Bravo, a resounding Bravo to singer-actor Taecyeon for picking this drama and role as his second post-military project. I’m sure he got offered male leads but a memorable role is much harder to come by. Thus far he’s been excellent in tvN drama Vincenzo, really essaying the character who has always been a little too goofball from the get-go, if … Continue reading →
I think River Where the Moon Rises is finding its stride and that may actually be two separate dramas going on. Episode 5 was a slow episode as Ga Jin and Ondal playacted the most non-confrontational and non-serious “let’s stay apart” two-step ever. They have zero reason NOT to be other together, what her Crazy King Dad did top his … Continue reading →
First there was Park Hye Soo in Dear M, with allegations of her high school days bullying ways, and discussions whether the drama should be postponed or shelved as it has finished filming and is on the cusp of airing. The production will barrel ahead there and release the drama despite netizon complaints, and now this is a second what-to-do … Continue reading →
It’s been some time since I saw so much glitz and glamour and this time it’s courtesy of C-ent which held the 2020 Weibo Night Awards despite it already being 2021. Better late than never and the ceremony feted popular C-stars in various categories that I’m less curious about than checking out the fasion. Yellow, bright canary yellow, as the … Continue reading →
I found my new crack drama ladies and gentlemen! Patience has paid off as episode 4 of Vincenzo was so good I have the shivers and shakes and can’t stop thinking about the exquisite details. Our Vincenzo may still have his own agenda (tons and tons of gold, who wouldn’t?) but he’s going to mete out some of his own … Continue reading →
It’s been a few years since K-ent went one a remake spree with popular Taiwan dramas but we have a really great one coming up. K-drama is remaking the hit TW-drama Someday or One Day (Missing You) which starred Alice Ke and shot Greg Hsu to stardom. The drama was popular in South Korea as wells with fans who watched … Continue reading →
Streaming platform Netflix isn’t just going all in on K-dramas it’s also extending its financing into K-movies. Yoo Ah In‘s zombie flick #Alive with Park Shin Hye got its theatrical release scuttled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and ended up a huge viewer hit on Netflix. I’m not surprised he is signing on for more Netflix exclusives, he has drama … Continue reading →
I have patience when it comes to dramas starring my loves. The longest I went with sticking with a drama before it reached payoff time was with Uncontrollably Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, that drama was 18 episodes of set up but the final 2 episodes was sheer perfection. I watch episodes 19-20 even now and I’m crying … Continue reading →
HK movie fans will forever link actor Ng Man-tat with comedic actor-director Stephen Chow and it’s probably both a blessing and a curse for both. The legendary supporting actor passed away today in Hong Kong at the age of 70 years old, in the hospital since earlier in the month due to rapid deterioration from liver cancer that he had … Continue reading →
Fans of Yoo Yeon Seok or Lee Chung Ah already know that the two talented stars are good friends in real for going on 18 years. They are also so visually compatible and coupled with their BFF chemistry it’s no wonder sportswear brand Eddie Bauer selected them for the brand a few years ago and continues to use them. Their … Continue reading →
I thought Seo Kang Joon‘s last drama would have been totally up my alley but who knew it just didn’t connect with me. When the Weather is Fine costarred Park Min Young who I really like and seemed like that sorta of melancholy quiet emotive romance that would really usher me into a warm place of comfort. But it ended … Continue reading →
MBC took a break in the Wed-Thurs time slot after The Spies Who Loved Me but next month in March will premiere a new drama called Oh My Ladylord (Oh! Master). I hate the title lol but the cast is promising with leads Lee Min Ki, Nana, and Kang Min Hyuk. However the premise sounds so much like a prior … Continue reading →
Holy smokes what a diverse and rich line up Netflix has in store for K-drama viewers in 2021. The network held a press stages yesterday to showcase its upcoming dramas and released official stills for each, a veritable smorgasbord of something for someone. The dramas are (in order of where the stills appear in this post): Sea of Silence with … Continue reading →
