I personally use anything over 7 as decent and worth checking out when a drama opens on Douban the crowd rating site in C-ent. Over 8 is amazing and around 6 is mediocre, and anything below that in the 5s and under is avoid at all costs. Xianxia C-drama The Last Immortal (Hidden God) wrapped its run last week and … Continue reading →
New year and the first K-drama controversy of 2024 is here.

Is it new year new face for C-actress Peng Xiao Ran, or a case of makeup and styling lending to the unrecognizable flair. The actress’ agency released a new snow scape period attire photo shoot this week, which is fairly common for actresses to do their own shoots for promos, but if her name wasn’t attached to the photos I … Continue reading →
So Netflix split the airing of K-drama Gyeongseong Creature into a two week break but it was still the same season and series, not a season 1 and season 2 situation. The goal seemed to be to mirror The Glory where the first part was such a hit it really buoyed excitement and viewership for the second half. Unfortunately this … Continue reading →
Sometimes hearing an opinion validated feels reassuring because it means at least my aesthetic assessing ability works or at least sits with the majority. But towards C-actress Yang Chao Yue there is no feeling of assurance that what appears like every single viewer who has watched her in a drama thinks she’s the worst actress in like ever. The issues … Continue reading →
So it’s a fresh pairing for upcoming SBS drama Flexx Cop, with Ahn Bo Hyun getting his top billed male lead role opposite last year’s breakout from Reborn Rich supporting actress Park Ji Hyun. The drama released posters, stills, and previews and honestly it looks good. Ahn Bo Hyun is doing the rich confident kinda douchey cop with Park Ji … Continue reading →

So it will be 4th time the charm for Wang Xing Yue in terms of getting the girl in a drama if she’s played by Bai Lu. The same agency stars have worked together three times before but she was always the female lead and he a supporting role, but their next drama will elevate him to be her male … Continue reading →
The just passed Christmas and New Year holiday block is hopefully a time to rest, relax, and recharge. But sometimes it feels like work as well to see friends and family or even traveling for vacation can be work in terms of expenses and effort. I’m just vibing that adulting is hard even when one has breaks and the doctor … Continue reading →
Man, getting to be top billed sounds great until you realize you have to find a costar that’s willing to ride shotgun and still be good enough. That’s why there is so many C-dramas that feel lopsided and why it’s harder to get that perfect mutually equal chemistry. C-actor Liu Yu Ning is coming off a hit performance and drama … Continue reading →
I think after a few well made dramas for Zhang Ling He, namely My Journey to You and Story of Kunning Palace last year and in 2022 there was Love Between Fairy and Devil, whether as supporting or as male lead he’s been in enough hits to not be considered trying hard and not having results. I say this because … Continue reading →
