I feel like my return to C-drama land this past summer of 2022 may have been guiding me to get legit excited for the C-drama adaptation of my favorite xianxia period C-novel Lost You Forever by Tong Hua.

The dichotomy couldn’t be more opposites with the title of the newly arrived Fri-Sat dramas on prime time. On one hand there is Gold Spoon (The Golden Spoon) on MBC going up again fighting for the little guy One Dollar Lawyer on SBS. The first ratings are out and Gold Spoon has 5.4% with One Dollar Lawyer in the lead … Continue reading →
The previous name for this K-drama was Gyeongsang Creature which makes it look like a monster flick but has since been changed to K Project. Not sure if that is a code name but either way this drama remains relatively tight lipped on what to expect. A period drama set during the Japanese occupation era, Park Seo Joon and Han … Continue reading →
Watching this go down is like being a trio of best friends and watching two of them get into a knock down drag out fight and you don’t know who to help because you like them both.
