I love getting a peek into any voting process (let me inside Conclave!) and for the 2025 Baeksang Awards the judges are revealing the votes behind the scenes. For the Best Actor and Best Actress, the most coveted for the acting industry, it was not what I was thinking behind the scenes. Kim Tae Ri was near unanimous in getting … Continue reading →
Well this sucks majorly for cutie pie Sun Zhenni! I’m not going to say this doesn’t happen on occasion in C-ent but still sucks to have to happen to an actress that recently had a small breakout thanks to her last drama and was primed for a really great next role. The Mango TV produced modern C-drama Dazzling is scheduled … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I love this gritty and bold vibe for the character posters just released by jTBC for the K-drama Good Boy. The six main leads are Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, Oh Jung Se, and Tae Won Seok with the majority playing former Olympic level sporting champs turned cops. It’s been a few … Continue reading →
So this feels like a perfect match to me, and one that feels inevitable. Director Guo Jingming is a visual above all else director and producer and it’s only a matter of time before he goes through all the visual male leads in C-drama land. This time he’s landed on Chen Zhe Yuan who casting rumors say will be the … Continue reading →
So this is the C-drama that last week was rumored to possibly be considering Zhao Lu Si until it ran into her working with the director of the unfinished drama Almost Lover. The English title is A Beautiful Destiny and the Chinese title is 月都花落 Yue Du Hua Luo adapted from the novel 月都花落，沧海花开 Yue Du Hua Luo, Cang Hai … Continue reading →
So there was a lot of movement around this drama which has been in prep for quite some time but with the recent hits and misses in C-dramas the production is ready to move forward and the leads are all but inked. The drama is titled 翘楚 Qiao Chu and is adapted from the novel 楚后 Chu Hou or Empress … Continue reading →
So this is both a surprise and not a surprise, I think anyone of the five nominees in both the television side best actor and best actress categories could win but the winners were not who I thought would win. Joo Ji Hoon won Best Actor for Trauma Code: Heroes on Call while Kim Tae Ri became a two-time television … Continue reading →
Awwwww, what fantastic news to share! Married TW-stars Roy Qiu and Tiffany Ann Hsu announced today that they are expecting a baby.

There is a first for everything and it looks like Good Boy is indeed the goodest of boys what with the broader than usual release. The jTBC airing K-drama will be available for streaming on both Netflix and Disney+ in Korea at the same time, the first that the competitor platforms have agreed to a simulstream situation. This will only … Continue reading →
This may be the longest on the shelf C-drama with now going on 7-years that The Love of Hypnosis has been sitting in statis. It was filmed in 2017-2018 and was then a huge budget high profile drama with Crystal Liu as the top billed female lead with Jing Bo Ran as the male lead. Then the second male lead … Continue reading →
iQiyi is surely breathing a sigh of relief with the reception for it’s fantasy supernatural period C-drama The Demon Hunter’s Romance. The shelved for nearly two years drama airdropped in early April once the ban on female lead Song Zu Er was lifted and the result was better than expected. The drama got stronger than expected reviews especially for male … Continue reading →
Awww bummer I would have LOVED to see these two work together. C-ent casting gossip is saying that Zhao Lu Si was in talks for a period romance C-drama titled Yue Luo Hua Du 月落花都 which means Moon Falling on Flower Capital and if it was finalized would be her first drama since her medical hiatus four months ago. The … Continue reading →
So the Douban opening ratings of 6.9 are on the high side for modern romance C-drama Such a Good Love with Wang An Yu and Wang Yu Wen, which premiered in early April and concluded it’s rather mid reception run. The buzz just wasn’t there for this arthouse drama and the two leads are not high traffic stars, but it … Continue reading →
