K-actress Kim So Hyun has taken a good long break for a year and half since her 2021 sageuk River Where the Moon Rises and she’s now got a new agency and new drama. She’s accepted the female lead for K-drama Is it Coincidence adapted from the same name webtoon on Kakao. It’s slated to be 8-episodes and details the … Continue reading →
I know this drama is anchored by a magical spoon that swaps lives but the underlying “Who would do it” idea is so good because there are many like scenarios that could happen in real life. MBC premiered Gold Spoon two weeks ago and I’ve gotten caught up and love it. It’s so much better in story than expected and … Continue reading →
The summer 2022 modern C-drama Gentlemen of Eastern 8th, which is the C-version of Gentleman of Dignity in general set up of four male best friends and their love lives, ended its run with an abysmal Douban score of 2.1 and good riddance to that. Even more good riddance is reserved for male lead Zhang Han (Hans Zhang) who during … Continue reading →

The network is bringing in big names for this drama pairing up Ha Ji Won and Kang Ha Neul with Go Doo Shim playing the central grandmother figure by which this pretend grandson from North … Continue reading →
This sounds like one of those feel good dramas that presents aspirational positive pursuits and throw in an old school romance on top. C-ent gossip is saying that Zhao Li Ying and Gong Jun as the next couple to be thrown together in the C-drama OTP musical chairs and this time it’s a modern drama (whew, what a breath of … Continue reading →
It’s like these two just know how to showcase the right amount of public affection to share with their fans knowing they are public figures but also not too saccharine in gestures. This weekend K-actress Son Ye Jin posted a ticket stub for the movie Confidential Assignment 2: International, which stars her actor husband Hyun Bin. It was for two … Continue reading →
C-ent is so awash with popular stars and it’s interesting to see who is one step above the other in terms of the number of endorsements. In 2022, the C-actress with the most is Dilraba Dilmurat with 28 brands across a wide swath of industries. TW-actress Ouyang Nana is second spot in 25 endorsements and Yang Mi in third place … Continue reading →
So this is one of my all time fave medical/forensic/procedural J-doramas and to see it getting a K-drama remake elicits conflicting feelings. On one hand more people will get to know this fantastic story but on the other hand nearly all K-drama remakes of J-doramas fail miserably. Unnatural looked like a run-of-the-mill procedural but really shone as special with the … Continue reading →
I think it will all work out for Kim Sun Ho, because he’s done all the practical and savvy steps after his October 2021 scandal and it was never a career ender to begin with. Kim Sun Ho will be holding a fan meeting in Seoul in December 2022 which will mark his first major mainstream event and it is … Continue reading →
On one hand this drama has a lot at stake but then perhaps it has nothing at all. Filming has wrapped for K-drama Youth, Climb the Barrier which is the literal title and I’m sure there will be a much more smooth sounding one when promo time comes around. Starring Park Hyung Sik and Jeon So Nee, the drama has … Continue reading →
Okay, I think I just saw the perfect female lead casting for the upcoming K-drama adaptation of Korean webtoon Remarried Empress. Han So Hee as Navier! Why have I never seen it, and now I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it haha. Of course, if it was Han So Hee from before she got famous I could totally see her … Continue reading →
With fashion pictorials I normally just enjoy the pictures as the “interviews” always feel so scripted and sanitized. Vogue Taiwan just dropped a massive pictorial and cover spread with TW-actress Barbie Hsu and her new Korean musician husband DJ Koo (Koo Jun Yup) that is way better if you look at the pictures and read the entire interview because together … Continue reading →
It’s just bad timing for Park Min Young that this dating news came out at the time when she is premiering a new drama. She’s not new to the industry and has has her share of dating gossip and tabloid news good and bad, and this one is particular one is pretty bad but nothing to end a career over … Continue reading →
