I may find Chinese drama producer Yu Zheng a giant turd of a personality and his dramas all fluff with no substance, lately he’s been producing extremely pretty fluff even beyond his usual level. The first stills are out for his upcoming drama Zhao Ge, which is the name of the capital of the Shang dynasty, starring Zhang Zhe Han … Continue reading →
This weekend’s episodes 11 and 12 of Goblin were epic, and in a way not relying on the sound and the fury of narrative excess but instead stringing along quiet moment of pathos that builds and builds. The ratings inched past the 13% nationwide AGB range for both episodes which remains an incredible feat despite the drama not reaching the … Continue reading →
I love Lee Jun Ki so much that I’ll even accept his triggering of a memory I desperately want to forgot. Lee Jun Ki was in Taiwan over the weekend and showed up as a surprise guest at IU‘s concert in Taipei. This reunion of the Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo OTP generated the opposite of squees from me in … Continue reading →
A big congrats is in store as yet another happy marriage news continues the Taiwan entertainment trend since middle of 2016 of getting famous actresses off the singles market. Model-actress Lene Lai announced this week at the lunar new year end party of her modeling agency EeLin that she was now a wife! She attended with her boyfriend actor Nylon … Continue reading →
I’ve adored idol-actor Yook Sung Jae since Who Are You: School 2015, and even though he doesn’t have any scenes (so far) with guest starring Kim So Hyun in currently airing tvN drama Goblin it’s still a perfect canvas for his talents. He’s young and brash, a breath of energy when the drama can sometimes slow down to a crawl … Continue reading →
Looks like K-ent is back in the races with respect to wedding bell news, what with the Chinese-speaking entertainment world deluge of weddings last year. This will be a great month of January and a happy 2017 for long dating Korean acting couple Ryu Soo Young and Park Ha Sun. The couple announced that they will be tying the knot … Continue reading →
The new year of 2017 is certainly off to a good start with respect to the entertainment industry, no bad news and now a very happy news to share. TW-actress and producer Ruby Lin gave birth on January 6th to her first child with TW-actor husband Wallace Huo. Ruby announced the happy news by posting on her SNS with a … Continue reading →
I’m getting major déjà vu vibes from the previews for Introverted Boss (Sensitive Boss), the upcoming workplace comedy drama on tvN airing on Mon-Tues after Rude Miss Young Ae season 15. It reminds me so much of the mood and feels from both Another Oh Hae Young and Marriage Not Dating, and it’s not just because there are so many … Continue reading →
I definitely have a soft spot for Legend of the Blue Sea, putting up with so much poor plotting and character development for the little bits that work. Right now I care about Joon Jae reuniting with his poor mom, and thank god the end of episode 15 got us right to that brink as long as there isn’t a … Continue reading →
China’s Sohu streaming portal, one of the largest and also the bidding winner in getting exclusive streaming rights to many of the high profile K-dramas of 2016, held a hilarious and pretty on point awards ceremony of its own this week. The portal released an awards video of the 2nd Annual Golden Kimchee Awards celebrating and chastising the best and worst … Continue reading →
It’s a treat adoring an entertainer like Aaron Yan since he always has something to offer. He’s basically active all year round split between his acting and singing career. The former was pretty shaky when he first dipped a toe in but has since seen marked improvement that is less future award winning acting god and more delivering the emotional … Continue reading →
Episode 11 of Goblin is coming up which means only 6 episodes left of this addicting fantasy drama. Kim Eun Sook has kept her world building tight so far and has said that this drama was years in the writing for her and the conclusion will not be a narrative letdown for the audience. I believe her, she hasn’t thrown … Continue reading →
This looks like a promising enough office place situational comedy, and one that isn’t currently all over the networks like medical or legal dramas. Upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Chief Kim released first stills recently showcasing male leads Namgong Min as the titular Chief Kim and idol-actor Junho of 2PM as his office rival. A year ago this drama would have … Continue reading →
