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 →

So my personal best slay at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with the Korean and Chinese stars is currently K-actress Han So Hee.
