I mean, there are two kids under 10 involved so this isn’t funny nor something that should be handled via public statements but yet here we are, day 3 of the Barbie Hsu (Da S) and Wang Xiaofei pending divorce. Normally the non-celeb spouse of a star in Taiwan ent gets little coverage but Chinese business man and chaebol heir … Continue reading →
Since I don’t follow either Hyeri or Jang Ki Yong I genuinely have no clue what they look like for the most part outside of their currently airing drama My Roommate is a Gumiho. And there both are just jjjjjaaaaaannnnnggg to the nth degree, he’s captured the tall, handsome, but not overly brooding mystique and she’s just a bundle of … Continue reading →
Despite my love for Lee Bo Young I am staying as far away from her new tvN Sat-Sun drama Mine as far as my legs can carry me. Watching a(nother) chaebol family behaving badly drama is about as appealing as getting a root canal without anesthesia. Mine is doing great in ratings, not as high as predecessor Vincenzo but started … Continue reading →
I don’t think I would argue with this assessment even if it’s possible to make alternative arguments. But by and large it really has been an epic run for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin in her 22-year long career on South Korean television. Her movie resume is actually longer but for I-audiences it’s really the world of K-dramas where one first … Continue reading →
Ooooooh, this looks so tasty a drama dish! The first stills are out for the fantasy drama The Witch’s Diner (Welcome to the Witch’s Restaurant) airing this July on streaming platform TVING. Starring Song Ji Hyo as the titular witch giving off plenty of Lee Man Wol from Hotel Del Luna vibes, the story centers around her opening a restaurant … Continue reading →
Man, if K-netizens collectively deserve to be punched in the face this instance would merit it. After My Roommate is a Gumiho premiered last week on tvN, K-netizens started to speculate and discuss that female lead Hyeri and her former Answer Me 1988 costar and real life boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol must’ve broken up because she’s too friendly with Roomie … Continue reading →
I found my drama crack of 2021 and it’s definitely tvN Wed-Thurs fantasy rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho (Frightening Cohabitation). My adoration of this drama is up there with how much I loved Start-up last year, less that the drama is a “work of art” but rather the drama “works my heart”. It makes me love and care about … Continue reading →
Okay, this post really should be a series of exclamation points and question marks and WTF headdesking. Or perhaps I’m simply unable and unwilling to look at that butcher’s cleaver that is time and accept that reality when I heard of this casting. K-actor Bae Soo Bin is returning to his sageuk roots joining the cast of Affection (Yeonmo) adapted … Continue reading →
K-actor Lee Do Hyun may be pulling a Song Kang this year with multiple dramas but I’m not too worried about his overexposure (yet). He’s currently in Youth of May and will also do Melancholia with Im Soo Jung, and now he’s also in talks for the upcoming webtoon adapted K-drama Hunting Dogs with Kwak Dong Yeon, and there will … Continue reading →
It’s midway through the airing of tvN Mon-Tues drama Doom at Your Service (One Day Destruction Came to My Door) and this is a good time to discuss and have more substantive feedback to add to the first impression. The ratings are trending the wrong way for this drama, starting with 4.118% in episode 1, reaching a high in episode … Continue reading →
The winds of casting gods shifts and turns and this time it’s a great surprise. The female lead offer is officially out for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of revenge novel The Youngest Son of Sunyoung (The Chaebol’s Youngest Son) and the prize has been presented to K-actress Shin Hyun Bin. I’m dying here because she’s totally different in every way … Continue reading →
As if I need another reason to love newly arrived tvN fantasy romance My Roommate is a Gumiho, a guest star is arriving that adds another layer of cuteness plus nostalgia. Sadly Ryu Jun Yeol is filming a drama and Park Bo Gum is off in the army, but another Answer Me 1988 male lead is showing up to reunite … Continue reading →
Yup, when you assemble it together like the Avengers its hard not to see the way wind trends are blowing for the second half of 2022. K-ent discussed that six big name female lead K-dramas scheduled for the second half of 2021 are all noona-dongsaeng romances or pairings, with an older woman and (much) younger man. We have Song Hye … Continue reading →
