Well you know C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat is insanely popular to the point of influential when her magazine post can spawn a trend. She’s in the recent issue of L’Officiel magazine sporting silver locks and wings in what is being called an angel pictorial. In a few shots she’s squatting but on tippy toes with her arms balancing on the ground … Continue reading →
The first episode of newly premiered tvN weekend drama Queen of Tears was good, I was intrigued, but episode 2 turned that soft positive reception to raging love and obsession in ways I could not have even anticipated. This is not just a love story, this is a story about love, hate, power, disparity, miscommunication, and above all else hope. … Continue reading →

When I heard the male lead names for the upcoming C-drama Noble Lady (Gui Nu 贵女) I was like “who’s that?” so don’t feel bad not knowing him.

I really like how Dylan Wang and his agency is mapping out his career, including attending this year’s 2024 NBA All-Star game and playing in the celeb game. He loves the NBA and is really so charming and earnest on ever big stages. This week C-ent casting says his agency is working hard to get him a supporting role in … Continue reading →

Awwwww, I love this cameo reunion and it’s also an inversion of their prior roles. Award winning chameleon actor Oh Jung Se will be making a guest appearance in this weekend’s tvN drama Queen of Tears which will reunite him with his former onscreen costar Kim Soo Hyun.

I had to double check the date after hearing this news, it is indeed the year 2024 and not 2004. Twenty years ago it would absolutely be the norm for K-pop stars to apologize to their fans for their personal lives but one would imagine in this day and age this groveling would not exist. Unfortunately for Karina of Aespa, … Continue reading →
So it’s a relief that this cast for the C-drama Kill My Sins is basically solid across the board and has no problematic stars in the mix. Now the drama just has to be actually good and it’ll be one of those watches that doesn’t come with baggage. Kill My Sins kicked off filming this week with leads Liu Shi … Continue reading →
Okay, I’m old enough to remember when this very idea was done before and how it rocketed a certain actor to stratospheric heights. Cue Stephen Chow in the eternal classic that is HK-movie Fight Back to School and we all just want to see an elite cop pretending to be a high school student don’t we.
