This is fantastic and reassuring drama casting news for me – rising acting talent Yoon Kyun Sang and Lee Sung Kyung are confirmed for upcoming SBS drama Doctors (formerly called Female Gangster Hye Jung). They will join leads Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye in a story centered around the neurosurgery department of a top Seoul hospital. This casting … Continue reading →
No matter how Descendants of the Sun ends this coming week, I hope drama fans who have been watching along with me, and hopefully all enjoying it for whatever reasons, continue to have the faith to see it through the end. I’ve been posted the written ending spoilers for a few weeks now, the first coming out of China from … Continue reading →
With the three leads of the most recent installment of the Answer Me drama series from tvN all going on to be leads of soon-to-air prime time dramas, it’s still incredible how this series has created stars from relative unknowns or elevated talent to new levels of fame. From Answer Me 1998, Park Bo Gum is doing Moonlight Drawn From … Continue reading →
In a nice fanservice treat to the hordes of drama fans of Descendants of the Sun, the leads jetted off to Hong Kong this week for a promotional event that is giving shipper dreams a nice boost. Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, along with members of their drama support staff, have been cheerfully going through the media gauntlet in … Continue reading →
With main lead Kang Ji Hwan out of the bag for upcoming MBC drama Monster (Tyrant), it’s nice of the production to keep up the trickle of goodies to hopefully maintain momentum. The drama is airing on Mon-Tues after Glamorous Temptation wraps up so won’t be landing in the crowded competitive time slot that is Wed-Thurs where Descendants of the … Continue reading →
A new year doesn’t mean only doing new things, there’s still plenty of reason to take a break for a nostalgic reunion. At the recent SETTV banquet awards, a few of my fave and fond Taiwan drama pairings made time to take pictures together to commemorate the happy encounter. There’s Lego Lee and Kirsten Jen, the popular leads of In a … Continue reading →
The preview is out for upcoming OCN drama Neighborhood Hero, the comeback drama for PD Kwak Jung Hwan after his epic fail that was Basketball, and also the comeback drama for K-actor Park Shi Hoo after his accused rape scandal nearly two years ago. I’m not quite ready to welcome Park Shi Hoo’s onscreen return but it’s happening no matter … Continue reading →
Casting rumor say whut? I swear this is not some one off rumor and is instead being reported by various media outlets, so it’s probably levels above fan service but still way too impossible to pull off for me to think it’ll end up happening, even if it’s really being discussed. The world might be getting three Bins for the … Continue reading →
Rainie Yang isn’t just the cutest pocket-sized idol ever, she’s also now earned her stripes as one of the most loyal and generous of entertainer friends. She surprised good friend Cyndi Wang this at at the press conference for Cyndi’s upcoming 2016 World Tour. That Taichung crowd is still going strong and both Cyndi and Rainie have admitted that they … Continue reading →
I think TW-drama Marry Me or Not is one of the best shows I’ve watched all year, from any country. It’s nice to see the drama getting traction both domestically and overseas, and now the show is getting air time in Japan as the two leads jetted over there for a press conference plus fan meeting. Roy Qiu and Alice … Continue reading →
When it rains it apparently pours Yoo Seung Ho, or at least it seems that way in the K-ent weather system. This past week dropped two sets of drama script reading stills both featuring Yoo Seung Ho, he’s the male lead in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Remember, as well as the male lead in cable network MBC Every1‘s Imaginary Cat. … Continue reading →
I feel like the discussion over visuals can be such a potential landmine. Unless the approach is tongue-in-cheek, any attempts to fatten up or uglify drama leads inevitably leads to some sort of comment backlash. I’ll try hard not to offend anyone when I discuss the recently released new stills from upcoming KBS drama Oh My Venus that show a … Continue reading →
It’s so good to see Roy Qiu back in the entertainment spotlight, though he didn’t actually take a hiatus for the last two years but it certainly felt like it based on how low key he was. It’s a rather odd and ultimately inconsequential reason for his staying out of the limelight even as he’s filmed movies and dramas this … Continue reading →
