Whomever is in charge of the media release of C-drama Immortality is the best kind of genius or troll. How else to explain the first release of a new still in over a year and the context is where Chen Fei Yu is choking a bloodied and chained up Luo Yun Xi mwahaha. This is straight up geared to to … Continue reading →
I can only image how low this drama’s Douban ratings and lack of any buzz would be without leads Dylan Wang and Bai Lu starring in it. I noped out of Only for Love on the early side as even copious FF-ing and staring at Dylan did not help in any way to make it worth wasting my time on. … Continue reading →
The recent deluge of C-drama premieres has its usual winners, losers, and just coasting through participants. A clear winner is C-actor Wang Xing Yue, who went from the everyone hates him male lead in Scent of Time to everyone loves him second male lead in Story of Kunning Palace, with the two dramas basically airing back-to-back thanks to scheduling issues … Continue reading →
C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat has earned her spot on the top of the food chain in her generation so even an off year like 2023 feels like it will have no impact on her popularity or marketability. But this year really has been meh for her projects with The Legend of Anle compared to 2022 when she had The Blue Whisper … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching recently finished tvN Mon-Tues drama Twinkling Watermelon since it premiered and it has been one of the most consistently satisfying K-dramas in recent memory. Starring Ryeo Un, Choi Hyun Wook, Seol In Ah, and Shin Eun Soo, the drama is like a reverse Hello, Me! time travel with the son going back to the past to meet … Continue reading →
So neither a confirmation or a denial speaks volumes haha and this one fits the bill. This weekend came the rumor that TW-actress Janine Chang, one of the remaining actresses of her gen that is still single, will soon joined the married contingent. The rumor is that she is marrying Malaysian-Chinese director Sam Quah (Ke Wen Li) who is best … Continue reading →
With the recent breakup of Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol in South Korea entertainment, C-ent young couple Guan Xiaotong and Luhan remain under scrutiny for the state of their relationship. They started dating in 2017 during the height of his fame and her rise but now the star power can switched between them. When an established C-ent gossiper was asked … Continue reading →
If I were the crew of MBC drama My Dearest I wouldn’t want a wrap party I would want to sleep for 3 days straight and get paid due overtime for the crazy filming conditions. This weekend Saturday night is the airing of the final episode of My Dearest and from the SNS posts of the cast it was filming … Continue reading →
This is such a weird (and terribly sad if true) story and tangentially related to the topic of media and fan intrusion into the lives of celebrities its worth a post. Figure skating world legend and Japanese sports superstar Yuzuru Hanyu (who may be second only to Shohei Ohtani for how globally famous he is) has announced that he is … Continue reading →
So I don’t check out the so-called booting ceremonies a lot, when a C-drama kicks off filming with prayers and red envelopes for good luck. But is it always so coordinated haha, because the cast and crew of Tang dynasty period drama The Legend of Jewelry were all wearing matching red jackets for the cast and blue jackets for the … Continue reading →
So this was a bit earlier in the year around summer time I recall but C-actress Dilraba Dilmurat got in the crosshairs of nitpicky C-netizens for her signature gesture that once you see it you know she’s going to do it at some point during an event. Reba puts her hand over her chest like she’s trying to prevent a … Continue reading →
I saw these new stills just after I finished watching The Marvels and it was exactly the eye bleach I needed to erase the image of Park Seo Joon as Prince Yan from my brain forever. Netflix released a batch of new drama stills for upcoming period creature feature series Gyeongseong Creature that sees Park Seo Joon and Han So … Continue reading →
The reshoot in order to air period drama The Golden Hairpin will happen, it’s a matter of when and who not if. As an S+ budget drama there is just too much money sunk in to let it never air so earlier this year it was reported that Lin Geng Xin would be the replacement male lead for Wu Yi … Continue reading →
