Kang Daniel, leader of Wanna One and winner of Produce 101 boy edition, and also … Continue reading →

Despite K-actor Kang Ji Hwan admitting publicly that he was guilty of the allegations of rape and sexual assault on two women last month in July 2019, he still is still planning to go through a proper trial.

K-actress Park Min Young had an enviably chic summer, spending time doing a Vogue Taiwan photoshoot that elicits all sorts of fashion envy in me. Landing any Vogue cover is such an honor for any female star and Park Min Young’s Vogue Taiwan photos capture how varied her charisma is in front of the camera.

It’s hard to say goodbye even when you know there’s no other way. With Kang Ji Hwan publicly admitting culpability for recent charges of rape and sexual assault on two women, waiting for the outcome of the court case is prolonging the inevitable cancellation that he’s facing from probably most if not all his fans, myself included. Good actor or … Continue reading →
I’m quite amused with how popular Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) is in South Korea now. He conquered Japan early on his career and I could see his offbeat and sweet nature appealing to the Japanese fans. But I didn’t quite envision he would one day be perhaps the most popular Taiwanese actor to the South Korean netizens. He’s also … Continue reading →
Looks like tvN was all ready for the switcheroo when it swapped Catch the Ghost with Moon Geun Young for Song Seung Heon‘s Great Show because two days after the news drops the first stills are here.

This is a surprise, super duper surprise hit of the summer, with disaster comedy movie Exit premiering top of the box office this week. Watching the trailer after I heard about how well the movie did made me realize it was totally primed to succeed, Jo Jung Seok and Yoona are hitting all the right comedy and scared buttons as … Continue reading →
I love how Netflix is all over the map with the genres of K-dramas it picks up, with upcoming Love Alarm doing the classic high school romance love triangle that can be so sweetly angsty when done right. Starring Kim So Hyun with two rising male actors Song Kang and Jung Ga Ram, I’m the first to say she’s the … Continue reading →
There’s a switcheroo with the tvN Mon-Tues K-drama airing time slot. The network is delaying subway police drama Catch the Ghost until October rather last minute and and will family political drama Great Show first in August after Designated Survivor.
