I didn’t recognize his name but seeing his picture I immediately remembered him as the creepy and crazy step brother in Gold Spoon. … Continue reading →
Since Bai Lu’s drama Story of Kunning Palace looks indefinitely delayed, joining the ranks of over a dozen or more high profile C-dramas in the last 7 years or so to get shelved for one reason or another, she might as well keep filming.

After K-drama land’s wildest screenwriter Im Sung Han went on a viewer brain cell destroying rampage in the early 2010’s writing stupider and stupider dramas culminating in the Princess Aurora bloodbath following by the Apgujeong Midnight Sun controversy and her abrupt retirement, she took a 6 year break and has come back to major success with Marriage Lyrics and Divorce … Continue reading →
