Oh this is so dumb and I hope it doesn’t lead to the remainder of this super entertaining drama getting weird end scenes. The Double has been airing on a fast clip and in just one week exceeded all expectations in terms of viewership and reviews. It’s well made, well acted, and just so darn satisfying to watch the good … Continue reading →
We finally see the first K-drama in June start picking up momentum and it’s SBS Fri-Sat police thriller Connection starring Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do. The first episode got 5.7% ratings and has only gone up each episode until the most recent episode 6 with 9.4%. It’s on track to break double digits which would be fantastic as the … Continue reading →
Oh how things change, and yet stay the same. I am loving The Double greatly and for the first time a performance and character by Wu Jin Yan, though by all accounts she rocketed to stardom 6 years ago in Story of Yanxi Palace in precisely the same playbook – cunning and resourceful woman navigating treacherous waters while plotting revenge. … Continue reading →
So my little bae Dylan Wang has been picky recently with his projects so he doesn’t have a lot on deck, in the pocket there is the finished period drama Guardians of the Dafeng coming out this fall and he’s filming the modern police drama Light to the Night right now. So it perked me up to hear that he’s … Continue reading →
Hahaha, omg sorry but this article is starting to veer into absurd hyperbole territory. It’s been all of two months since Lovely Runner aired and finished and male lead Byun Woo Seok is legit the breakout star of the drama and having the biggest career moment of his life. All great! He’s off right now for his sold out June … Continue reading →
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 →
