Nothing is known about this drama (substantively) so all the attention is on the background stuff including casting and production. Upcoming jTBC drama Snowdrop is hot to trot on casting, first casting Jisoo of Blackpink, then Kim Hye Yoon which would reunite her with the Sky Castle production team who is doing Snowdrop, and lasting offering the male lead to … Continue reading →
I love how C-netizens remain totally candid when it comes to assessing the acting ability of the wide swatch of actors and actresses in the industry. They are brutal and I love it because the ability to act isn’t a personal attack, it’s subjective certainly but it’s like Justice Potter in the definition of what is obscene: “I’ll know it … Continue reading →
K-actress Son Ye Jin is back being the face of ladies care brands rather than the CEO in Crash Landing on You who manufactures it. She’s reportedly increased her already substantial CF campaigns since CLOY which is not surprising because the drama was fun and she was absolutely gorgeous in it. You gotta strike while the iron has gotten hot … Continue reading →
Some new Hyun Bin fans, courtesy of Crash Landing on You, probably may not even know that he was a red blooded marine in the South Korean military. His enlistment was for the hard core marine corps which you have to test into and doesn’t have easy rotations such as entertainment division or public service. Once you’re a marine you’re … Continue reading →
I knew there was a reason I love Ha Ji Won, aside from her awesome acting and bevy of great drama and movie roles I’ve enjoyed under her belt. She’s the latest guest star to the trio of actors traveling around South Korea on a House on Wheels. The episode moves the group off the dry land and onto the … Continue reading →
I don’t know when we’re seeing the new dramas premiere as basically all K-drama filming has been halted now due to the sudden resurgence of COVID-19 in South Korea. With that said, anything new feels even more special and tvN released the first stills for fantasy K-drama Tale of Gumiho with leads Lee Dong Wook, Jo Boa, and Kim Bum. … Continue reading →
If there are enough footage in the can then maybe a week off from filming will not result in episode pre-emptions in the coming weeks but we should get ready for some breaks in our currently airing fave dramas. Due to a spike again in COVID-19 in South Korea, a handful of dramas earlier in the week have already announced … Continue reading →
I wish Song Hye Kyo were modeling another footwear brand because I really don’t like this brand’s shoes so I won’t even mention the name hahaha. I love Song Hye Kyo’s valiant attempt to make what is really fugly Sketchers knock-offs and fuddy-duddy work shoes look interesting. What is interesting is her makeup, a combo of dramatic lined eyes and … Continue reading →
Okay, hearing this story makes me want to punch Katsuji Ryo in the face, like he legit has an asshole punchable face. J-ent reported in June that married for two years star couple AKB idol-turned-actress Maeda Atsuko and kabuki actor Katsuji Ryo were on the outs as in June 2020 he had moved out of their shared marital residence. Maeda … Continue reading →
Normally it’s the male stars that deny deny deny dating/marriage relationships but the last two years has seen TW-actress and model Tiffany Hsu (Ann Hsu) boldly holding firm to the official line that she’s still a single lady. Tiffany of course had the long very high profile young kids in love relationship with Ethan Ruan that everyone was happy she … Continue reading →
Hold my beer because I have to both squeeeeeee and then down the beer with fist bumps because this news is so unexpected and so awesome I can’t even contain myself. The mega hit 2007 K-drama Coffee Prince, further launching and cementing the careers of leads Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye, has also with time also proven to be … Continue reading →
There is no mid-week hump for me, at least not while Flower of Evil is airing in the tvN Wed-Thurs time slot. This drama is the best type of modernized melodrama crack, the classic tropes redefined and elevated to sleek modern mores. The stakes are high for EVERYONE which is why the tense terseness works, we know characters are invested … Continue reading →
I feel like this new COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea could have 100% been prevented as the country did such a good job in February-April in containing the first wave. Alas the relaxation of restrictions and the crazies pushing for normalcy have come to roost as the nation is hitting new daily highs in infections. A few K-dramas, some currently … Continue reading →
