There’s a new arrival for TW-actress Ady An, a bouncing (or sleeping in the picture) baby boy for her with her businessman husband. The couple have been married two years and announced her pregnancy earlier this year. She released a slew of maternity pictures last month with a giant tummy clearly close to popping. I remember Ady the most vividly … Continue reading →
Zombie thriller flick Train to Busan was the highest grossing Korean movie at the box office in 2016 and for good reason. I’ve watched it multiple times and it’s still thrilling, a movie that builds the tension and keeps your attention by caring about the characters. A sequel has been in discussion which makes sense from a box office perspective … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of Hotel Del Luna male lead Yeo Jun Gu but find him really appropriately cast in his role. The righteous indignation mixed with clueless self-absorption is nicely brought to life, and the fact that he’s younger than female lead IU works in the drama context because her character has got hundreds if not thousands of years … Continue reading →
This Friday heralds the arrival of new SBS medical drama Doctor John, taking over the Fri-Sat time slot from period drama Nokdu Flower and afterwards will be followed by Vagabond. The drama posters are out and rather illusionary, with the top poster showing him in a proverbial glass box. Is he in a glass box of pain, or does being … Continue reading →
Oh bummer, I was hoping new Wed-Thurs sageuk Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung would get positive reviews, and definitely improved opinions on the acting ability of relative rookie actor Cha Eun Woo making his second drama lead appearance. I don’t know him to like or dislike him since I skipped his first drama but I have a feeling he’s being … Continue reading →
At this point I need some heartwarming drama to reaffirm my faith in life. Too bad Brilliant (The Light in Your Eyes) aired earlier this year because it was fan-freaking amazing and I wish I could savor it anew right when I’m dealing with real life and drama world life existential crises. Maybe upcoming MBC drama Welcome 2 Life will … Continue reading →
There’s another Chinese remake of a Taiwan drama finished filming and it’s one I’m cool with updating as the original really feels so dated. C-ent is remaking Prince Turns into Frog, that cracky silly romance that vaulted Ming Dao and Chen Qiao En into stardom though both have since fallen back to earth in recent years. The new version will … Continue reading →
I’ll follow the Kang Ji Hwan sex crime case to the finish, it’s the least to do for the two victims who thankfully have been vindicated from their victimhood being called into question by netizens. The latest case update is that the two women submitted very thorough statements to the police and it turns out they were at Kang Ji … Continue reading →
This is the cutest support visit ever and perfect as well for drumming up interest both ways. Recently discharged from the military Kim Soo Hyun made a surprise visit to the set of tvN drama Hotel Del Luna to support two of his former costars who are leads in the drama. He’s worked with IU twice before in Dream High … Continue reading →
I still don’t know what happened with his health last year but I’m glad to hear that young actor Kim Jung Hyun is making a comeback. He very publicly dropped out of a still airing drama Time last year citing health reasons, and I don’t know if he was openly miserable at the drama’s press conference because of said health … Continue reading →
The Taiwanese acting contingent may be smaller than their expansive Mainland colleagues but it’s always nice to see so many familiar faces stepping out in tandem to support a good cause. This weekend was the 2019 Taipei Film Awards, a more indie offering that suits the Taiwan film industry which has been more indie focused for two decades now. This … Continue reading →
This was a fast resolution and best for everyone involved. I’m sick of K-ent stars denying denying and denying criminal activity only to admit it in the end after irrefutable evidence is revealed. K-actor Kang Ji Hwan has admitted to the charges of rape and sexual assault on two women last week at his home after the three were hanging … Continue reading →
If the leads of Before We Get Married don’t get together soon imma not going to throw a table, I’ll just switch all my attention to best friend Ke Fei and best little sister Zi Ting. I can handle the conflicting emotions of Wei Wei and no I don’t want her to end an engagement and toss her boyfriend of … Continue reading →
