So I was super busy and jetlagged this past week and totally overlooked the premiere of new tvN Mon-Tues sageuk drama The Secret Romantic Guest House. No worries, more to binge this weekend and catch up on. Starring Shin Ye Eun, Ryeo Un, Kang Hoon, and Jang Gun Joo, it’s a court conspiracy plus youth sageuk which is now its … Continue reading →
So this is a brilliant way to promote the upcoming movie Killing Romance, but linking it to another great project and making hilariously over-the-top statements. Much as the movie looks, super wild and wacky. Killing Romance stars Lee Seon Kyun and Honey Lee in what looks like a K-version of a Stephen Chow classic movie from the 90’s, with likely … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2022 Weibo Night in China, weird that it takes place in 2023 but the 2022 means it covers dramas and movies from last year. The popular vote for Weibo King and Queen was trending young but the award is also decided with decision input from the hosting body so in the end it was a blast … Continue reading →
So I checked out the recently premiered modern romance drama Road Home (Gui Lu) because it’s an adaptation of the same name novel by writer Mo Bao Fei Bao, who has another novel being adapted right now Into the Storm with Wu Lei and Zhao Jin Mai. Road Home stars Jing Bo Ran as a military explosives expert with a … Continue reading →
I recommend ALL the stars of The Glory take advantage of the current publicity and buzz around their hit drama and capitalize on it. Everyone deserves it for contributing to making the entire drama so compelling, and antagonist Lim Ji Yeon absolutely carved out her own perch of being so unredeemably awful as weather caster and rich bitch Park Yeon … Continue reading →
I loved 18 Again and Hello, Me! and this one sounds right up the same alley. The do-over or second chance drama especially if it’s about familial ties just tugs at my heartstrings, it’s deeper and more poignant than just lovers and romantic love and also gives veterans and youngsters both equal chance to shine. Upcoming jTBC drama The Good … Continue reading →
The success of Extraordinary Attorney Woo has put tiny cable network ENA on the map but that level hasn’t carried over to subsequent dramas like Gaus Electronics or Love is for Suckers and currently airing Delivery Man. It’s hard to emulate that level of ratings and buzz but the network does need to produce more compelling dramas and perhaps the … Continue reading →
Okay, the posters for this drama look hella awesome and it may just be the first drama of Yu Shu Xin (Esther Yu) that I can stomach watching her in. The period C-drama My Journey to You (Chinese title 云之羽 which means Cloud Wing) just dropped official character posters that are surprisingly captivating probably because I was not expecting this … Continue reading →
The K-ent reporter that wrote about how Lee Do Hyun doesn’t do promotions for his dramas since he didn’t do any post-drama interviews in recent years hit publish a few days too early because this week Lee Do Hyun is in fact doing promos for The Glory and will guest star in the variety show Yoo’s Quiz on the Block … Continue reading →
It’s been a few months since the end of hit jTBC drama Reborn Rich and one of the reasons for its success is the incredible cast from Lee Sung Min and Song Joong Ki down to every single chaebol family member. Recently K-netizens posted about an alterna-version of RR if it was a daily K-drama and here are those frequent … Continue reading →
Currently airing tvN Mon-Tues sageuk Our Blooming Youth isn’t doing so hot in ratings or buzz but the next drama might be the right genre to bring in more viewers. Family: The Unbreakable Bond stars Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara in their third full length drama together spanning three decades so quite a feat, but nothing compared to Hyukkie playing … Continue reading →
Daaaaaang, even my heart is fluttering just watching Wu Lei pile on his best younger man ardently pursuing the woman of his dreams full court press in the just dropped new trailer for sports romance C-drama Nothing But You. The drama has set the premiere date for next week on March 27th and dropped a new preview where Wu Lei … Continue reading →
I wish Yoo Ah In‘s drug use scandal and investigation only impacted him but alas there is such collateral damage with it. He had multiple movies and dramas already filmed scheduled to be released and as such the production companies have to decide how to salvage the situation. Netflix for Hellbound 2 recast him with Kim Sung Cheol since filming … Continue reading →
