightfully so. Lee Min Ho dramas always do well in Chinese-speaking regions and same with all prior Kim Eun Sook penned dramas. But 4-episodes in even the notoriously fawning C-media is posting incisive analyses for why The King hasn’t been the hit it was built up to be. On … Continue reading →
I can’t believe Jang Ki Yong passed on Record of Youth for this drama Born Again, because even if Youth fails and isn’t that good it cannot be as totally and wholly stupid as Born Again hahahah. This drama is so awful and yet it’s awful enough that its entertaining to watch, I can’t explain why logically just that I … Continue reading →
There is nothing wrong per se with jTBC Mon-Tues drama When the Weather is Nice (I’ll Come By When the Weather is Good) but there was also nothing really riveting about it. This is a drama equivalent of a warm oversized sweater, there is nothing stylistically worth noting but it serves a functional purpose. Weather was all about emotional growth … Continue reading →
Wowser, consider me surprised but also believing that this could have happened. New SBS Mon-Tues drama Good Casting, which takes over from Nobody Knows, rather impressed with a nobody could have expected surprising ratings. Episode 1 notched 9.5% and 12.3%, making it easily the time slot ratings leader over low single digit competitors Born Again and 365: Repeat the Year. … Continue reading →
