Man, if this K-movie was released a decade ago when K-pop fans still held strong to their stans not dating it would cause a riot because the onscreen chemistry from the stills alone of upcoming Netflix movie Love and Leashes (Moral Sense) are smoking hot between idol-actors Seohyun and Lee Jun Young. I would have loved a SNSD and U-KISS … Continue reading →
Oh hells yeah! I’m off to say a couple of Hail Marys to the drama gods after this but I have to share the news ASAP. K-ent is reporting that Lee Se Young will be the leading lady opposite Lee Seung Gi in the K-drama adaptation of romantic webtoon Love by Law. Lee Se Young was still in teen actress … Continue reading →
I feel like this drama is more suited to air in the summer, or perhaps since it’s telling a time spanning story through four years then it will also cycle through the seasons as the story ebbs and flows so it’s suitable to air anytime and still deliver the feels. Twenty Five, Twenty One is slated to drop next week … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting tabulation of Netflix shows in terms of popularity. A new list is out through January 30, 2022 showing the cumulative hours watched of each Netflix show. I think it’s more accurate in some ways than number of people who clicked on it because some could watch and then drop it, whereas total hours means the … Continue reading →
I think most long time drama watchers know that K-actress Kim Tae Hee has been the unmoving consensus among K-ent and K-netizens for her Top Beauty. This week there is an article discussing the successor to the Top Beauty Per Decade and the feeling that there is no consensus decision. In the 1980’s the pick was Hwang Shin Hye, and … Continue reading →
A new year and it’s time to wish the third gen of Hallyu K-drama child actors off to grown up land, and for the guys it’s military service as a rite of passage. Child actor turned teen actor turned on the cusp of adult actor Nam Da Reum is off to the army this week, enlisting for mandatory service at … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to start my Ghost Doctor watch but January 2022 has been a blur so it’s still on my to-start list. But every time I see snippets posted by tvN on its various SNS accounts including Facebook and Instagram I can’t help but watch because those scenes are always interesting. It appears the domestic viewers feel the same … Continue reading →
The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art. Even to the very end, the story conclusion was as expected to the veteran drama watchers (there was no other ending possible), but for those … Continue reading →
A little oxtail baby has arrived straddling both TW-ent and J-ent and it was legit a total surprise even in the tabloid heavy ways in those news cycles. On lunar new year’s eve 2021 right before the arrival of the year of the tiger and everyone was bidding farewell to the year of the ox, Taiwanese supermodel (and sometimes actress) … Continue reading →
This is such an entertaining side-by-side study and makes me appreciate more that at least K-dramas try to reign in themselves when designing drama posters. Since Winter Sonata twenty years ago hit the shores of Japan and planted itself firmly in the watching oeuvre of the Japanese audience, K-dramas have been exported there regularly and with great success from time-to-time. … Continue reading →
It’s not a good new year for TW-actress Ady An as the news cycle has hit her in a negative way. This weekend all the Chinese-speaking newspapers are reporting that Ady’s 49-year old non-celeb rich businessman husband Levo Chen (Chen Rong Lian) was arrested by the Macau police along with another business man on allegations of illegal gambling and money … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is a huge faux pas but it definitely let the cat out of the bag. This weekend K-actress Uhm Ji Won shared a V-log of her and another friend celebrating Park Shin Hye‘s pregnancy, probably an early baby shower of sorts. Park Shin Hye is clearly surprised and super happy, she’s just been radiating joy for … Continue reading →
If there is one fallen celeb I want to yeet himself right off the celeb stage it would be Big Bang‘s Seungri. Alas while he may never have a famous career again I can see him returning to all the dirty money he made over years and continuing to make more dough behind the scenes in private endeavors, so that’s … Continue reading →
