Okay, these two either went “Hold My Beer” around the other star relationship news recently or they are legit starring in their own K-drama. I hope its the latter but also realize it doesn’t matter, folks who are rich and famous usually figure it out for better or for worse. A twin shock was dropped on K-ent and TW-ent on … Continue reading →
The 2022 line up of Netflix K-dramas hasn’t gotten as much attention and buzz compared to the 2021 reveal that was a good ten-deep in big name productions, but then again all that traction from last year will benefit this year even better than pre-airing buzz.
