I’m ready for whatever each has in store for 2023 and Lee Se Young has just … Continue reading →
I totally believe celebs should be afforded their privacy when they are off the clock away from official events but who hasn’t glimpsed a star in the wild and snapped a secret picture to keep. The issue with social media is those once secret pictures from pre-digital days are now easy to share and it’s unrealistic for any public figure … Continue reading →
I thought there were a lot of poised elements in the first half of The Glory, namely characters and plot elements whether flashback or present that may seen random or we don’t pay much attention to but will be super important in the second half. I find Lee Do Hyun‘s character like that, he seemed like he was in his … Continue reading →

This is definitely a great time for K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk to enlist, what with a scandal last year on bullying allegations so a step away is best for his career long term.

The title of the C-drama couldn’t be more apt and a big kudos to the production and cast of modern police and crime thriller The Knockout for being the first hit of 2023.
