I can’t fault the hordes of media stationed outside the memorial location for deceased singer-actor Alien Huang (Xiao Gui), it’s the biggest entertainment news on the island and remains such a shocker. Alien was confirmed to have passed from a massive heartache brought on by aortic dissection, when there is a fatal tear in his heart aorta. He was friends … Continue reading →
I think we’re in like the 5th or 6th generation of Hallyu K-pop and the reigning girl group of whatever her generation is is undoubtedly Girl’s Generation and Yoona is the center. I think SM pushed her too early to act because I really didn’t like her early efforts and felt she could have been better served to go the … Continue reading →
The underwhelming promotion cycle for upcoming tvN drama Start-Up continues, at least it’s consistent and on a roll albeit heading in the wrong direction lol. The new poster is from the same shoot that had the four leads sitting on the bleacher, and this one takes main leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Suzy and makes them sit shoulder pressed without … Continue reading →
This next two weeks will be tough on TW-ent as recently deceased singer-actor Alien Huang (Xiao Gui) was a mainstay and friends with so many stars veterans to newbies. Funeral services in Taiwan are usually over the span of two weeks after passing, with memorials and chanting ceremonies and a host of events before the actual internment. Xiao Gui’s memorial … Continue reading →
There is one more week and one more episode left of Flower of Evil and I am going to miss the bloom off this incredibly assembled drama. From writing, directing, to acting, the entire piece hums strongly and despite a tiny slowdown in episodes 13-14 has now fully hit its stride in the denouement. If this drama gets awards then … Continue reading →
It’s not hard to root for a wronged woman, and a wronged mom makes it double the edge. Recently premiered Channel A makjang drama Lies of Lies (hahaha even the title is so makjang) recorded a 4.276% ratings in the most recently aired episode 4. That’s the highest ratings ever for a Channel A drama and there is so many … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I really love this poster. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s very striking and frames the leads beautifully in gorgeous primary colors. MBC‘s next romance drama will be The Spies Who Loved Me, taking over the time slot from When I was Most Beautiful. I haven’t heard much about it as it was quietly filming last few months but it … Continue reading →
The wait was all worth it, that Coffee Prince leads Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye have never worked together again after CP so that we can get this perfect moment. If they worked together again post CP it could be a project that sucks and ruins our memories but now we just take a walk down the memory like … Continue reading →
Big news around K-actor Park Seo Joon this week and both are very positive. He’s revealed to be cameo-ing in the currently airing tvN drama Record of Youth, as he worked with the screenwriter in One Warm Word and also male lead of RoY Park Bo Gum guest starred in his most recent drama Itaewon Class. I feel like the … Continue reading →
Wed-Thurs tvN drama Flower of Evil is in its final bloom, just two more episodes left after today’s episode 14. Truth be told the intensity has waned a bit for, lost the luster of the early Is-He-Isn’t-He mystery along with the conviction that Hyun Soo is the smartest of them all. Episode 14 felt like he was human, just like … Continue reading →
There’s a whole lot of new casting news around upcoming SBS K-drama Joseon Exorcist which had earlier confirmed male leads Jang Dong Yoon and Kam Woo Sung, with Park Sung Hoon as the third male lead. Lee Yoo Bi has been offered the female lead and I love this casting which would be her drama return since A Poem a … Continue reading →
I continue to enjoy tvN Mon-Tues drama Record of Youth but am rather intrigued by the steady ratings increase. It’s gone up in every episode so far and this Tuesday’s episode 4 hit 7.823%. It’s slow and sincere and I enjoy watching male lead Hye Joon, his family and their individual interactions, and the friendship development of the OTP. But … Continue reading →
I don’t even know how to write this post without expletives. A lot of them. I actually wrote it freestyle and just went back and deleted all the F*&ks and F#%k Yous! to 2020. Because this year just keeps getting worse and worse in ALL aspects of life and world news and society news and even entertainment industry news. After … Continue reading →
