Two million admissions and $15M USD in box office within 6 days is quite the feat in the Korean box office and even more so with the prolonged slump this year.

So it looks like the WIFTY reunion will not be happening.

That melon sounded like basically a lock since Zhou Yi Ran is Tencent’s prince and this is … Continue reading →
For C-actress Zhao Lu Si to use social media as her negotiating tactic of choice to try and terminate her agency contract has made her situation open for public commentary and feedback.

Well the timing of this couldn’t be worse with the discourse going on right now with the female lead. The production company of C-drama Almost Lover this week submitted the drama for airing approval and it’s been cut down from the already slim 24-episodes to only 14-episodes. I’m not even sure there is a coherent drama left in that, what … Continue reading →
Oh wow this is going to be 100% the Kim Yoo Jung show lol. And judging from the first teaser it’s going to be dark, intense, and quite a full image transformation for her from the usual sweet girl to a total sociopath social climber.

The Zhao Lu Si accusations against her agency feel like watching a family feud played out in public and it’s hella awkward.

This has been brewing for awhile and Zhao Lu Si may have telegraphed it when earlier this week she removed a link to her agency on her SNS bio.

I am surprised to see this C-drama released right now as it was rumored to be a fall release but I guess iQiyi wants to strike while the interest in the investigative period genre is high following Coroner’s Diary.

We’re now 5-days into the airing of The Immortal Ascension on Youku as we start off the month of August with this being the biggest budget C-drama to air this summer.

So this wouldn’t be as big but for the fact that the actor in the middle just happened to have a career breakout weeks before, in entertainment sometimes the highs beget a corresponding low. C-ent had a scandal last week with young 23-year old actor Zi Yu, who recently broke out with the streaming only BL-drama Revenged Love, a very … Continue reading →
The delayed but still much awaited arrival (for me) of period revenge and romance C-drama Legend of the Female General is finally coming! Tencent will premiere the drama on August 6th and hopefully spend this week prior doing solid promos. After the abrupt cancellation of one of the main supporting leads and needing to AI faceswap his character with another … Continue reading →
So this was a total millisecond long of a rumor but pretty random and worth sharing. This week Liu Yu Ning and Zhu Xu Dan, costars in last month’s fantasy period C-drama A Dream within a Dream, got swept up in a dating rumor.
