There are dramas I have a change of opinion and perhaps even merits a mea culpa of sorts. MBC Wed-Thurs drama Spring Night. I was really bored with the first two episodes but continued on because I quite like the performances of both leads Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In. I’m glad I continued because the story and directing … Continue reading →
There’s some happy news coming out of C-ent though it’s still rumor at this time. C-actress Zheng Shuang will reportedly tie the knot this coming October 2019 in Bali with her non-celebrity boyfriend of one year Zhang Heng.

There weren’t that many stars out at last week’s opening red carpet of the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival but it was enough to kick off the festivities. It’s the 23rd year of BiFan best known for sci-fi, monster, and other fantastical themed films which are all the rage still. The opening red carpet saw the arrival of Jung Woo … Continue reading →
I thought Ji Sung was playing a genius doctor in upcoming SBS Sat-Sun drama Doctor John but looks like he’ll also have a stint as a prisoner judging by this set of new drama stills. He looks good either way, serious and much too smexy. Joining him in Doctor John will be Lee Se Young trying to look older than … Continue reading →
The babies and the viewers are in for a treat this summer of 2019 as SBS is airing a new 16-episode variety show called Little Forest. It’s taking over the Mon-Tues time slot that was traditionally airing SBS dramas but this is not a permanent end to dramas for the network.

K-actor Choi Woo Shik started out as a drama supporting role and it’s pretty incredible how he’s now got a major movie career that is way more successful than what he’s done on the small screen.
