Ooooh, a fun game, I want to play too! SBS is opening up a bulletin board with a poll open for 1 week asking viewers which of its drama OTPs do the fans want to see reunited in another drama again. Remember, only SBS dramas but there are sooooo many classics and great pairings to choose from. Currently viewers have … Continue reading →
December has been chock full of great new drama arrivals so perhaps it’s smarted to have noona-dongsaeng romance Sunbae Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick (She Will Never Know) premiere in January 2021. I didn’t think I would be that excited for this drama but I am solely for male lead Ro Woon. He’s the reason I finished Extraordinary You, … Continue reading →
I know Hyun Bin is hawking very very expensive menswear watches for this January 2021 Esquire Korea pictorial but I’m taking away his four thoughts communicated to me as a fan. First he’s curious, trying to ponder why he’s just so smexy and fans love him. Then he’s hiding under the lapels of his great coat, a little sheepish that … Continue reading →
The year isn’t over just yet, but it’s certainly countdown time as Christmas is both that magical holiday and the one that starts the single digit trek towards new year’s day. Christmas 2020 will either be business as usual for you or totally different, either way may it be merry and safe and filled with comfort to all. Lots of … Continue reading →
I’m glad that SBS is still holding its year end SBS Drama Awards and that its decided to forgo tradition that makes it like a year end party and do it social distanced in a time of increasing yet again COVID counts. The network will not have all the attendees sit in round tables below the stage and instead winners … Continue reading →
English speaking countries head to Rotten Tomatoes to check out how critics and audience viewers rate movies and shows but in China it’s all about Douban. It’s the most influential and mass aggregated site for viewers to rate shows and is actually quite objective as the volume of votes drowns out crazed fans and antis trying to affect ratings. For … Continue reading →
I follow entertainment news and even this one caught me off guard yesterday because I thought these two were divorced already! Top C-actress Zhou Xun and Asian-American actor Archie Kao went public yesterday and confirmed they are divorced. This came on the heels of a woman posting a picture of her and Archie kissing and tagging his SNS with a … Continue reading →
The 2021 First Brand Awards, celebrating the 19th year of giving out prizes for consumer faves, will forgo a ceremony this year but still announced the winners of the various category daesang prizes. The Actress Award goes to Suzy while Lee Dong Wook was selected for the Actor Award, a funny coincidence to have the former exes in the same … Continue reading →
My Mon-Tues found an unassuming gem that is MBC drama Kairos and my appreciation for its magnificence really hits home today knowing that it’s over. This is less missing a drama I loved for more emotional reasons and more missing a great story, a consummate storyteller, knowing that I won’t have another installment next week. The low ratings don’t bother … Continue reading →
Wow wee, what a great pre-Christmas surprise! jTBC stealth mode dropped the first teaser for its early 2021 thriller K-drama Sisyphus: The Myth and I say stealth because there hasn’t been a single still released so far. Starring Jo Seung Woo and Park Shin Hye, it’s yet another time travel or time related drama where she’s the kickass warrior from … Continue reading →
I’m not sure if both stars will confirm but it’s definitely a promising pairing. K-ent is reporting that Shin Mina and Kim Sun Ho are together being courted for the K-drama remake of the rom-com movie Mr. Hong. Both are also in talks with separate other dramas, Shin Mina for I’m a Nurse, But a Human Too, and Kim Sun … Continue reading →
With a movie titled The Witch Part 1: The Subversion, it’s already primed for a sequel so thankfully the movie was good and a sequel is coming. The Witch herself Kim Da Mi has seen her career since the first movie hit a new high this year with Itaewon Class so this movie now seems like an even bigger sure … Continue reading →
I have recommended plenty of K-dramas that started off well and fell apart, and sometimes so horribly it’s like falling off a cliff, getting revived only to be smashed to pieces again. It’s just the worst because you invest so much so the disappointment is magnified. This year’s most underrated drama is likely going to be MBC Mon-Tues thriller Kairos, … Continue reading →
