The teaser is out for upcoming tvN drama The Moment (Record of Youth) and it totally reminds me of Heartstrings many many years ago but swapping the acting/modeling for the music. Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam look adorable together in their one scene in the teaser and separately they also have such bright positive energy that leaps from … Continue reading →
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading because not every handsome/charming Korean actor and idol could be considered beautiful if they were turned into women versions. The popular face changing app that swaps genders is all the rage last month and while some stars have actual female dopplegangers, namely V from BTS looks just like Suzy and Cha Eun … Continue reading →
Oh boy, I crazy loved episode 6 of It’s Okay to Not be Okay, yesterday’s slower episode felt like it was conserving a lot of emotional heft to unleash today. With a slight increase to 5.647% ratings on tvN, the drama is a mid-range hit for the cable network and a deep dish akin to Producers rather than the stratospheric … Continue reading →
This sounds strangely interesting and appealing to me from concept alone, not sure why. KBS is prepping a latter half of 2020 K-drama called Zombie Detective and it’s exactly as the title suggests, a zombie who works as a detective. Choi Jin Hyuk will play the titular zombie-detective, a zombie who hides from humans in the mountains and learns this … Continue reading →
Looks like Arthdal Chronicles did spawn a sequel, only in the bromance continuation department. Rising supporting actor Yang Kyung Won, getting his breakout earlier this year as the gruff comedic North Korean soldier in Crash Landing on You, had a supporting role as well in last year’s Arthdal where he and male lead Song Joong Ki got to know each … Continue reading →
Rather than a train journey of steady speed, tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay is looking more like a car drive down the coast. At times electrifying with the astounding view and now we see a slow down of quiet contemplation. Episode 5 was a lovely interlude of sorts, bringing Kang Tae and Moon Young into each other’s … Continue reading →
The consequences are swift with this latest scandal in K-ent and hopefully the victim can start recovering and the alleged abuser can learn to be a better person going forward.

We’re wrapping up June 2020 and coming in the end of July will be new K-drama Flower of Evil, starring the flower of niceness Lee Jun Ki himself finally tapping into his evil/nice dichotomy. Promotions are starting and the first is Lee Jun Ki chilling in casual wear in the pages of GQ Korea. He deftly switches between blinding smile … Continue reading →
It’s rare to be a Legend of such magnitude and I mean in both fronts: career success and personal success. Last month Japanese news reported, and subsequently also made the Chinese speaking media, that long retired Japanese actress and singer Yamaguchi Momoe can add mother-in-law to her long list of roles. Her oldest son the 36-year old rock star Miura … Continue reading →
Speaking out is just as hard as the courage it takes to endure and survive bullying so this is really such a difficult story to hear come to light. Popular girl’s group AOA is all over K-news this weekend after former member Mina (Kwon Min Ah) went public via multiple lengthy SNS posts alleging a decade’s long bullying she suffered … Continue reading →
This drama sounds like a mashup of multiple elements from recent thriller themed dramas but heck if done right then go right ahead and try. Lee Seo Jin will be making his first full length drama return in Times, playing a news reporter from 2015 that crosses path through time with the daughter of the South Korean president in 2020. … Continue reading →
Long time supporting actor Oh Jung Se is getting his long overdue lime light this year despite still playing supporting roles. Like, best development EVAR!

The first things to jump out at me from the script reading stills of upcoming K-drama The Moment (Record of Youth) took me down a rabbit hole before I came back to write this post. Male lead Park Bo Gum looks like he stepped straight off the stage in The Book of Mormon to attend this table read lol. Hello … Continue reading →
