This is a reunion I’ve wanted on the small screen but not a true reunion since the two leads didn’t play leads opposite each other in their previous drama together. I’m talking about Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young going from bickering and got each other’s back pals in Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) to now playing opposite personality lawyers … Continue reading →
I feel like Zhao Li Ying keeps getting period dramas with really bland English titles. The Story of Minglan, The Legend of Fei, The Story of Happiness, and now The Legend of Shen Li. The Chinese titles are all way cooler and for The Legend of Shen Li it’s called Yu Feng Xing (與鳳行 Accompanying the Phoenix) as she’s a … Continue reading →
This summer felt like travel went from 0 to 100 as the two years of COVID stay at home restrictions and decisions lifted in full, for good and for bad, and suddenly everyone and their great-grandmothers are traveling. Perhaps if it was during peak stay at home era airing this new show In the Soop: Friendcation there might be higher … Continue reading →
So the order of the GIFs and pictures are in the ranking of how frequently K-netizens discuss wanting these two to work together. I can’t disagree with most dream pairings especially when the perfectly curated GIF delivers all the feels in mere seconds of a stitched together scene. To date, the most common wish is for Hyun Bin and Jeon … Continue reading →
Can’t believe the summer is quickly coming to a close so it’s time to look at the early fall K-dramas on the horizon. tvN Fri-Sat is currently airing I Have Not Done My Best Yet which aired earlier on streaming already so it’s basically a place holder for the time slot. Once its done the mystery drama Blind will arrive … Continue reading →
This is a fight as old as time, but I do appreciate the levity of throwing in more than just lead and second lead choices. Netflix asked its viewers of four of its streamed K-dramas if you would choose between A or B if you are the lead character. In Extraordinary Attorney Woo it’s between cutie patootie Jun Ho and … Continue reading →
Haha, maybe the graphic designer on the movie Confidential Assignment 2: International Cooperation heard all the complaints about how low budget and dumb the official movie posters were. So for the individual movie character posters at least each character looks less stiff albeit three dudes are literally doing the exact same pose. It’s the gun drawn one of course, with … Continue reading →
This Friday’s ratings for MBC drama Big Mouth was 9.8%, which puts this drama on the same trajectory as SBS Fri-Sat drama earlier this year Again My Life. An okay start but good word of mouth plus a fantastic male lead pulling in the viewers along the way. This Friday’s episode 5 got 9.8% ratings and the reviews continue to … Continue reading →
This sounds perfect for release next August during ghost month. The main cast trio has been assembled for a 2023 horror film titled Breaking Grave (Pamyo). Kim Go Eun and Lee Do Hyun are the young leads with veteran Choi Min Shik alongside, playing a group consisting of a female shaman, a feng shui master, and a funeral director tasked … Continue reading →
Ooooh this pairing is so up my alley! C-ent casting blogs are saying that Allen Ren and Zhao Lu Si are cast in an upcoming period drama. It’s called Sword Comes (or Sword Arrives) a short two word title but from the title it’s clearly a wuxia drama and not a xianxia (fantasy) drama. Both have had hit dramas in … Continue reading →
This is a frequent occurrence in the world of entertainment but its still so frustrating and demoralizing. I’ve heard of scripts getting re-written, dialogues getting changed, character trajectories getting changed midway through, and of course a final product getting re-edited. That’s apparently what happened to recently aired K-drama Anna, which got solid reviews and was the biggest drama hit for … Continue reading →
I feel like this is old school casting and in a good way. Han Hyo Joo has been offered the female lead in 2023 sci-fi drama Dominant Species (Dominion) which would pair her with Joo Ji Hoon who has been cast as the male lead. I mention old school because they basically debuted the exact same time in the mid-2000 … Continue reading →
Holy, this sounds like a fanfic made solely for all my C-drama kinks because the stuff I don’t like much are minimized and the stuff I love are maximized. The first teaser video is out for upcoming xianxia meets Republican era romance C-drama Thousand Years For You (Chinese title 请君 Qing Jun or a greeting that means “Please, Your Lord”). … Continue reading →
