Looks like cable network jTBC is also jumping on the legal drama trend, as if there wasn’t a surfeit of such dramas over in the big three networks already. jTBC has picked up the K-drama adaptation of novel Miss Hammurabi chronicling the judicial legal profession. Sounds a lot like Nothing to Lose (Judge v. Judge) where all the leads are … Continue reading →
The current cheating scandal in C-ent with married Li Xiao Lu hooking up with rising young rapper PG One is really one for the books on how blatant it is. C-ent is firmly 100% on the side of cuckholded husband Jia Nai Liang, but then also rather pitying him for getting himself into this situation in the first place. Turns … Continue reading →
I may not like Gu Hye Sun as an actress but she’s showing legs in her artistic other endeavors which initially seemed like such a lark when she started dabbling year ago. This month Gu Hye Sun is holding another art exhibit in Seoul titled “mystery Pink” exploring innocence, fears, and dreams. She left large YG Entertainment after a decade … Continue reading →
The third weekend airing of tvN fantasy drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) went off without a hitch much like last weekend, and hopefully all the hiccups of the first weekend and surrounding mishaps are done with for good. Episodes 5 and 6 continued the ratings increase from last week, attaining 6.102% and 6.942% respectively. While tvN’s Wed-Thurs drama Wise Prison … Continue reading →
A nice wholesome bromance is a great sight for sore eyes this week, I’ve been dealing with a severe medical condition for ten days which has finally turned the corner for the better and it’s nice to be reminded of something positive. Mark Chao and Lin Geng Xin are two of China’s most well-known and popular male television leads, and … Continue reading →
Scandal is the flip coin of popularity and comes hand in hand in case folks argue that stars should expect privacy in their personal lives. C-ent has been gripped and atwitter over an adulterous cheating scandal that erupted on New Year’s Day. Married C-actress Li Xiao Lu was outed by a famous tabloid gossip column for being out the evening … Continue reading →
I’m still ambivalent about Suzy‘s win two weeks ago at the SBS 2018 Drama Awards for top actress and best couple with Lee Jong Seok for While You Were Sleeping. She was aptly humble in receiving the awards and I did think her performance was much better than I expected and hoped for. It didn’t help that her character was … Continue reading →
I actually think it’s a good time to do another adaption of the popular shoujo manga Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers), but I wonder if the upcoming Meteor Garden 2018 will go to the source material in adapting or remake the first time Taiwan dramas made the story into Meteor Garden in 2000. It makes a difference as remaking a … Continue reading →
All eyes are now on the Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food as the drama landed a very titular pretty noona indeed. Predominately movie actress Son Ye Jin is making one of her infrequent sojourns back to drama land as the female lead for the upcoming jTBC drama with the quirky title of Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food. The … Continue reading →
I wonder if looking perplexingly unattractive comes hand-in-hand with being a promotional ambassador for the upcoming 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic starting next month. How else to explain first Jang Geun Seok and now Lee Dong Wook all looking fairly worse for wear while doing a promo event. The waxy white visage and bad hairstyle have afflicted both actors, and made … Continue reading →
This could either be the breakout of a new acting star, think Yoon Kyun Sang in Pinocchio, or the underwhelming big debut of a new acting star like Yang Se Jong in Temperature of Love. Cable network jTBC has cast rising actor Ahn Hyo Seob opposite Kim Yoo Jung in its upcoming K-drama adaptation of webtoon Clean with Passion for … Continue reading →
Even as prime time K-drama ratings have take a one-way plunge for the last five years, weekend drama have remained steady in viewership and still able to deliver ratings into the 30s and even 40s on occasion. That’s why it’s no demotion to do a weekend drama, and for K-actress Lee Min Jung it just may be the jet boost … Continue reading →
While video definitely killed the radio star, it’s unclear yet if Youtibe will kill the television star. With that said, it’s nice to see a K-drama focus on an older form of entertainment medium that is radio, with plenty of people still tuning in daily to keep abreast of the news or keep company with the chatter. Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues … Continue reading →
