I feel like SARFT just went on an approval spree recently how else to explain the spate of releases in recent weeks. A new workplace drama arrives this week on February 21st titled Never Give Up but is actually the C-drama adaption of webtoon Gaus Electronics which got a K-drama version last year. This one stars Zheng Kai, Chen Yu … Continue reading →
I’ve been seeing clips of both Three Lives Three Worlds. Ten Miles Peach Blossoms and The Pillow Book on my SNS these days and it’s getting me more in the mood for Fox Spirit Matchmaker, when it does air. Fox Spirit is adapted from a very popular game and manhua series and is one of three dramas in the series … Continue reading →
It’s wild I’m talking about a genuinely well-written likeable rom-com like Crash Course on Romance maybe jumping the shark but I’m really worried it might due to a new and rather last minute subplot being introduced in episode 12. So the whole “who is the killer” story has been sprinkled through this drama well enough, not my fave since this … Continue reading →
So the chatter is on in C-ent fandom of a certain subset called danmei novels (or BL novels) that the unofficial ban on the genre is/may be lifted. Last month a period drama called A League of Nobleman aired that was based on a BL novel and had been filmed for quite some time and was part of the BL … Continue reading →
Seeing this never before seen (by me at least) picture from nearly two decades ago brings back so many memories! OMG this is like right after the Winter Sonata craze and when everyone was still at their start/peak era. A picture has been making the rounds showing five top male leads in K-ent in what looks like a boy band … Continue reading →
That felt like a quick filming for modern romance office drama Sunshine with Me or perhaps it’s just the thing called time warping. The C-drama starring Xiao Zhan and Bai Bai He released an official filming wrap BTS video last week to commemorate the completion of filming and also to start drumming up interest in which there are plenty. It’s … Continue reading →
I find producer-director Yu Zheng one of the biggest slimeballs in C-ent but he can’t be faulted here for this decision which is interesting to think about. He recently shared an interview and discussed how his actress Wu Jing Yan under his agency has not done a drama in over a year and explained that it was intentional as he … Continue reading →
K-actor Kim Sung Cheol is the youngest of the three rotating male leads in the Korean stage performance of Shakespeare in Love so he’s been the most prolific in sharing goodies with fans. It’s a bonus to see him snapping Instas with all three of his rotating Violas with Kim Yoo Jung, Chae Soo Bin, and Jung So Min in … Continue reading →
It was a good 2022 for Suzy with a well received drama Anna on Coupang Play but in 2023 she’s going back to her more youthful roots playing an idol turned college student in Lee Doona for Netflix. I saw her first still and she’s rocking that top star but also girl next door combined vibe, which is what I’m … Continue reading →
Ooooooh yes please let this be true! I feel like if a Wu Lei drama aired every six months then I would be forever satisfied with one meal while getting hungry enough when the next one arrives. I’m still thrumming from contentment with his last drama Love Like the Galaxy and here comes the rumors that his modern romance Nothing … Continue reading →
I checked out Crash Course on Romance for the promise of a genuine rom-com and of course for Jung Kyung Ho, and it’s been way better than expected with a lot due to the beautifully natural and warm acting of Jeon Do Yeon. I still have quibbles on certain aspects of whether she’s the right actress for the role but … Continue reading →
The Valentine’s Day drop of romantic OTP posters for upcoming C-dramas has released two for the xianxia drama The Last Immortal (Hidden God). Starring Zhao Lu Si and Wang An Yu, I like the color and posing for both posters and am really really glad the leads ended up being these two because they look really visually compatible.
Continue reading →The youthful scholars and their pretty young landlady have kicked off script reading for SBS sageuk Romantic Guest House (Flower Scholars Love Story). I’m guessing the vibe is similar to Secret Royal Inspector & Joy with equal measures comedy and mystery solving with a cream topping of budding love. The leads are Shin Ye Eun, Ryeo Un, Kang Hoon, and … Continue reading →
