It’s swapping like for like with these two young male actors. Kim Young Dae will not be Seo Hyun Jin‘s leading man in the upcoming drama Why Oh Soo Jae reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. He’s soon to be seen in the third season of Penthouse so perhaps that’s why. Stepping in is another promising young actor Hwang In Yeob … Continue reading →
This isn’t Lee Seung Gi‘s first public dating rodeo, years ago he dated Yoona for some time and the two quietly broke up in 2015 after nearly two years together. Both were so young back then I don’t think anyone thought realistically it could end in marriage, but now Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In are dating and K-netizens … Continue reading →
Somewhere between the abysmal wreck that was Fashion King and today, Yuri learned to act. And not just learned, but damn near excelled at. She is as regal, composed, nuanced, and natural as I can ask of any young actress playing the role of the widowed princess in MBN drama Bossom: Stealing Fate. She stands out even among every single … Continue reading →
The news cycle here is suss but it’s also nothing anyone (sane) would care about so I’m all good with it. K-actor Lee Seung Gi is having a great year in 2021, with the acting accolades and challenge that was tvN drama Mouse and also bagging his first Baeksang Award in the Variety Star category. He’s also the lead off … Continue reading →
Netflix is devoting a lot of promo time still to Vincenzo which is a great investment as streaming allows the drama to stay hot on the site for longer than the network airing period. It’s been a month since the drama wrapped but it was such a meaty work I remain curious for more tidbits. Song Joong Ki along with … Continue reading →
It’s getting closer to Song Hye Kyo‘s return to the small screen with her romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up, which I figure will definitely have a breakup but probably also a get together. She’s been filming the drama for the last month and this weekend she shared a personal picture of herself on Instagram cuddling her adorable dog. … Continue reading →
I tend to see dating/breakup or marriage/divorce news from East Asian entertainment industries in close proximity, perhaps it’s the idea that a good news makes a couple with bad news want to release it so it gets less attention. Who knows. C-ent has two new singles as married acting couple Tong Li Ya and Chen Si Cheng announced on May … Continue reading →
It’s from one fire into another for idol-actor Taecyeon, he’s just wrapped Vincenzo a few weeks ago and is diving right into his next drama. He’s taking on another challenge after doing the psychopath villain role in Vincenzo, this time it’s the vaunted sageuk character that requires precise diction and a very authentic period vibe. We all know it’s a … Continue reading →
Oh how, like, a decade changes everything lol. TW-actor Roy Qiu is having a career best year in 2021, though he’s had plenty good ones before in his nearly 15 year long career. Thanks to the TW-movie When a Man Loves, adapted from the same name Korean movie, it’s nonstop accolades and success his way. His role of the gangster … Continue reading →
Well this is a breath of much needed air. Upcoming jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Monthly House was sailing on the side of my peripheral watch list but has scooted smack in the middle thanks to a slew of right up my alley promos. The teaser clinched it, so much rom-com perfection made even better thanks to leads Kim Ji Suk and … Continue reading →
The cool sounding upcoming Netflix produced K-drama Glitch is adding to the cast around confirmed female lead Jeon Yeo Bin. She will be joined by Nana and Lee Dong Hwi, in what is billed as a weird, comedic, sci-fi drama about a woman searching for her long time boyfriend who disappeared in a haze of strange lights. I’m glad Nana … Continue reading →
This is what I call a great great ancillary drama promotion tie in. Netflix is truly on a roll, picking up great K-drama picks to stream and pouring money and effort into promoting it. Last week the exclusive new series Move to Heaven dropped about a team who cleans up the belongings of people who have passed away. This week … Continue reading →
The Sat-Sun time slot remains tvN‘s most high profile and where it puts all the big name cast dramas, so right now there is Mine with Lee Bo Young and Kim Seo Hyung and funnily enough that drama will be followed by Lee Bo Young‘s real life hubby Ji Sung‘s upcoming The Devil Judge (Demon Judge). Mine feels like a … Continue reading →
