If I haven’t watched Jung Kyung Ho stretch his acting (and genre) chops so much in his nearly two decade long career I would absolutely believe that he is always acting as himself, the perfect beta male lead. It started with Smile, You as his breakout drama and has continued off and on until now it’s back in the spotlight … Continue reading →
The streaming platforms in South Korea continue to get into the drama production line and Wavve is prepping a new thriller drama called Look at Me.

I’ve long since put Love by Law (The Law Cafe) in the rear view mirror and neither leads Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young have come out worse for wear with, I just chalk it up to wrong roles in a lackluster story. 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 →
Okay, I just want an even smexier and hotter version of Lighter and Princess and this C-drama is guaranteed to make my day/month/year. Filming has commenced for modern C-drama Into the Storm based on a popular same name novel and starring buzzy stars Wu Lei and Zhao Jin Mai. A chunk of the story takes place overseas and the production … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Yoo Jung has been with agency Awesome Ent since 2020 after doing her last project under Sidus HQ which was Backstreet Rookie. Her first drama Lovers of the Red Sky under awesome looked good on paper but fell apart in execution but it’s still early yet. The agency has been doing a really strong job of promoting her … Continue reading →
The players are being assembled for the fantasy K-drama Death’s Game and Go Yoon Jung is definitely capitalizing on her Alchemy of Souls success right away. She’s been cast as the second female lead in the webtoon adapted K-drama with leads Seo In Guk and Park So Dam. It’s the story about a man who has multiple second chances after … 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. His agency has confirmed that he has applied for and been accepted to the military police unit which is still active service but not one of the … Continue reading →
Stealth mode seems to be all the rage and good for celebs to live a personal life mostly under wraps until the time to do a self reveal. C-actor Hu Ge added to the shocking news week in Asian entertainment with the personally issued announcement that he was a dad. He wrote that mother and daughter are healthy and well, … Continue reading →
Well that’s a promising acting career likely tanked permanently. Two weeks ago K-ent was sent into a tizzy with news that the SK government was investigating a large scale military service exemption fraud involving fake medical diagnoses of epilepsy. Word was entertainers was part of the group that was being investigated as having paid a broker for this, call this … Continue reading →
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. I don’t think international viewers of C-dramas have paid attention or noticed this drama but since its premiere two weeks ago on January 14th it’s been THE … Continue reading →
jTBC drama The Interest of Love is well-made, well-acted, but oh so painfully frustrating to watch. And yet I can’t stop, it reminds me of a less toxic What Happened in Bali, or maybe just as toxic depending on the ending to come. There is four more episodes left and last week’s post-kiss episodes got the highest ratings, maybe K-viewers … Continue reading →
