C-drama Love Like the Galaxy was high profile prior to airing because it was adapted from the novel by the same writer as The Story of Minglan and had two reuniting leads Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si who costarred in The Long Ballad though not as the OTP in there. I got interested due to the bit of pre-airing … Continue reading →
Omo, come again? Like, way to harsh my buzz Hong Sisters! News broke today about the structure of Alchemy of Souls, which announced prior to airing that it would consist of Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 is scheduled for 20-episodes and the subsequent Part 2 would have 10-episodes. Now the production is explaining that Jung So Min will … Continue reading →
It’s only aired two weeks and four episodes but now I’m way curious to see how high this little drama that could will go. ENA drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo) has already broken 5% ratings for a relatively unknown and little promoted drama on a tiny cable network by episode 4. Now it’s out that the … Continue reading →
I know this drama will get a proper English title eventually but it’s weird to keep calling it Youth, Climb the Barrier because it has like, nothing to recommend what it’s about. I’m talking about the K-drama adaptation of the Chinese novel The Golden Hairpin which was already filmed as a C-drama adaptation but that remains unable to air due … Continue reading →
As expected, the see-saw Saturday to Sunday ratings pattern remains steady and this Sunday’s episode 8 of Alchemy of Souls went back up past 6%, in the same vein as Jang Wook takes one step back but really two steps forward. The attempted soul swapping was thwarted by the OG soul of Mu Duk, who somehow found Wook in the … Continue reading →
I remember a former EA who worked in Hollywood production explaining the rise of reality shows around two decades around in the early aughts. It was cheaper to produce was the bottom line, and such is the case that reality and variety has exploded around the world and taken over streaming on a personal level where anyone can broadcast. But … Continue reading →
Dang, I hope the rumors are not true and that C-netizens are targeting Love Like the Galaxy next, because I’m caught up on that one and its growing on me. But back to what just happened to a recently aired C-drama The Legendary Life of Queen Lau, which premiered in June and just finished airing. From the outset C-netizens criticized … Continue reading →
I’ll report on the ratings for Alchemy of Souls if there is any meaningful change but it’s been staying around 5.3% and 6.5% on Sundays for two weeks now and it’s more interesting to keep tabs on the actual plot development. This world that the Hong Sisters created, cobbled together from a bajillion prior novel, drama, movie, play bits and … Continue reading →
So I majorly did this even if it’s like a mashup of previous drama costumes and also even costumes from these two stars own prior dramas. It’s just so eye catching and gorgeous, the first character posters of Yang Mi and Gong Jun in the upcoming C-drama Fox Spirit Matchmaker. Yang Mi going from the pure white ethereal fox goddess … Continue reading →
When there are twins in a drama its typical to style them differently but Ji Sung as twin brothers in Adamas just switches clothes lol. New stills and an action suspense laden new preview is out and the drama is giving off a weird secretive world of rich and powerful people vibes. Seo Ji Hye is framed as the rich … Continue reading →
The Crown Prince is majorly growing on me and so is actor Shin Seung Ho. He’s got this unconventionally large square face so I don’t find him handsome but his acting is super charming and his voice is insanely sexy so he’s come out of nowhere among the male leads in catching my interest. I thought it was a two … Continue reading →
Another artist has joined Artist Company, the agency formed by two besties and top stars Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae in 2016. It’s proven a success for them two and the agency has added stars in the ensuing years, and now lands a big fish with actor Park Hae Jin who was looking for a new home after … Continue reading →
Looks like Park Shin Hye is out of the traditional post-baby confinement period common in some Asian cultures and enjoying her hobbies even as a new mom.
