K-actress Lee Bo Young and her husband actor Ji Sung have basically switched off dramas during their nearly ten year long marriage, when he does one she’s on hiatus with their kids and vice-versa. She’s currently slaying the ratings in jTBC weekend drama Agency but it appears she’s going to keep the momentum as she’s signed on for TVING drama … Continue reading →
The K-drama remake of Goong (Princess Hours) which has been discussed for a new years now is for sure a go this year, with confirmed production in 2024. Perhaps it’s not a remake but another adaptation of the source manhwa itself so there definitely is room to do something unique rather than a beat-for-beat but updated for this current gen … Continue reading →
Well my article on the near collapse of three of the four leads in Sungkyunkwan Scandal was prescient by a few days considering some have pointed out that Park Min Young was merely scandal by association for dating an alleged fraudster. Today K-ent is reporting that Park Min Young herself was under investigation for involvement in his financial crimes case … Continue reading →
This is like getting called out by the school principal, embarrassing as heck but whether there are broader implications it’s not clear yet. This past weekend the Chinese Central Television official website published an article by a news reporter discussing the scourge of young actors who are “The Hopeless Illiterate” after that term started trending. The trend started due to … Continue reading →
Full disclosure, I watched the first episode of Kokdu: Season of Deity three weeks ago and HATED it. Like, I went in with optimistic expectations and was supremely underwhelmed by the set up and put off by the bad editing. So if the drama got better I wasn’t around to see it but the ratings have definitely taken an road … Continue reading →
Welp, Ah Se’s reputation just went into the gutter but it will need to be seen if this is an unforgivable (to C-netizens and Chinese moral police) transgression or just the the garden variety you’ve been a bad boy living up your playboy life type of tsk tsk thing. This past weekend C-ent was lit up with a bombshell gossip … Continue reading →
Those of us who love Kim Yoo Jung are just enchanted by her natural acting, even as a kid she was just a laugh, anger, cry on cue organically of an actress. I don’t think she’s changed over her nearly two decades in the industry but adult roles are much harder to find good fits and solid storylines so her … Continue reading →
The audience love for Crash Course in Romance continues and the more I watch the more the things I love about it outweigh the few that I don’t. There was emotional breakthroughs for both leads, candid conversations, and even a drunken kiss that felt so sweetly orchestrated, this rom-com is doing wonders for reminding viewers that not all K-drama romance … Continue reading →
This is so been there done that in C-ent, the moment a scandal breaks the star is dropped like a hot potato by brands AND on the hook thereafter for penalties stemming from breach of contract with the image and morality clause. You can question the fairness of such a clause but in contracts when one party pays for something … Continue reading →
Well this is an mighty strange casting pair but who knows, stranger things have worked. A new sageuk drama is being prepped titled Flower that Blooms at Night and late last year was reported to be starring Honey Lee in her first acting project after having a baby. Now her male lead has been cast with young rising actor Lee … Continue reading →
OMG, it’s been a LOOOOOONG time since I remember watching a K-drama as headdesk frustrating as this one. The Interest of Love wasn’t bad per se, it was just a story with four awful leads acting like they were emotionally blind and walking into walls and each other the entire time when everyone could just open their eyes like normal … Continue reading →
I thought Sungkyunkwan Scandal was basically un-re-watchable after the Park Yoochun toilet scandal, and even more so with his drug arrest and myriad additional subsequent scandals after. But now K-netizens are saying its unfathomable levels of un-re-watchable with only one remaining non-scandal ridden star among the four leads namely Song Joong Ki. With Yoo Ah In‘s propofol investigation and Park … Continue reading →
There are new stills out for C-drama A Journey to Love and it’s all the ladies but I’m not complaining! Starring Liu Shi Shi in her first drama in a few years and even better has a male lead Liu Yu Ning that I’m actually intrigued to watch due to his improvement from project to project. The stills of the … Continue reading →
