Society demands success after success, its never enough to rest on laurels so it makes the professional life of an actress or actor always chasing the next hit. But for many top stars it should never be forgotten how many successes are under the belt and two of South Korea’s top 40-something same gen actresses made a rare brand public … Continue reading →
I feel like the shock and awe of finding out top K-stars are dating/broke up wears off much faster nowadays compared to a decade ago when stars became more and more comfortably dating in public. News of top stars Lee Jong Seok and IU dating feels like so long ago but it’s actually just a few months and I’m still … Continue reading →
The second season of The Uncanny Counter is coming with the really wordy title The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch. It was the highest rated series on smaller cable network OCN and for the second season will move to the biggest cable network tvN which has confirmed broadcast for the second half of 2023. The news was met with split … Continue reading →
It’s hitting the midway point for xianxia C-drama Till the End of the Moon and so far I’m still entertained but it’s not going to become my fave xianxia drama of all time. Luo Yun Xi is fantastic despite his less than imposing physical stature, onscreen he’s commanding a strong presence and that’s all that matters. Bai Lu is radiant … Continue reading →
For the upcoming 2023 Baeksang Awards held next week, the K-drama race for Best Actor is really Lee Sung Min‘s to lose with maybe dark horse Son Seok Gu, and Best Actress is a two way slog between Park Eun Bin and Song Hye Kyo. But for the Best Supporting Actor and Actress categories, pundits are saying it’s a genuine … Continue reading →
Oh man this sounds potentially amazingly entertaining. A new K-drama is coming that will make K-actress Choi Ji Woo‘s return to acting after a few year’s hiatus post marriage and having a baby, though she had a few cameos. The drama is called Double Spy and will costar Kim Myung Min, with the two playing ex-lovers who join forces to … Continue reading →
What a terrible news to hear today and no matter that this has happened before it’s always so heartbreaking. Today K-ent has lost another music star as K-pop boy group Astro member Moon Bin was found deceased in his home. I only know of Astro as member Cha Eun Woo’s group since he’s acting a lot but the other members … Continue reading →
I thought maybe Ask the Stars would air in 2023 but it’s looking like 2024, and hopefully not as long as 2025. The drama production confirmed this week that it wrapped filming on April 12th and I was floored because I swear this drama has been filming since forever and I thought it wrapped already. So it took a good … Continue reading →
A fresh new sageuk and pairing popped up today to help over the midweek hump. K-ent is reporting that Lee Jae Wook and Jo Boa are in talks to lead a new sageuk drama titled Swallowing Gold (literal) adapted from the same name novel. Lee Jae Wook is the son of a rich merchant wife who disappears as a child … Continue reading →
Oh this is a great cameo and I wish both young leads from the first season would do the cameo together. Yoo Yeon Seok will be returning to the hospital with a cameo in the upcoming Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3, reprising his role from the first season. No word on Seo Hyun Jin but I just love when both … Continue reading →
There is absolutely nothing wrong or problematic about modern sports romance C-drama Nothing But You but then there was also nothing gripping and exciting about it. It felt very hygge is you asked me to ascribe a mood to it, warm and cozy. The drama had Zhou Yu Tong as the older competent career woman falling for college aged hot … Continue reading →
So it appears K-ent is not ready for Kim Sun Ho to come back in a romance sageuk after the change in casting earlier this year, but his already filmed gritty K-movie will be a good test of whether Chungmuro is the right next step. The movie was originally called Sad Tropics but will be titled The Childe in English … Continue reading →
Of all the K-dramas to adapt, I feel like C-ent is getting on the wrong side of doing trendy versus substantive. This week has confirmed the C-drama remake of sageuk youth drama Hwarang which was a disappointment in both production and ratings but does have the record of most good looking flower boy stars in one drama. C-netizens are not … Continue reading →
