Without such breadth of strong character and supporting … Continue reading →
Aspiring stars dream of the big break, a role or a moment and now is that make-or-break chance for K-actress Go Yoon Jung.

The decision to put Song Kang and Kim Tae Ri as the dual covers for the upcoming Elle Korea special D-edition December 2022 pictorial is perplexing if you consider their talent level. But it makes sense because both are really popular in South Korea, her for delivering hit movies and dramas and him for being in so many drama hahaha. … Continue reading →
I think drama and movie successes are just the appetizers for stars to rake in the endorsement deals where the real bucks are made. It makes sense as ultimately entertainment is a commodity and viewers are also customers on the other end.

But it turns out the ladies side was wayyyyyyyy juicier and get ready for cat … Continue reading →

The two leads Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young went above and beyond during the filming of Find Me in Your Memory in tossing the dog treats and even after the drama wrapped they still … Continue reading →
I love EVERYTHING about this first promo for upcoming Netflix K-drama The Glory. It’s glorious, pun intended, in how the poster captivates and the teaser mesmerizes. The poster is a screenshot of the end scene of the teaser, which starts with an embroidery of a branch into a green high heel and branching out into entire entire tree with Song … Continue reading →
So the positive news first – high profile live-action fantasy C-drama Wu Geng Ji, adapted from the hit anime of the same name, has its confirmed male lead in Allen Ren (Ren Jia Lun). He’s been rumored alongside Li Yi Tong for this drama for months so this confirmation for those in the know is not a surprise, what is … Continue reading →
I had so many problems with season 1 of Alchemy of Souls that even without the female lead change I would be starting off already so mad at the mess left behind when the first season ended. So perhaps the change of female lead is a good thing, which effectively returns Naksu’s soul back to her own body which is … Continue reading →
