The follow up project after a breakout hit for any star is always interesting news and comes with heightened scrutiny. With great power comes greater responsibility lol. K-actor Lee Chae Min ended last year on a career high thanks to K-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (The Tyrant’s Chef) which was one of the biggest hits of 2025. Now he’s in … Continue reading →
We should have gotten these first lol. What’s a good romance drama promo without starting with the romance aspect of it, namely stills of the leads in one frame. The two newly released drama stills from Perfect Crown finally show something happening with leads IU and Byun Woo Seok. His character has been quite two-dimensional for me in the promos … Continue reading →
The Cha Eun Woo tax evasion scandal started before his fellow agency mate Kim Sun Ho but that one wrapped up quickly (admission and apology and payment of taxes) while his seems to still be ongoing for whatever reason. For scandals its a double edged sword of concluding quickly to move on faster or drag on until hopefully the next … Continue reading →
There are many shelved dramas in both K-ent and C-ent, ones that have never seen the light and others released quietly a long time after whatever scandal halted its release. The high profile big budget Signal 2 (The Second Signal), the long awaited second season to the hit 2016 tvN drama has likely joined that ignominious group. This week tvN … Continue reading →
Oh I’m down with this unexpected and fresh K-drama pairing. Kim Sung Cheol and Jin Ki Joo are in talks for a new medical K-drama titled Sleeping Doctor (or Doctor Sleep) described as a healing drama. Both will play doctors, with her as someone who has experienced sexual assault and learned to overcome it, but is also plagued by narcolepsy … Continue reading →
Some great news on a sequel front overall, but comes with one downside development. The production of hit K-drama Moving is closely to moving forward to start filming season 2, and Moving 2 will be written by the same original webtoon writer who did the first season that helped make it so good. This week K-ent reported that mommy and … Continue reading →
I have a confession, I’ve never finished watching Lovely Runner lol. I liked the first two episodes, but life got busy and I put it aside and never got back to it even after it became a breakout hit. That means I still don’t personally understand the meteoric rise of Byun Woo Seok but it’s a double edged sword for … Continue reading →
The fallout is already starting to be covered in K-ent with the recent tax evasion scandals with same agency stars Cha Eun Woo and then Kim Sun Ho. For Kim Sun Ho, this past day his agency Fantagio announced that he has accepted responsibility and is reflecting on not following procedures for opening his personal agency and the funds flow, … Continue reading →
Even if this K-drama turns out to be just mid, as so many are these days, I’m still planning to watch for the visuals. Female lead IU in the upcoming MBC drama Perfect Crown plays the chaebol heiress who enters an arranged marriage with the nation’s prince to gain the prestige and status she can’t buy with money. She’s done … Continue reading →
It’s only been five years since the first season of Yumi’s Cells aired in 2021 but it feels twice that long honestly. The drama did a great job of adapting the webtoon and also managed the messiness of love and breakups through two seasons of fairly realistic and happy/sad emotional beats. But the big break between season 2 and the … Continue reading →
This drama was cast in late 2025 but won’t arrive on screens until 2027, but it’s a big production so that is understandable. Which means the drama continues to add cast members this year and the latest addition is Choi Hyun Wook. The actor has joined Soul starring Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, and penned by hitmaker Park … Continue reading →
Period dramas don’t immediately refer to historicals, these days as time moves forward even what feels like just yesteryear is now a “period” piece with defined aesthetics and bygone elements. Netflix has released the first stills for the K-drama Tantara (Korean title Show Business) set in the modern era of South Korean entertainment, it starts in the 1960s and goes … Continue reading →
Oh this is not good news to wake up and see for me. If true what a shame, a clean reputation to date tanked to save on taxes. K-ent is reporting that actor-singer Cha Eun Woo is under investigation for tax evasion by the government, and it actually started in spring of 2025 so last year. The gist of it … Continue reading →
