So this drama sounds exactly like an aged down Thirty-Nine two years ago about three girlfriends nearing the cusp of 40 and their life and loves. The webtoon The Year We Turned 29 will be adapted into a drama and offers are out to Kim Hye Yoon and Joy as two of the three female leads. It’s about three besties … Continue reading →
So C-ent news this week got a jolt with the very random and frankly too long a gap confirmation that a sequel to Princess Agents is set to start production. It’s based on the source novel and picks up from that frozen lake ending scene, with female lead Chu Qiao set for revenge for the death of her beloved Yuwen … Continue reading →
I feel like a few K-actresses have nicely balanced their acting careers with their personal life progress, and Lee Yeon Hee in many ways is similar to Han Ga In. Both are known as top visuals and got very first super fast early in their careers, gotten the same “can’t really act” designation, but continue to act steadily on their … Continue reading →
With Joy of Life 2 done it’s time for a lot more C-dramas to premiere. Two that arrived at the tail of JoL2 has two very different outcomes – big budget high expectation Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact is a dud in every way from acting to chemistry to writing to directing while comparatively lower budget with less well … Continue reading →
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. Many cast members from two hit dramas The Moon Embraces the Sun and Moonlight Drawn by Clouds were there together and it made for quite a picture … Continue reading →
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. The other male lead Wang Yibo’s fandom was furious and went full blown online attack on both the production company for nominating Wang Yang and … Continue reading →
So while all the K-drama attention this spring started on Queen of Tears and after it ended moved to Lovely Runner, we now have the first buzzy hit of the start of summer. Small cable network drama Crash premiered to around 2% ratings in mid-May and 2/3rds through its run has more than doubled to 5.870%. It’s a brisk 12-episodes … Continue reading →
Tis the season for high profile guest starring in C-drama lol. 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. Yang Chao Yue has already been the leading lady of dramas but … Continue reading →
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 →
