K-ent is reporting that Park Bo Gum and IU have been offered the lead roles in the upcoming K-drama Life.

The “stay away from douchebags” refrain is one I wish all girls hear from other girls but sometimes the douchebag conceals his douche-baggery well. Which makes this public reveal all the more satisfying. C-actress Zhang Tian Ai (best known for Go Princess Go) dropped a 3 plus minute audio this week where her longtime boyfriend actor Xu Kai Cheng (who … Continue reading →
2021 C-drama season is long over and the only one that I felt the urge to go back and watch now was One and Only and its immediate sequel Forever and Ever. If there is anything else good lemme know and I’ll add to my backlog. But in looking around I happened upon the dumpster fire online reviews and chatter … Continue reading →
It’s one thing to get viewers which usually means there is online buzz but sometimes the two don’t align. The list of most tweeted about K-dramas of 2022 (so far) has underwhelming and low rated jTBC period romance Snowdrop as the most tweeted about show, which I attribute to worldwide K-pop superstar Jisoo who is a member of Blackpink and … Continue reading →

I’m so thirsty for a K-drama rom-com right now that as uninspired as this poster looks I DO NOT CARE!

The currently airing MBC Fri-Sat drama Big Mouth just hit the midway mark of its 16-episode airing with increased ratings and buzz as a much needed success for the network.

C-actor Xu Kai is in much need of a hit and if everyone is still talking about 2018 drama Story of Yanxi Palace them yep. Ancient Love Poetry with Zhou Dong Yu was just mediocre, started off bad but did get its legs in the second half. And the currently airing Republican era detective drama Lost in the Kunlun Mountains … Continue reading →
I think it’s better to stick with the original story in set piece but understand it may have appeal to as broad an audience for the domestic viewers. Last year it was announced that Korean manhwa Remarried Empress was getting a K-drama adaptation. Now there is an update that the drama script is completed but the production is deciding between … Continue reading →
It feels like the end of another era but the beginning of one as well. K-actor Kim Soo Hyun burst out of the gate over a decade ago and during my adult drama watching period no young actor has hit it as big and as fast as him. He was 24 for The Moon Embraces the Sun and the next … Continue reading →
You can call me late to this bandwagon but it doesn’t matter when one watches C-drama One and Only (周生如故 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu).
