When K-dramas want to do the first love trope, which it does a lot and to mixed results, it definitely delivers on the visual. The sun dappled warm coziness of the first posters for upcoming jTBC romance My Youth is so pretty, and kudos for having the story feature two sets of couples. Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee … Continue reading →
Last week a new C-drama kicked off filming and it’s the modern romance Genius Girlfriend with Tian Xi Wei and Hu Yi Tian.

There is a billing fight behind the scenes, but fight indicates … Continue reading →
Streaming platform Tencent made a decisive decision to replace second female lead Eleanor Lee (Lee Kai Xin) in its big male lead C-drama The Journey of Legend after her alleged insulting Chinese people and entertainment industry scandal exploded in May three months ago.

There are two new August weekend K-drama arrivals, neither of which particularly appeal to me in either subject matter or cast but would happily check out if I heard it was good.

Then in March of this year right before the biggest of all its K-dramas Knock Off was about to air the next month, … Continue reading →
Never change C-ent, haha, always jumping on a hot bandwagon and doubling down on what worked. C-ent casting rumor this week has Li Lan Di and Ao Rui Peng in talks for a new iQiyi modern romance drama My Queen My Rules. If they accept it will be another fast reunion of popular drama CPs in the recent year, after … Continue reading →
Well this mini drama version of The Prisoner of Beauty is certainly going for spicy all out, at least for the female lead lol. Filming has started for Yield to You starring Caesar Wu and Yue Yu Ting, and he’s got the general look down but she’s straight up rocking a courtesan look rather than the sheltered noble daughter raised … Continue reading →
I am so on the side of Gu Hye Sun here on this issue, like a million billion percent. The actress posted online this week a long statement calling out both the Korean variety programs, hosts, and her ex-husband Ahn Jae Hyun for using the topic of their divorce for conversation still. She said that it’s been 5 years and … Continue reading →
There’s a very fun casting melon that came up this week and I for one would love to see this pairing.
