They say the camera adds 10 lbs and if that’s the case then I am genuinely terrified to see what C-actress Gulinazha looks like in real life. This week the actress attended a GQ event in China and alarmed the media and netizens alike with her immensely thin physique. She’s always been skinny, very skinny even compared to other skinny … Continue reading →
So it’s a Moon kinda night at the VIP movie premiere and afterparty for the star studded sci-fi movie Wonderland starring Tang Wei, Jung Yumi, Park Bo Gum, Suzy, and Choi Woo Shik.

So the fallout has come after a week of online anger, harassment, and negative comments surrounding the nomination of C-actor Wang Yang in the Best Actor category for the Magnolia Awards for War of Faith.

Just months after C-actress Zheng Hehuizi turned a cameo in In Blossom into a career launcher from supporting to upcoming leading lady roles, now comes Yang Chao Yue to do the same again and she may succeed.

So the Chinese are massively superstitious. In the production world, the filming start ceremonies are picked for auspicious days, the prayers are for smooth filming, and the red envelopes for good tidings. That’s why it’s totally true that stars with either bad news attached or seem to be around bad things do find it harder to get cast. The opposite … Continue reading →
I’m glad to see Kim Yoo Jung heading into another new project, I was so mid on My Demon despite trying so hard to love it, ultimately the narrative lackings overcame my love for her as the lead. She’s in talks for a new K-drama called Dear X adapted from a webtoon by the PD of Goblin. It’s about an … Continue reading →
This is legit a woah and I hope he’s not peaking too fast moment for K-actor Byun Woo Seok. He’s been on a two month tear since tvN drama Lovely Runner premiered and it just wrapped up last week which means he’s now on post-drama activities all lined up, including sold out fan meetings and other ancillary promos. It’s no … Continue reading →
So Lost You Forever may just suffer the most of a hit drama getting the momentum wind sucked out of it thanks to splitting into two parts. Part 1 aired last summer and was as closed to what I had hoped for being a mega fan of the source novel. This is probably as good as it gets in terms … Continue reading →
The year is half over now that it’s June 2024 and one big name in C-drama land I’ve not yet seen out with a drama is Dylan Wang. Last year in 2023 he had three C-dramas, not to say any of those were good lol but at least there was stuff to watch. He’s usually done 2-3 per year but … Continue reading →

Why does most of any bad press for C-actor Wang Yibo always start with “his fans”. The latest brouhaha in C-ent is Wang Yibo’s fandom going berserk and publicly denigrating veteran C-actor Wang Yang, who starred in War of Faith earlier this year with Wang Yibo.
