If I accidentally landed in North Korea I would be a worried about getting fed to pigs or ending up in a labor camp. But in upcoming tvN romance Crash Landing on You the worst thing that happens to Son Ye Jin is that the hottiest NK solder ever keeps her safe and worries about her. Oh poor her, lol. … Continue reading →
Life is so unpredictable and the saddest of event could lead to the happiest in the span of mere days. Three days after Taiwanese-Canadian actor and model Godfrey Gao unexpected passed away while filming a C-variety show, his best friend basketball player James Ma got married in Taipei as life goes on. Godfrey was supposed to be the best man … Continue reading →
On one hand I’m glad there was some justice served but somehow it doesn’t feel enough and others are still getting away with criminal behavior in K-ent. The judge has sentenced singer Jung Joon Young to 6 years, Choi Jong Hoon of FT Island gets 5 years, and Yuri of SNSD‘s older brother Mr. Kwon will get 4 years in … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi took a short maternity break and is back firing on all cylinders. She won the best dress of the night at the recent Bazaar China charity gala and this weekend at the 2019 Golden Rooster Awards also took everyone’s breath away in a white mermaid gown that looked like she had foam around her shoulders and … Continue reading →
One reason I’m extra steamed about the suckiness of Vagabond was that the stupidity didn’t even have the temerity to come with a side of silly OTP satisfaction. The leads never connected emotionally so I was stuck watching a dumber than bricks investigative shoot ’em up. That’s why I think even if upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You is … Continue reading →
Wow, I can’t believe this stealth was pulled off but kudos to the production team. K-ent is reporting that top actress Jeon Ji Hyun will be in the cast of Netflix zombie sageuk Kingdom seasons 2 and 3. Her role will start at the end of season 2 into a major character in season 3. Kingdom has done filming for … Continue reading →
I’ve been waiting patiently for Chocolate much like a kid saves the best for last during a meal. The primary reason is screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee, she who always tugs at my tear ducts and heartstrings with the way she can craft true K-melo the old-fashioned way which frankly still satisfies when done right. Chocolate brings together Ha Ji Won … Continue reading →
MBC has been very weak in the Wed-Thurs slot for quite some time but the last drama Extraordinary You was one of the extraordinarily low rated ones despite the younger skewing cult fan base. This week comes People With Flaws (Love With Flaws) which is geared towards adults trying to navigate the tricky social life of work and love. Starring … Continue reading →
This kills me, he didn’t have to die and there are even more people mourning him. Taiwanese-Canadian actor and model Godfrey Gao passed away this week from a heart attack, collapsing in the early morning hours on the streets of China surrounded by cast mates and crew filming the variety show Chase Me. His agency confirmed he recently had a … Continue reading →
I hope my boy Lee Seung Gi had barrels of fun filming SBS drama Vagabond last year. Because that would have made it worth it that I sat through what amounts to 16 hours of narrative garbage with passable action scenes. I would exile this drama to the trash bin except Seung Gi and goodness he was all hot and … Continue reading →
FUCK YOU 2019. Seriously. I cannot believe I am writing about two Asian celebrity deaths in the same week. One is already insane and painful, two just confirms this is one of the worst years ever in blogging about East Asian entertainment. News reports have confirmed that Taiwanese-Canadian heartthrob actor Godfrey Gao (Gao Yi Xiang) has died. He was 35 … Continue reading →
The last 9 weeks flew by probably because I was so addicted to KBS Mon-Tues sageuk The Tale of Nokdu that I looked forward to each Monday arriving. I’m going to genuinely miss this drama that managed to start off wacky with the cross-dressing hijinks but settle into a serious and heartwarming romance and family issues drama. The politics always … Continue reading →
I’m going to hazard a guess that K-drama Her Private Life was really popular in Singapore and it makes sense as the drama really as the classic Hallyu rom-com vibe down pat. Leads Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook delivered a 10-out-of-10 in terms of chemistry and sweetness so they deserve the popularity surge this year. The two reunited … Continue reading →
