I’m always so curious about what K-actor Lee Jun Ki would do next in his acting journey and I hope it will be in a genre he hasn’t done in years. He’s been offered the male lead in summer 2021 K-drama Link, which has the leading lady Moon Ga Young. The drama has had other male leads rumored including Kim … Continue reading →
This is one of the dramas I’m excited about for 2021 especially since it just sounds different and cool. Filming has been underway for tvN drama One Day Destruction Came to My Door with Park Bo Young and Seo In Guk with a supporting cast of Lee Soo Hyuk, Kang Tae Oh, and Shin Do Hyun so that’s like a … Continue reading →
It’s weird, after watching both Kairos and Awaken (Night and Day) back to back, Kairos is a better written and executed drama but I’m way more emotionally invested in Awaken due to the jaw dropping acting show put on by Namgong Min for the entire 16-episodes. This was his playground and we’re all just lucky to be along for the … Continue reading →
The fallout is fast and furious for C-actress Zheng Shuang after her ex-boyfriend (really ex-husband) Zhang Heng dropped the dirt that after their breakup she did not want their two babies born to surrogates they decided to have when they were together. This makes “who gets the pet” divorce question a walk in the park. Read my earlier post for … Continue reading →
There are quite a lot of big TW-dramas in development and production for 2021 but none as star-studded as Blue Hour (華燈初上) set in 1988 Taipei Red Light District about the lives, loves, and struggles of the club madam, their hostess ladies, and the men in and out of their lives. Ruby Lin is producing and plays one of the … Continue reading →
Even putting divorce with discarding surrogate babies in the same “scandal” is absurd, one is like throwing in the trash a meal prepared by a loved one and the other is burning the house to the ground level bad. C-ent is all atwitter this week with news drops complete with secret recording releases that reveal C-actress Zheng Shuang has a … Continue reading →
Okay, I can’t stop watching Awaken (Night and Day) even though I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS and I know most won’t be answered by the end. This drama is so weird, building a conspiracy on perhaps the most horrific power grab ever explored by a K-drama, where rich people (or person) seeks eternal life and in the process uses actual … Continue reading →
So it looks like 2021 summer K-drama Link will get a completely different set of OTP, and I can’t even say its an upgrade or downgrade because the aura is so totally different. Moon Ga Young continues to work harder than any other actress in her age bracket as she’s up for the female lead, with Kim Ji Won the … Continue reading →
Two different news articles on K-actress Kim So Hyun to kick off the week on a lazy Monday morning. First are the new drama stills from her upcoming sageuk River Where the Moon Rises, playing a princess who is also a warrior protecting her kingdom herself down in the battle trenches. She’s totally believable, sure she’s beautiful and tiny but … Continue reading →
Just as I thought tvN Sat-Sun sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) may not break out of the 12% ratings plateaued until closer to the end, it took a big blast free this Sunday as episode 12 brought in a cool new high 13.224% ratings. I feel like the King is really moving beyond his plotting phase and the unexpected twists … Continue reading →
Normally I would wonder how the heck Lee Jong Seok got such long hair in less than a month since his discharge from military service but then remembered that he served public duty due to a car accident in his teen years exempting him from active service. So he was able to keep his hair and now he’s doing a … Continue reading →
Right after I posted that K-media was keeping an eye on idol-actor Ro Woon the next day comes news that he’s in talks for another K-drama despite his new one Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (She Will Never Know) hasn’t even aired yet. Ro Woo has been offered the male lead in the sageuk drama adaptation of manhwa … Continue reading →
Watching tvN drama Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) reminds me of the worst and most sincere excesses of my (and many others) attempts at writing. We try too hard, and have too much to say. Individual sentences works, broader concepts are interesting, but in the earnestness of trying to convey it ends up jumping topics and tones. QC can’t decide if … Continue reading →
