The cancellations in C-ent have been always been fast and furious and such is the price of promoting in an industry that demands adherence to certain norms. C-actor Zhang Zhe Han‘s complete career destruction has been one of those that is either justified or totally blown out of proportion. It’s clear he has no chance of coming back in the … Continue reading →
When we watch dramas and it seems so unnecessarily complicated for two people to getogether and in real life someone actually gets together let’s just be happy for them. K-ent has another major wedding announcement to kick off February, with Lee Seung Gi announcing that he’s tying the knot with long time girlfriend Lee Da In. The couple have gone … Continue reading →
So this was a major trending topic on C-ent last week, but it’s kinda already happened before type of news in that similar callouts have happened before with this actor yet he’s still getting big gigs. Last week Wang Yibo attended a press conference with the director for the movie Hidden Blade where he costars with acting legend Tony Leung. … Continue reading →
So this official promo drop came from nowhere so I didn’t see it until a few days later but no fret here it is, the first posters and stills for the upcoming xianxia C-drama The Last Immortal (Hidden Gods). Starring Zhao Lu Si and Wang An Yu, the drama is a sequel of sorts to Ancient Love Poetry which starred … Continue reading →
Now midway through airing, tvN weekend rom-com Crash Course on Romance is a winner through and through. It’s just a good drama, but from a long time K-drama viewer I think the drama is made better thanks to Jung Kyung Ho‘s sparkling performance as the beta male lead with boatloads of emotional hangups but also could be a better “romance” … Continue reading →
Paris in winter is definitely dreamy especially for the visitor that can pick the best stuff for a short curated sojourn.

I have high hopes for tvN‘s next Mon-Tues drama, the sageuk Our Blooming Youth, simply with the soon to end The Interest of Love I’ll need another weekday drama to follow along with. The routine is comforting for me as it marks the passage of time with a story that develops in a way I want to find out how … Continue reading →
It’s a slow news week in C-ent but anything to do with C-actor Wang Yibo gets netizens attention.

It’s the second to last week airing of The Interest of Love, with episodes 13 and 14 like expecting to watch a horror movie through hands over the eyes but with tiny slits to peek through. Thankfully it wasn’t that painful and actually had a lot of breakthroughs. Mi Kyung finally accepted how toxic her rich family was and how … Continue reading →
If I haven’t watched Jung Kyung Ho stretch his acting (and genre) chops so much in his nearly two decade long career I would absolutely believe that he is always acting as himself, the perfect beta male lead. It started with Smile, You as his breakout drama and has continued off and on until now it’s back in the spotlight … Continue reading →

I’ve long since put Love by Law (The Law Cafe) in the rear view mirror and neither leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young have come out worse for wear with, I just chalk it up to wrong roles in a lackluster story.
