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 →

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 →

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.

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 →
Okay, this is so not fair to one female lead and tips the romance pre-release in favor of the other just by casting alone, lol. K-actor Park Jin Young is considering the male lead role in the female-centric best friends for live K-movie remake of the hit C-movie Soulmate (Qi Yue Yu An Sheng). The female leads are Kim Da … Continue reading →
