This drama has legs and I don’t think this is even the end of it. C-drama The Youth Memories with Xiao Zhan and Li Qin aired nearly a year ago on June 1, 2023 and was a hit in viewership but not the type of runaway buzz or insane numbers to be all that remarkable. A year later and now … Continue reading →
My relationship with procedural dramas is very season or mood dependent. When I’m in the mood I scarf up amazing works like Beyond Evil, Awaken (Night and Day), Train, and many of the really well made ones in recent years. But I haven’t been in the head space the last few months so even though the upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama … Continue reading →
While everyone is looking at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival red carpet for their favorite actress looks, two top C-actresses were instead in Rome for a brand event.

And the comparisons did come, with C-netizens saying … Continue reading →

After the whirlwind March and April in K-drama land where Queen of Tears dominated, May has quieted down with just one buzzy drama. It remains Lovely Runner with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok, nothing else in recent weeks has gotten either ratings or buzz not Atypical Family, The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, or Chief Detective 1958.

So the cancellation of C-actress Yuan Bing Yan after her tax evasion scandal is legit not a temporary one. The main reason was her fighting the charges and refusal to take responsibility after the initial issues arose and requiring the government authorities to spend extra time resolving it with her. Her fully filmed C-drama Love Never Fails with Liu Xue … Continue reading →
So my personal best slay at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with the Korean and Chinese stars is currently K-actress Han So Hee.

Currently filming romance drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Friend’s Son) could hit that sweet spot, starring two … Continue reading →
