It’s been exactly a year since the biggest budget K-drama of all time arrived with Arthdal Chronicles, and I can still remember my family members snerking when they randomly walked by as I was watching episode 1 because they wondered why it was so bad even catching snippets of it. It was ambitious and nowhere near the worst drama ever … Continue reading →
It’s been a slow and rather uncertain return for the cinematic world the entire globe over. COVID_19 shut theaters in March and it’s only starting to re-open up in parts of the world. South Korean movie theaters have been open for a few weeks but this week’s premiere of zombie thriller #Alive feels like the first time the industry came … Continue reading →
I don’t think there was ever a good enough way to promote It’s Okay to Not be Okay. And I might not have watched it but for it being Kim Soo Hyun’s drama and I’d watch that boy read from a phone book. This drama is breathtaking in its storytelling, the visuals equal to the emotional darkness and hope of … Continue reading →

I can’t get my arms around either the plot or ratings of tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay and it’s all in good ways. This drama keeps me off kilter and every scene feels meaningful and thrilling, I was riveted to episode 3 and there is so much to talk about. The drama setting moves from Seoul to … Continue reading →
I love it when an up-and-comer gets the spotlight and this guy has been on my radar for the last year thanks to three notable supporting performances. K-actor Yoo Teo is in talks to join Su Ae as her leading man in the K-drama Now, We Break Up. It’s Su Ae’s first drama in 4 years and she really suits … Continue reading →
When I first heard the synopsis of K-drama 18 Again it sounded just like the Hollywood movie 17 Again and lo and behold it’s totally a remake so yay for confirming that. 17 Again was surprising good and I think expanding it to a 16-episode length and in a K-drama setting is a smart re-imagining. Starring Kim Ha Neul and … Continue reading →
Gosh, I wish I could write this entire post consisting of vomiting emojis but alas his words need to be heard to be believed. Disgraced Japanese comedian Watabe Ken did an interview last week after being publicly excoriated for cheating on actress wife Sasaki Nozomi with multiple women. He’s been fired from his television gigs but his wife isn’t divorcing … Continue reading →

This is a large departure so worth noting: long time actors Jung Ryeo Won, Son Dam Bi, and married couple In Kyo Jin and So Yi Hyun are all leaving KeyEast and signing … Continue reading →
Awwww, long live friendships in K-ent and I feel like Yoo Ah In has really nestled himself in tight with so many top stars and maintained that friendship through the years. Both Song Hye Kyo and Gong Hyo Jin are good friends with Yoo Ah In, separately I believe as I don’t think both actresses run in the same friend … Continue reading →
