Stylized poster featuring a dramatic cast.

SLOW CLAP. Seriously, slow f*cking clapping here as I just finished watching the just released final 3 episodes of Moving, the little K-drama with the superpowered heart that may have just given Disney+ a new leash on life. Sadly the drama in the US is airing on Hulu which sucks donkey balls with commercials every 5 minutes leading me to … Continue reading →

Actors posing on director's chairs, promotional poster.

So modern workplace and romance C-drama Sunshine by My Side ended recently and I feel like it’s the same with so many of Xiao Zhan‘s recent dramas – praise and positivity for his performance with no impact on his popularity but a mixed bad of complaints with the overall drama. This one got okay ratings, I actually think The Longest … Continue reading →

Ooooh, melon and behind the scenes cattiness, I love it! Melons are of course rumors so take it with a grain of salt.

It didn’t hurt the careers of director … Continue reading →

I feel like the big hammer has come down on K-actor Yoo Ah In after his drug arrest and investigation earlier this year but he hasn’t yet really felt the brunt of his criminal ways. At most he was summoned for long interrogations but an earlier request for detention was not granted by the court. This week Seoul prosecutors submitted … Continue reading →
