It’s wild that I’m typing out next month as January 2026 already, another year’s flown right by. It’s been a mixed bag in drama land for me this year but I’m always keeping my hopes for as I hear about promising future dramas on deck. A new C-drama was supposed to have kicked off filming this month in December 2025 … Continue reading →
This was one fasting moving reveal to resolution, and I’ve been watching entertainment news for too long to wonder if there was more to the story. K-actor Jo Jin Woong announced that he will retire from his entertainment career, in a statement taking responsibility for any transgressions from his juvenile days that recently came to light. Dispatch revealed earlier this … Continue reading →

So props to tabloid Dispatch for dropping a major news expose to kick off this weekend. Dispatch revealed that veteran K-actor Jo Jin Woong, with over forty movies under his belt and a dozen K-dramas most famously Signal, was actually a juvenile offender that escaped his past by changing his name (to his father’s name) after the resolution of his … Continue reading →
I feel like Dylan Wang fans were trying to manifest this but alas the power of fandom to effect casting decisions isn’t nearly as common as the C-fans like to believe it to be. Last month there was movement on the C-drama adaptation of novel The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage with new talks that the leads would be Dylan … Continue reading →

C-actor Fu Xing Bo was tapped earlier this year to replace cancelled male lead Deng Lun, with him filming his scenes against a green screen and will be AI-faceswapped into the … Continue reading →
C-drama Love and Crown feels like if a group of middle schoolers played Mad Libs and then made a drama out of it. Reportedly the script was written/rewritten/unwritten as filming went along and it certainly delivered on that foundation. The ending this week, which I along with any viewer watching expected to be bad, actually outdid itself on just how … Continue reading →
This is an interesting set up and backdrop for a K-drama healing romance. Cable network ENA has confirmed the 2026 K-drama Love Doctor with leads Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo and since it’s so late in the year my guess is the drama will arrive spring or summer of next year. The leads were in discussion last month … Continue reading →

She was already getting female lead roles but that drama moved her up to top billing in female character centric dramas with the right male lead actors cast. After The Glory finished airing she was cast in the … Continue reading →

I would love to take poll and find out when other viewers dropped Love and Crown. I dropped at episode 22 and when I checked back this week I realized it has 35-episodes total and I wonder if others have the fortitude and tenacity to watch it all. I was genuinely worried about brain damage so had to quit but … Continue reading →
Since she is already Japan’s biggest pop star for three decades running its hard to give her more accolades and props and yet she still impresses in her professionalism and perseverance.
