Kim Woo Bin … Continue reading →
This upcoming Netflix K-movie looks so sweet and darling, evincing the same playbook as many such predecessors which take the young love from an earlier era and bring it forth to today as adults. Introduction to Architecture did it with juxtaposing time periods but for 20th Century Girl it looks like the movie will stick with the 1999 period high … Continue reading →
C-actor Cheng Yi just had this delicate male lead aura, which suits him playing gods in xianxia drama male leads and has in my mind pegged him in a certain mold. He’s tried breaking out obviously with modern dramas and now with an upcoming straight wuxia drama and still he looks like a xianxia god in the mortal realm doing … Continue reading →
Okay, so it is likely October 12th but may be October 13th, but this week it will happen as C-ent is reporting that modern romance drama She and Her Perfect Husband (爱的二八定律) is dropping in the usual air drop suddenly scheme that C-dramas do. I don’t know when the last modern C-drama I watched all the way through was, perhaps … Continue reading →
It’s 0-1 right now with the post A Business Proposal drama successes for the four leads who all benefited from the hit series. Kim Se Jung was first out of the gate with Today’s Webtoon and it’s one drama that I’ve heard really mixed reviews about in substantive ways. Those who don’t like it explain clearly why it’s a lackluster … Continue reading →
Oh I like this male lead pick! A day after news that Kim So Hyun was taking on modern romance K-drama Is It Coincidence the male lead has been announced as likely Chae Jong Hyeob. He was the best thing in the messiest of hot mess dramas that was Sisyphus: The Myth but hasn’t since delivered on that potential in … Continue reading →
Soooooo many memes work with this running joke about how poorly (selected) the South Korean stars look at red carpet events ranging from awards to festivals. It’s like they go out of their way to be beyond boring or intentionally fugly. The 2022 Asia Star Awards held at the Busan International Film Festival was like an episode of Project Runway … Continue reading →
SBS Fri-Sat drama One Dollar Lawyer (Thousand Won Lawyer) already broke 10% ratings in episode 3 when it hit 12.9% but this most recent episode 5 one upped itself with 14.9% ratings.

There is so much love and happiness radiating from these pictures it’s infectious. K-actor Namgoong Min and his lifetime girlfriend model-actress Jin Ah Reum tied the knot on Friday in Seoul after 6 years of dating.

Welp, be ready for legal consequences either way, when a publication says something it better be true or don’t spread it. A Korean magazine published an article that two married top stars with wives who are also famous is having an affair with a pretty female golfer. Netizens linked it to Rain and Jo Jung Seok and both actors have … Continue reading →
This year is the 27th annual Busan International Film Festival and it’s back to the star-studded glory days of red carpet throngs and plenty of slow waves. Unfortunately the K-stars stuck to their tried and true boring fashion, a slew of black dresses with the rare color showing up. The men fared much better as the classic tux is never … Continue reading →
Former high flying actor-singer Li Yi Feng is one of the 2022 casualties of the high standards of C-ent in terms of violating moral, ethical, and actual crimes.
