Yay, he’s back! But I don’t think there could be anyone happier to see Lee Do Hyun than his actress girlfriend Lim Ji Yeon lol. The actor completed his nearly two year long military service today and has been honorably discharged. I feel like he wasn’t away that long but that’s because last year during his service his pre-service completed … Continue reading →
My mad love and respect for K-actress Kim Go Eun continues to grow with news about how she’s managing her career. She’s coming off a new career high with Exhuma being both a box office mega hit and also winning her tons of acting awards, yet she’s still someone of her word. She said when she accepted the K-drama of … Continue reading →
Hot diggity it’s here! I’ve posted over half a dozen posts about rumors that Tencent will airdrop or release The Prisoner of Beauty in the last two years but this one isn’t a rumor – the drama got dropped today May 13th at noon. The soft ban on female lead Song Zu Er lifted two months ago and her other … Continue reading →
Oh boy, not sure I like this story set up at all just from the brief blurb. But if Suzy does indeed take the drama then I guess I have to check out the webtoon to see it’s hopefully just a dumb sounding story board but executed in an entertaining way. Suzy has been offered the lead role in the … Continue reading →
Seeing this first official character still of Tan Song Yun in her just started filming new C-drama gives massive The Sword and the Brocade energy and flashbacks. The drama is titled Against the Current (Chinese title 兰香如故 Lan Xiang Ru Gu which translates as Orchid’s Fragrance Remains) and is a female lead centric drama with Tan Song Yun being paired … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for Youku period C-drama Love and Crown, which like its title suggests involves the monarchy and romance in equal measure. Though it looks way more scheming and political than any actual romantic vibes in the preview, with male lead Allen Ren back to being poker faced and Peng Xiao Ran reminding me so much of … Continue reading →
There is a lot of movement both in airing and on deck dramas, plus shuffling, so it’s not clear when iQiyi will release The Wanted Detective (former title Calming Waves) but it could be a summer 2025 release in the next few months. Starring Wang Xing Yue and Xiang Han Zhi, it’s a mystery, murder, and mayhem investigative drama with … Continue reading →
Talk about a huge mess on the eve of a big budget high profile C-drama release. The period male lead centric C-drama The Journey of Legend (Chinese title 赴山海 Fu Shan Hai or Go to the Mountains and Seas) starring Cheng Yi was on deck for a May 2025 this month premiere on iQiyi and Tencent but that’s now delayed … Continue reading →
In the annals of short celebrity marriages this isn’t even the shortest but not getting past the one year mark is a good sign if you ask me. Rather than trying hard to make a union work for longer before calling it quits, this celeb couple went from married to divorced in a blink of an eye. K-actress Kim Bora … Continue reading →
The cast of Answer Me 1988 is/was very close and in the past would get together from time to time in the intervening 10 years since the drama aired. I say was now because two costars dated and then broke up so not sure if the full group hangouts be happening go forward. But I rarely saw leads Park Bo … Continue reading →
So this is one of the fastest reunions in C-dramas among OTP leads and I couldn’t be happier. Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He went from their period C-drama The Princess Royal airing to good reviews and reception to being reunited and kicking off filming of modern growth romance C-drama Our Generation (Chinese title 樱桃琥珀 Ying Tao Hu Puo … Continue reading →
The wait for Legend of the Female General may be nearing the end, after an aborted attempt to premiere early this year in January got scuttled due to the scandal of a major male supporting lead. The production quickly decided to re-film his scenes with a new actor and AI face swap into the drama. That has been finished now … Continue reading →
I love getting a peek into any voting process (let me inside Conclave!) and for the 2025 Baeksang Awards the judges are revealing the votes behind the scenes. For the Best Actor and Best Actress, the most coveted for the acting industry, it was not what I was thinking behind the scenes. Kim Tae Ri was near unanimous in getting … Continue reading →
