Leads Alice Ke and Roy Qiu said in recent interviews that it was the most intense and revealing onscreen … Continue reading →
It’s still hard to fully believe that Descendants of the Sun is right around the corner, premiering in mid-February on KBS Wed-Thurs, taking over from The Merchant: Gaekju 2015. I’m still super excited even if the first teasers weren’t what I expected, at least nothing looked terrible or awkward right off the bat. Song Joong Ki remains the number one reason for my … Continue reading →
A good story makes the most out of its fictional conundrums, weaving intricate webs of conflict that leads to a cathartic payoff. The beauty and tragedy in Lost You Forever is that the conflict happens around characters that I love, and if I were to splice the three male leads together into one super character then that would be the … Continue reading →
While the doomsday clock has started ticking on the late 86 and 87 Korean male stars slated to enlist for their mandatory military service, one silver lining that it’s already 2016 comes in the form of the impending military discharge of Yoon Si Yoon on January 27th.

The choice is in the hands of Han Ye Seul‘s character, but I wonder which of these three good looking young men will the audiences fall for when jTBC drama Madame Antoine premieres next Friday.

I don’t follow any brands, whatever the product it’s selling, so on occasion when I post about CFs it’s in relation to the spokesperson selected for that particular campaign who happens to be a star I like quite a lot. With that said, following an industry like K-ent for so many years, some things linger in the periphery of the … Continue reading →
Yoon Eun Hye‘s foray into Chinese variety continues as she mulls over her next acting project. Doesn’t hurt to stay in the public limelight, and this particular show is a pretty neat concept.

These days any news around Bu Bu Jing Xin is all about the K-version adaptation, which isn’t remaking the C-drama but is adapting the original source C-novel in its own way.
