So with the summer coming to a close it appears iQiyi wants to squeeze in one more high profile C-drama and it’s reportedly going to be My Journey to You (The Wing of Clouds) with Zhang Ling He and Yu Shu Xin (Esther Yu). I’m first loling that Zhang Ling He will see this drama air before his Story of … Continue reading →
Call me pleasantly surprised that the premiere weekend of jTBC drama Behind Your Touch did not end in flaming from viewers over the butt touching mind reading ability conceit. Reviews are positive though acknowledging the humor is really slapstick and throwback but as long as viewers enjoy that tone and so far nothing is offensive then the production really needs … Continue reading →
I’ve been checked out of weekend K-dramas for years but still feel the need to follow along with what’s next because you never know when one will toddle along and hook me. Currently airing KBS weekend drama The Real Has Come has been really mediocre from all accounts but the next one has one secret weekend weapon in female lead … Continue reading →
I always love a happy filming wrap party for a cast of a drama that is doing well. tvN Mon-Tues drama My Lovely Liar (Useless Lies) started off decently and has increased in ratings and buzz, so having the cast attending the filming wrap party this week is a celebration on top of a celebration. Leads Kim So Hyun, Minhyun, … Continue reading →
It’s so great that Im Shi Wan continues to be one of the most diverse and versatile actors of his generation, and still astonishing to take in since he started off as an idol. He has a Coupang Play drama coming out soon called Boyhood with female lead Lee Sun Bin and supporting stars Lee Si Woo and Kang Hye … Continue reading →
With Lost You Forever Part 1 ending its 39-episode run this week, it’s time for the gradual decompression as a fan who loved the drama adaptation to take account of the good and the bad. That post will come but this one is solely about a standard public matrix of C-drama viewer judgment. The Douban ratings are out and LYF … Continue reading →
So Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun has been releasing stills since it started filming last year in 2022 so seeing grown up new male lead Lee Jun Ki in character isn’t anything new. What is new with this weeks new stills is that it looks like the drama is showing him as both scrappy rebel fighter Eunseom and dark … Continue reading →
I’ve heard the Disney+ K-drama Moving described as more similar to a US show with the ensemble cast, time spanning story, superpowers, conspiracy, and without the usual two main leads set up in K-dramas that the story centers around. That makes sense since it’s a sprawling cast and so great to have big names take on a good role even … Continue reading →
Gosh this trend and feedback makes me SO HAPPY! Recently premiered tvN Mon-Tues mystery and supernatural and romance drama My Lovely Liar (Useless Lies) got okay ratings and feedback when it premiered but has since been only on a trend up. This most recent week three episodes got new series highs of 3.017% and 3.446%, respectively, in episode 5-6. I … Continue reading →
I thought Jang Dong Gun as the main antagonist in Arthdal Chronicles was the most interesting character onscreen and also expressed the most charisma. He’s back for season 2 Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun continuing to try and rule the land and keep his grip on power. He still has that warrior king vibe looking all grungy and grouchy … Continue reading →
So K-drama Moving may just be Disney+‘s biggest hit to date but with the news that the platform will stop investing in original K-dramas may be too little too late. Since the premiere last week I’ve seen more online chatter for this drama than expected and then to hear that it’s topped the Good Data drama buzz list this week … Continue reading →
Now that C-drama Lost You Forever has finished airing Part 1 I have time and mental bandwidth to check out the recently premiered other dramas and look forward to upcoming ones. The latter most high on my list is Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun which is the direct continuation of the OG drama which aired in 2020. With a … Continue reading →
So this could be true and if so it’s two consenting adults and I also don’t want to render judgment based on the disparity in entertainment industry success level, but goodness is this gossip news just weird. A rumor spread widely through C-ent over the weekend that 60-something top actor Tony Leung has shacked up with 25-year old Cheng Xiao … Continue reading →
