So it was a sweep for the husband-wife duo Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin this year at the 2025 Blue Dragon Awards honoring the best in Korean film. Hyun Bin took home Best Actor for Harbin and Son … Continue reading →
Ahhhhh, and here I thought the world would never see two of the most gorgeous looking TW-stars in real life wedding outfits but the drama gods who love this reel to real romance are rewarding us fans. Roy Qiu and Tiffany Ann Hsu announced this week that they are holding a wedding ceremony later this month at the super luxe … Continue reading →
New C-drama casting alert and I can see this pairing happening for the reason that it’s a new one in the carousel of possible combos. The Youku xianxia C-drama Thriving After the Moon Falls (烛月潮生 Zhu Yue Chao Sheng) is courting C-actress Wang Chu Ran for the female lead. Male lead is currently still set on Ao Rui Peng, and … Continue reading →
So it’s been both a relatively uneventful year in K-dramas (to date) with both buzzy hits and critically acclaimed releases. I still think when When the Stars Gossip premiered on January 4th, 2025 it just jinxed the entire year lol. Anyhoo, the Joynews poll of over a hundred K-ent insiders released their picks for Best K-drama Couple and it’s none … Continue reading →
So my early verdict is that MBC drama Moon River (The Moon Flows Over the River) has just arrived like a knight in shining armor to save a lackluster 2025 year in K-drama land. This drama is amazing and like the best K-drama crack, with all the elements set up perfectly and executed beautifully. It’s best described as if The … Continue reading →
The K-drama Remarried Empress adapted from the same name webtoon is female lead centric for sure but the more interesting characters are actually the male leads. Our Empress Navier is just perfect, beautiful and wise and caring, and her only drawback is that she is bad at communicating her feelings lol. We root for her because what happened to her … Continue reading →
So the timing of this drama is solely in the hands of one person, producer Yu Zheng. He has the rights to the novel Falling Spring Night (坠落春夜 Zhui Luo Chun Ye) and the leads are his agency top stars Wu Jin Yan and Wang Xing Yue. So basically he can make the production schedule work by moving chess pieces … Continue reading →
So 2026 will kick off in January with a big budget big name production team filming a highly anticipated new romance sageuk K-drama titled Soul. The leads are confirmed to be Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, with scene-stealing supporting actress Kim Shin Rok joining them. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I expect a lot … Continue reading →
It was preview week for Disney+ on their upcoming 2026 slate of K-dramas so the first look teaser is also out for supernatural themed K-drama Delusion. It’s adapted from the same name dark webtoon and stars Suzy and Kim Sun Ho in a change of their usual bright and sunshiny image, and of course a reunion from Start-up. Her character … Continue reading →
Well the tides have indeed turned between C-actress Zhao Lu Si and her former agency Galaxy Kuyu Entertainment. Over the summer she went public alleging mistreatment and poor management by the agency and demanded to have her recently renewed contract terminated, ostensibly without needing to pay the usual hefty early termination fees. The agency refused and in the stalemate she … Continue reading →
So it’s 2026 K-drama preview time and in addition to the first look at Remarried Empress there are also the first ever drama stills out from MBC modern romance Perfect Crown (Korean title 21st Century Prince’s Wife). Starring IU and Byun Woo Seok, this is one of the three biggest on deck K-dramas for next year in 2026 with the … Continue reading →
Hoo boy do these four K-stars look phenomenal in character for the upcoming K-drama version of webtoon Remarried Empress. Even if it’s a hot mess adaptation (and honesty the webtoon was also a hot mess to begin with) at least the visuals will be glorious and spot on. Shin Mina does regal and classy Navier beautifully and Joo Ji Hoon … Continue reading →
Oh this is the sigh of relief type of good news I was hoping for. Last month C-ent casting was discussing Li Yun Rui and his next C-drama the period work Gui Liang Chen (归良辰) adapted from a novel and the female lead being discussed was teen actress Ai Mi. But like all C-ent castings the rumors can go multiple … Continue reading →
