So iQiyi decided to roll one well received C-drama Story of Kunning Palace into another anticipated drama A Journey to Love and has now hit the double jacket. I just finished Wonderland of Love and was planning to finally start Kunning Palace but decided to sneak a peek at A Journey to Love and now I’m a goner. This drama … Continue reading →
I still find it jarring to see K-actor Lee Seon Kyun with K-pop star G-Dragon in the same frame and in the same news articles. The two have been under investigation for illegal drug use for the last two months since news broke of Lee Seon Kyun being blackmailed for illegal drug use leading to a police investigation. The latest … Continue reading →
When Death comes calling one can never hide, but for the upcoming K-drama Death’s Game the male lead goes looking for his own death and the are no takes-back-sies. The upcoming dark and morally ambiguous K-drama starring Park So Dam and Seo In Guk also boasts an insane number of famous guest stars playing the various lives that Seo In … Continue reading →
So last week was Thanksgiving in the US and as expected the amount of food consumed was pants splitting. It feels the same with the amount of dramas consumed because there are so many drams premiering recently that I can barely keep but have FOMO and want to watch them all. iQiyi decided to follow up Story of Kunning Palace … Continue reading →
This past weekend’s iQiyi Scream Awards was basically a popularity contest of the current tableau of high profile mixed with rising stars. There were a lot of liuliangs stars there but it’s usually a pissing contest of who is more popular or has more clout than the other among fandoms. I did get curious and checked out what industry insiders … Continue reading →
This past weekend the hit jTBC weekend drama Strong Girl Nam Soon ended and with a new ratings high of over 10%, putting itself in the same storied list of top rated cable dramas on the network. It was the second installment of the same premise story of a teeny tiny girl with superhuman strength following Strong Girl Bong Soon … Continue reading →
So I hear that Go Back Couple is one of those underrated and recommended faves from K-drama watchers but it’s still parked on my growing list of dramas I need to go back and watch (pun intended). Now leads Jang Nara and Son Ho Jun are reuniting in a new TV Chosun drama My Happy Ending and seeing the posters … Continue reading →
This is like the tamest wardrobe malfunction ever and rather cutely handled by the star in question and the considerate hosts. K-actress Ahn Eun Jin was up for Best New Actress at this weekend’s film industry only 2023 Blue Dragon Awards and she looked sleek in a strapless white encrusted column gown until she had a little wardrobe malfunction on … Continue reading →
It’s weird to use such a bland description as “good” or “decent” to describe something without it sounding like an insult but for C-drama Wonderland of Love within the context of the period C-dramas this is a genuine compliment. I watched this drama starring Xu Kai and Jing Tian for the last 3 weeks without any desire to drop it … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2023 iQiyi Scream Awards held in Macau and the young and pretty C-stars were out in attendance. This was a streaming platform event so the winners isn’t anything more that the platform paid to do their productions or will be doing one so it was more a social event than anything. I’m there for the C-actress … Continue reading →
This is an interesting drama to dissect because there are clearly so much elements at play. Modern workplace romance C-drama Only for Love with Bai Lu and Dylan Wang finished airing this week and a happy ending did nothing to help this drama elevate it’s uniformly bad reviews. I think even Dylan fans just stayed quiet because trying to compliment … Continue reading →
So this weekend it’s jam packed in K-drama land there is literally too many interesting dramas all airing at the same time so pick away at what strikes your fancy. SBS premiered My Demon in the Fri-Sat time slot and the opening ratings are 4.5% dropping the next night to 3.4%. This drama was never about ratings but more whether … Continue reading →
So it’s 13 years in jail and then expulsion for the country afterwards for former C-actor and top star Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu). I don’t think I’ve seen a C-star fall from this high to this low but at least it gives the impression that the Chinese government when it wants to will mete out this level of punishment … Continue reading →
