There’s two young names being added to the upcoming season 2 of hit medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. I figure the younger leads Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok don’t feel the need to come back understandably, so in their place the drama is going to cast Ahn Hyo Seob and rookie Jeon So Ni. Of course the … Continue reading →
Oh boy, not another one. K-ent got a rattling Sunday morning wake up with K-actress Gu Hye Sun posted on her SNS account a picture of a piece of paper with the words “Gu Hye Sun, I love you, Gu Hye Sun, I love you” but below her caption read that her husband Ahn Jae Hyun has changed his mind … Continue reading →
The wait for K-actress Gong Hyo Jin back on the small screen is nearly over, as script reading stills were released by KBS for the upcoming drama When Camellia Blooms. Filming is already underway since last month but this start of promos for the drama brings the excitement of checking out how drama will look visually. I remembering getting more … Continue reading →
Filming is underway for the mid-fall tvN drama Melt Me (Melting Me Softly), which actually has a romantic-ish title if it’s referring to the heart but less so when it references cryogenics. The drama stars Ji Chang Wook and Won Jin Ah as a man and woman who takes part in a 24 hour freezing experiment as part of a … Continue reading →
Looks like SBS is on a Lee Seung Gi roll from late summer into early fall, what with his variety show Little Forest and now the airing date confirmed for thriller Vagabond. Come September 20th, fully pre-produced Vagabond will finally debut with likely mid-to-high expectations what with the big name cast especially the reunion with his former costar Suzy who … Continue reading →
South Korea’s vaunted TaeJiHye top three beauties is having wildly divergent summer of 2019. Tae is Kim Tae Hee who is currently on work hiatus pregnant with her second child with husband Rain.

A congrats to the cast of crew of SBS Mon-Tues variety show Little Forest, a first for the network in slotting a variety in a time period traditionally airing a K-drama. The show came in first in ratings 5.1%, 6.8% opposite second place the MBC drama Welcome 2 Life with 4.4%, 5.6% and coming in third is KBS drama I … Continue reading →
With the truncated K-drama airing slots, there really is less and less for me to look forward to. Luckily SBS has already commissioned melodrama VIP for October 2019 in the Mon-Tues slot, which means it’s returning that time period to dramas after doing variety for the summer. VIP stars Jang Nara and Lee Sang Yoon as a married couple working … Continue reading →
Oh man, I can’t believe it’s already take off time for upcoming tvN drama Love’s Emergency Landing (Crash Landed Love). I hope/pray the drama doesn’t ever end up reflecting it’s title, what with any crash landings on ratings or expectations with big name headliners Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin together on the small screen. They play the OTP, of … Continue reading →
I don’t know if I’m disappointed because this is what was expected. With the Hong Kong democracy protests well into two months with no signs of stopping, all signs point to Mainland China escalating it’s countermeasures to curtail and end the movement. Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese stars who are working in K-ent as K-pop idols this week all collectively … Continue reading →
Well, it may be another day but it is the first controversy for K-drama Hotel Del Luna. C-netizens have unearth tons of side-by-side comparisons in over 6 scenes that they claim Hotel Del Luna plagiarized or ripped off from period C-drama Goodbye My Princess (Dong Gong or Eastern Palace). Goodbye My Princess aired earlier this year and is adapted from … Continue reading →
This is getting rather absurd but politics nowadays feels like the theater of the dramatics. More C-stars are cutting endorsement ties with luxury brands over how the brands refer to Hong Kong and/or Taiwan on it’s merchandise or websites. Model Liu Wen ended a years long partnership with Coach, Zhang Yi Xin (Lay) cut ties with Samsung, and him and … Continue reading →
tvN fantasy drama Hotel Del Luna is slowing down a bit for me, not as sticky fun to watch as the first 6 episodes were right out of the gate. But unlike the Hong Sisters last drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odysessy) it hasn’t devolved into nonsensical frustrating plot developments which I appreciate, it’s sticking to the core story of Man … Continue reading →
