My hats off to the MBC Fri-Sat drama Wonderful World for being a slow and sure storyteller and getting the recognition. The drama debuted with 5% ratings and the most recent episode 11 got over 11%, doubling the ratings with even room for further growth. Kim Nam Joo is a veteran actress with a track record of good drama selection … Continue reading →
Oh goodness girl, I really wish you had some wise older women in your life to give you counsel and stop you from behaving this rashly. Because this too shall pass but you’re making it so much worse. I’m talking about K-actress Han So Hee who went on another SNS statement posting before deleting it, but it’s all screencapped immediately … Continue reading →
In another sad new development in the Lee Seon Kyun investigation and suicide case, last week his elderly father was revealed to have passed away. It was of natural causes but it’s hard not to imagine the grief he must have been dealing with since Lee Seon Kyun passed away three months ago. There is just so much tragedy in … Continue reading →

Well this is certainly a different lead casting than the usual circuit of names and I’m going to keep my mind open especially with the female lead. Production has kicked off for the period C-drama Noble Lady (Gui Nu) starring Chen Du Ling and Xin Yun Lai. She’s leveling up after multiple guest starring and second female lead roles and … Continue reading →
So I think the whole fallout with C-actress Ren Min and her period visuals (or lack thereof) with last year’s xianxia C-drama The Longest Promise was after she had filmed additional period dramas. Since then I don’t believe she’s accepted another period role and looks like it’s intentionally not going to happen anymore. She’s currently in the period drama White … Continue reading →
I like Park Hyung Sik but he has so many mid K-dramas and only the occasional hit that I’m left wondering if it’s his inability to pick scripts or its himself. I totally dropped his last drama Dr. Slump with Park Shin Hye even though I liked it well enough at the beginning it just didn’t hook me and that … Continue reading →

So it wasn’t the best weekend for C-actress Zhao Lu Si but at least se wasn’t trying to play it safe. Zhao Lu Si was in Macau attending a brand CF event and ended up getting dragged through the C-netizen snarky critique circuit for her entire look.
