It’s a quick progression from wedding to baby for this newlywed couple and I am thrilled they are expanding their family. Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In announced this week that they are expecting their first child together. They tied the knot earlier this year in March 2023 after a few years dating and both are in their 30s … Continue reading →
The timing and the airing schedule just looks like Netflix wants to generate another mega hit like The Glory from last year in 2022. The Glory premiered part 1 on the last day of December and then three months later part 2 continued the strong reception with a satisfying conclusion. This year the streaming platform has put the big budget … Continue reading →
The 2024 slate of K-dramas continue to bubble to the surface now that we’re at the end of 2023 and a big sageuk on deck next year will be tvN drama Sejak (meaning Spy). It’s totally a hate-love type of twisted romance with the King and the woman who tries to seduce him for revenge but ends up falling in … Continue reading →
The excitement keeps rising for me with respect to K-drama My Demon, love the characterization of the two leads and the fantasy fake marriage cohabitation trope. The drama released two new OTP posters with Kim Yoo Jung and her demon Song Kang posed as tarot cards The Devil and The Lovers. I’m more into the dark romance aspect than the … Continue reading →
While this period C-drama isn’t as buzzy as a few others on the soon-to-air watch list it’s certainly doing its part in keeping interest primed with the promos released so far. Reportedly Tencent will release Wonderland of Love in early November, the 8th to be precise based on the latest insider rumors. It’s a straight wuxia drama starring Jing Tian … Continue reading →
A modern day drama dropped today on October 30th with iQiyi premiering Rising with the Wind rather abruptly without much promotion. Starring Gong Jun, Zhong Chu Xi, and Wu Xuan Yi, I couldn’t tell when I first saw some stills of Gong Jun what era this drama was set because he looks like he stepped right out of the turn … Continue reading →
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 →
