When I’m busy, and lately I’ve been busier then ever, it feels like currently airing dramas are passing me by and new dramas are arriving way before I’m ready. Script reading took place last week for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama One More Happy Ending, taking over towards the end of January 2016 for Sweet Savage Family. Starring Jang Nara, Jung … Continue reading →
Time off to get married and have a baby is a hard break for any entertainer’s career, but when it comes to Lee Min Jung there is an added hurdle for her to overcome in coming back. She’s married to one of the most famous Korean stars in Lee Byung Hun, but his fame has been tinted with scandal since … Continue reading →
Consider me impressed by Ji Chang Wook’s career expansion into Mainland China. It’s certainly following in similar footsteps of other popular Hallyu stars, heading there to do dramas, singing, or model after a hit K-drama or movie opens the floodgates of recognition. In Ji Chang Wook’s case it’s all due to the one-two punch of Empress Ki and Healer, but … Continue reading →
Last week SBS quietly wrapped up the run on Wed-Thurs drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret), a drama that never got much traction or buzz but was reportedly well made enough to not be a blight on the resume of the cast and crew despite the low ratings. This week sees the premiere of Remember with Yoo Seung Ho as the … Continue reading →
The return to television of famed screenwriter Kim Soo Hyun is going to happen in a big way, or more aptly in a long way. Kim Soo Hyun’s upcoming SBS weekend drama Yes That’s How It Is will be airing for 70-episodes, which is insanely long considering it’s not a half hour daily drama. That’s Jumong in length, and Jumong … Continue reading →
The last chapter of Lost You Forever was so action packed everyone needed to take a breather to assess the current impasse. Jing is likely dead, so Xiao Yao is depressed, and Xiao Yao being depressed makes Zhuan Xu upset, but then he’s probably not all that upset since in the long run Jing’s not his romantic rival anymore. Sadly … Continue reading →
I feel like very few current K-drama viewers will remember who Heo Yi Jae is, and really four years isn’t that long a time to be away but it certainly feels like her time has passed her by. Former K-drama leading lady Heo Yi Jae has recently been making a slow return to the entertainment world, four years after she … Continue reading →
God I love this drama so much, so *bleeping* much. The pace is slowing down in Marry Me or Not, but the narrative is deepening because of it as the characters try to figure out what they are really feeling about each other. Episode 6 was yet another phenomenal outing, funny and tense and romantic all wrapped into one. I’m … Continue reading →
It could be viewed as another day, another Park Shin Hye ad campaign, and she certainly has no shortage of those at this height of popularity. But I so love one particular picture in the collection it’s worth the usual same old gut check reaction come across something captivating. The top picture is from the recently released Bruno Magli winter … Continue reading →
Now this is how I call throwing a fun awards show shindig. One of China’s top streaming sites iQiyi hosted the 2016 All-star Carnival this past weekend and it appeared all the It Stars showed up, and then some. There were so many scene stealing reunions on stage one doesn’t even know where to look – is it Hu Ge … Continue reading →
A new K-drama started casting recently with the addition of not one but two male leads at the same time. Jung Il Woo and Ahn Jae Hyun are reportedly inked for upcoming romantic fantasy drama Cinderella and Four Knights, adapted from the Korean web novel of the same name. The drama is being produced by the production company behind You … Continue reading →
Every since Jolin Tsai released her beautiful ballad single and MV last December “We’re All Different, But the Same”, I’ve really started to see her in a new light. She’s been around for what feels like forever, and is undisputably Taiwan’s top female solo singer. She’s an idol and I don’t really follow that genre of music so it’s occasionally … Continue reading →
The switch has just flipped for me with respect to upcoming tvN Mon-Tues drama Cheese in the Trap. This drama got tons of early publicity thanks to the casting carousel, and it will soon validate whether the final cast was all suitably selected, but for now all eyes trained on tvN are on the Fri-Sat hit drama that is Answer … Continue reading →
