K-actor Kim Woo Bin‘s hiatus from his entertainment career is heading into its third year as he had to seek treatment for throat cancer back in March of 2017. There have been rumors earlier this year of his comeback but nothing materialized, though he reportedly has recovered from the serious medical condition. This latest casting news does have legs and … Continue reading →
This is definitely the celebrity wedding of the year in Taiwan and probably the biggest wedding to have ever taken place in Tainan, one of the smaller big cities of Taiwan. Supermodel Lin Chi Ling married Japanese singer Akira (Kurosawa Ryusei) at the Wu Family Ancestral Hall in Tainan, with Chi Ling’s mother being last name Wu and the kids … Continue reading →
Because I haven’t spent copious hours dissection K-dramas tropes it, okay I’m joking I totally have. But even then I am rather amused at how screenwriters still push the envelopes of the kitchen sink method, and none of the upcoming dramas moreso than tvN romance Crash Landing on You. The solo drama stills of Hyun Bin as a North Korean … Continue reading →
I’m still surprised that my post on the female lead of Extraordinary You got so much response. She’s the central focus of the drama but is surrounded by the usual bevy of high school good looking boys, but in this story narrative with a twist. The characters have their “stage” roles and their “shadow” selves and with that it deviates … Continue reading →
While recent year K-dramas have branched out into fantasy, sci-fi, darker fare, and really a world’s away from the early 2000 dramas that launched Hallyu, upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You brings viewers back 20 years into the fairy tale world of the rich and improbable. Son Ye Jin plays a South Korean chaebol heiress who is determined to … Continue reading →
K-ent is reporting that the fully filmed K-drama adaptation of the manhwa So I Married an Anti-Fan is still without a pick up for airing, this two years after it’s done and ready to air anytime. Male lead Choi Tae Joon filmed this drama right before he enlisted in the military and he’s scheduled to be out next year, and … Continue reading →
What I hate the most about the vote rigging scandal is how many devoted young fans feel lied to and angry about this coming to light. I almost wish it didn’t, or that the results of Season 3 and Season 4 weren’t that egregious that even diehard fans revolted and insisted on an investigation. The arrested PD for Produce 101 … Continue reading →
This is certainly the Taiwanese celeb wedding of the year, especially with many recent star electing to just register their marriage and skip having a ceremony. Top supermodel Lin Chi Ling and her husband Japanese singer Akira (Kurosawa Ryohei) are already legally married after registering their union a few months ago but this weekend on November 17th the couple is … Continue reading →
You know what, I’m actually keen on this casting and the interesting sounding story. Upcoming SBS drama titled Alice has finalized the two leads, namely Kim Hee Sun and Joo Won. I feel like they are just adults and the 10 year age difference doesn’t even bear mentioning in this particular pairing. It’s not a romance driven drama helps, Alice … Continue reading →
Okay, this is totally like the South Korea version of the Epstein case, and the public just feels helpless to do anything against such blatant sweeping under the rug. K-media is reporting that Big Bang‘s Seungri will enlist in the military, already lame because he’s so old and at the top end of enlistment age which K-netizens hate because it … Continue reading →
The long Chinese national nightmare is over. Ok, I exaggerate but goodness was this a bizarre and embarrassment saga for everyone involved. Married C-stars Li Xiao Lu and Jia Nai Liang released the same statement today via their respective agencies that they are already divorced. This caps a two year long tabloid fixture starting when she was caught cavorting with … Continue reading →
I’m a big sports fan in the Big Three for me: American football, basketball, and baseball, but even I had to look up what stove league was referring to. The title Stove League for the upcoming K-drama about baseball references the name hot stove league which denotes the off-season of baseball with images of the fans and players gathering around … Continue reading →
I haven’t been following along the sexual assault trial against singers Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon, along with a Mr. Kwon who is the older brother of Yuri of SNSD, an employee of club Burning Sun Mr. Kim, and a Mr. Heo who is worked at an entertainment agency. These men and their cohorts watching illegally and secretly … Continue reading →
