Despite my love for Lee Bo Young I am staying as far away from her new tvN Sat-Sun drama Mine as far as my legs can carry me. Watching a(nother) chaebol family behaving badly drama is about as appealing as getting a root canal without anesthesia. Mine is doing great in ratings, not as high as predecessor Vincenzo but started … Continue reading →
I don’t think I would argue with this assessment even if it’s possible to make alternative arguments. But by and large it really has been an epic run for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin in her 22-year long career on South Korean television. Her movie resume is actually longer but for I-audiences it’s really the world of K-dramas where one first … Continue reading →
If I grow to like K-actor Na In Woo even more than I do now after his successful parachute in male lead turn in KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises, I’ll always enjoy the epic takedown I did of him in a blog post announcing his casting to replace Ji Soo and how much he sucked in Queen Cheorin … Continue reading →
Ooooooh, this looks so tasty a drama dish! The first stills are out for the fantasy drama The Witch’s Diner (Welcome to the Witch’s Restaurant) airing this July on streaming platform TVING. Starring Song Ji Hyo as the titular witch giving off plenty of Lee Man Wol from Hotel Del Luna vibes, the story centers around her opening a restaurant … Continue reading →
Welp, with Taiwan under the tightest COVID-19 lockdowns since the pandemic started 19 months ago, this is clearly going to be the biggest fish news for the tabloids. Taiwanese actress-singer Barbie Hsu (Da S) announced this morning to an Taiwan Apple Daily (owned by Next Media) reporter that her marriage is over to husband Beijing-born Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei and … Continue reading →
What a fitting first post on the first day of June, this year in 2021 is certainly a better spot than last year but even during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns there at least was the great outdoors to venture out to. K-actress Kim Yoo Jung has been the face of Fila sportwear in South Korea for many years and … Continue reading →
Man, if K-netizens collectively deserve to be punched in the face this instance would merit it. After My Roommate is a Gumiho premiered last week on tvN, K-netizens started to speculate and discuss that female lead Hyeri and her former Answer Me 1988 costar and real life boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol must’ve broken up because she’s too friendly with Roomie … Continue reading →
I don’t think anyone would be surprised to hear that maybe top stars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are heading towards marriage. They have been dating since finishing Crash Landing on You, though fans of either may believe their relationship predates the drama and started after they did Negotiation in 2018 when they were spotted in a Los Angeles … Continue reading →
I think this case has many different elements at play so how you react depends on what issues you find more problematic. Top movie actor Ha Jung Woo was being investigated last year by the Gangnam police for unauthorized use of the anesthetic propofol at a Gangnam clinic, including using a false identity to procure it. The investigation has wrapped … Continue reading →
I found my drama crack of 2021 and it’s definitely tvN Wed-Thurs fantasy rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho (Frightening Cohabitation). My adoration of this drama is up there with how much I loved Start-up last year, less that the drama is a “work of art” but rather the drama “works my heart”. It makes me love and care about … Continue reading →
There is a Korean Youtuber who is making waves recently for gossip reveals on celebrities. The most recent reveal is that K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun‘s marriage is on the rocks and headed towards divorce. Reportedly her husband of 9 years (married in 2012) has moved out since last December and wants to divorce after cheating on her. She’s refusing to … Continue reading →
Okay, this post really should be a series of exclamation points and question marks and WTF headdesking. Or perhaps I’m simply unable and unwilling to look at that butcher’s cleaver that is time and accept that reality when I heard of this casting. K-actor Bae Soo Bin is returning to his sageuk roots joining the cast of Affection (Yeonmo) adapted … Continue reading →
K-actor Lee Do Hyun may be pulling a Song Kang this year with multiple dramas but I’m not too worried about his overexposure (yet). He’s currently in Youth of May and will also do Melancholia with Im Soo Jung, and now he’s also in talks for the upcoming webtoon adapted K-drama Hunting Dogs with Kwak Dong Yeon, and there will … Continue reading →
