C-dramas have been on a casting spurt for 2026 projects and I hope to see more coming out of K-drama land as well. This one looks promising to me, Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo are in talks for a cable network ENA K-drama Romance Expert (or Romance Ph.D).

So normally when there is a showdown of two or even three big name dramas there is a clear (or clear-ish) winner but this time it seems it’s going to be who did just a liiiiiiitle bit better. Last month in the end of October 2025 saw the release of three big male lead led period C-dramas – first came … Continue reading →
So for the last six months or so word within C-ent was that the production of The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage was going to get Dilraba Dilmurat as the female lead. That would make it an S++ level production and female lead centric. But that apparently isn’t going to happen due to her schedule and other … Continue reading →

The diss on Jang Ki Yong is that he has the whole visual package but his acting remains very rote and average. With that said, he always exhibits onscreen romantic chemistry with any female lead and any time I see him do a couple’s pictorial it’s always A+++ level. That means something right lol? He along with female lead Ahn … Continue reading →
