So this is definitely history in the making, we may actually see a Korean cable drama break 30%. The World of the Married came close with its final episode at 28.371% and today’s episode 8 of Reborn Rich (The Chaebol’s Youngest Son) got another major ratings jump to 19.442% with still another 8-episodes left to air. And here I thought … Continue reading →
The promos for this C-movie keep saying 2022 but it’s like less than a month left and I don’t see a release date in theaters yet. Yesterday Once More starring Chen Fei Yu and Zhou Ye as wholesome young lovers dealing with time as their invisible enemy is a remake of a hit Japanese movie My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday, the … Continue reading →
I can taste the salty tears and hear the little Karen-shrieks of outrage from the far right faction of Japan but in this case it’s shooting itself in the own foot. I also need to say that China and South Korea do the exact same thing when their thin patriotic skins are offended so it’s a three Spiderman showdown between … Continue reading →
It’s such a pleasure to live watch an excellent drama, it’s why I can’t quite K-dramas despite most disappointing me. Episode 7 of Reborn Rich (The Chaebol’s Youngest Son) hit an astonishing ratings of 16.102% thanks to upping the ante again with Song Joong Ki revealing that he’s the biggest shareholder in the investment company that’s been cockblocking Sunyoung Group … Continue reading →
K-ent is reporting sad news this weekend with the report that veteran actor Yum Dong Hun has passed away from illness at 55 years old. He was more famous for his character acting as frequent K-drama viewers would absolutely recognize him on sight even if not knowing his name in real life. 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. She was at most a small-ish supporting actress before taking on what amounted to a cameo role in tvN fantasy sageuk Alchemy of Souls, just 10 minutes at the beginning of episode 1, but it appeared to … Continue reading →
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. This year in 2023 the male K-actor with the most endorsement deals is Kim Soo Hyun with 15, … Continue reading →
While K-dramas, and J-doramas too, often pick a profession and milk it to death for an entire dramas, there have been times when the profession sounds dull as beans on paper but the series manages to wring out either humanistic stories that connect or actual nuggets of excitement within what is a fairly bland profession. With that said, the upcoming … Continue reading →
When I love or hate a drama it’s soooooo much easier to write about it. The words just come pouring out because my FEELS are so vivid either way, but for recently wrapped modern C-drama Lighter and Princess I’m having a tough time writing about it but still think the drama is worth devoting a post to. Starring Chen Fei … Continue reading →
So I noticed the 2022 Weibo TV and Internet Video Summit solely for the onstage pairing of Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) and Dylan Wang, two sizzling in popularity young actors who happened to play the same character in Ever Night season 1 and 2. But it turns out the ladies side was wayyyyyyyy juicier and get ready for cat … Continue reading →
There is a Chinese saying of “tossing the dog treats” when it comes to a couple dropping cuteness whether real life or reel life. 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 →
