I think fantasy always sounds interesting on paper but the execution has been spotting in K-dramas. The Beauty Within was amazingly heartfelt but Doom at Your Service fell completely flat, just naming two from the opposite ends of the spectrum. tvN upcoming drama See You in My 19th Life takes the premise of a woman who remembers all her past … Continue reading →
I feel like K-dramas on Neflix has established legitimacy after the worldwide phenomenon of Squid Game two years ago plus the dearth of new streaming fare that any new K-drama that premieres on the platform has a shot of getting curiosity views the first weekend. Whether the viewers stay or more come on will depend on actual quality and recently … Continue reading →
It’s pretty absurd at this point that having been in LA for all of two days that C-actor Wang Yibo manages to generate not one but two controversies already.

He was definitely one of the go-to drama male … Continue reading →
Another year another poll and this one splits the stars up into age groups to be more fair. A Meta+Survey poll of K-netizens asked who was the prettiest K-actress in the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s and here are the results. Kim Yoo Jung leads the prettiest actress in the 20’s decade with 42.8% of the vote with second place to … Continue reading →
I’m going to have to accept the explanation of Wang Yibo fans that their stan is just having a bad day anything he’s photographed at events absolutely looking like he’d rather be anywhere but there. The explanation ranges from he was up filming all night before to he’s having a tough time recently to he was snapped at the wrong … Continue reading →

Perhaps the production of Till the End of the Moon used up all the fake blood allotment in the industry because I don’t see a drop of it in the first teaser for Destined (Chang Feng Du). All joking aside, the drama is absolutely the opposite of those angtsy, destined to love or die together period dramas , it’s like … Continue reading →
