Last weekend was a big new arrival in K-drama land with Castaway Diva premiering on tvN, following Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun and with the return of Park Eun Bin after her career elevating hit Extraordinary Attorney Woo last year. I was swamped so haven’t checked it out yet but this is a much watch for me not just … Continue reading →
I think female lead centric may be still inadequate as this upcoming period drama is simply female centric as there are tons of strong supporting actresses cast as well. Filming is about to start for post WW2 period drama Jeong Nyeon adapted from a webtoon and starring Kim Tae Ri in the titular role. She recently debuted a striking shorn … Continue reading →
The two biggest losers in C-ent this month of October 2023 has to be Angelababy and to a smaller degree Zhang Jia Ni after the two ladies went to the Parisian cabaret show Crazy Horse for the much buzzed about guest starring turn by Blackpink‘s Lisa. Zhang Jia Ni is a C-list supporting actress so she just has to lay … Continue reading →
So this is kinda a cute sounding drama and a pretty good casting of the two leads based on the character description. C-ent has Xu Kai and Tian Xi Wei paired up for a fantasy romance demon-hunting period C-drama called Zi Ye Gui (子夜归) which translates as Midnight Hour Return. It’s adapted from a novel called Lady Mei’s Husband Pampering … Continue reading →
A big congrats to K-actress Cha Chung Hwa for her big day this weekend, she got married in Seoul in a non-public wedding to her financier husband after years of dating. Her agency released solo pictures or ones with her non-star hubby obscured and the occasion was full blown wedding ornate which she pulled off. She went for a Grace … Continue reading →
I wish people would really think about the consequences before doing something, in South Korea doing drugs remains not just illegal but morally unacceptable to the majority of the populace. So for K-stars to see others brought low and still do it thinking they won’t be caught is such a fallacy of thinking to me. Or perhaps I’m just wildly … Continue reading →
I actually think it’s a lot harder to play a nice male lead and make him interesting than to do the archetypal bad boy lover which usually comes across as more exciting onscreen. To which I mean Jing in Love You Forever may be the sweet constant but bad boy Xiang Liu is the X-factor. Kudos to Deng Wei for … Continue reading →
Talk about making an entrance, the first poster for streaming drama Death’s Game (Yi Jae Must Die) is impactful and memorable heck. This drama is like the death version of The Beauty Inside, with Park So Dam as Death putting suicidal and depressed Seo In Guk through surviving death over and over again in different lives so there will be … Continue reading →
Another C-drama got cast and will kick off filming, it’s called Seven Night Snow (七夜雪) and is adapted from a same title novel. The leads are Zeng Shun Xi and Li Qin and this is a fresh pairing and also two stars who can act. Unfortunately for me neither engage my attention but a good story and chemistry can change … Continue reading →
The K-drama Tell Me That You Love Me is on its way to the small screen nearly 30 years after the original J-dorama Aishiteiru to Ittekure came out with the quiet introspective love story with a deaf male lead. The remake stars the very good looking Jung Woo Sung and Shin Hyun Bin as the leads and this week the … Continue reading →
So I expect this drama to have tons of male actor names associated with it but this one makes sense. C-ent insiders are saying Zhang Ling He and his side has signed an interest commitment as the male lead opposite Dilraba Dilmurat in her upcoming fantasy life jumping revenge drama Wan Zha Chao Huang. It will apparently have one main … Continue reading →
So this is starting to have overlap with the Yoo Ah In drug case, in that a doctor of all people is involved with the supplying of illegal drugs. In the police investigation into Lee Seon Kyun‘s drug use scandal, it’s now involved G-Dragon also using drugs and under investigation, and police have announced that one person in the entire … Continue reading →
I’m normally okay with preemptions these days since it’s been awhile since a K-drama got me addicted but I’m thisclose to be super addicted to MBC weekly rom-com A Good Day to be a Dog and this week’s unexpected non-airing of episode 4 hit me like ice cold water. I need my doggie couple and the obligatory cuteness of doggie … Continue reading →
