Last Friday GTV aired the first episode of new TW-drama Before We Get Married (We Cannot Be Friends) and thank you drama lords for giving me a new addiction back into TW-drama land! Starring Jasper Liu (Liu Yi Hao) and Puff Guo, the drama is addicting in that “bad for you but tastes so good” way, especially in transforming perennial … Continue reading →

This teaser totally caught me by surprise because I didn’t realize this drama was coming so soon. tvN dropped the first teaser for supernatural Hong Sisters drama Hotel Del Luna with IU and Yeo Jin Gu in a big way by premiering it after the first episode airing of Arthdal Chronicles since it’s taking over that Sat-Sun time slot after. … Continue reading →

It felt like Pyongyong 2018 was just yesterday and I was covering all the K-stars involved with South Korea hosting its first ever Winter Olympics. Now it’s just a year away from Tokyo taking the world stage in hosting the 2020 Summer Olympics and keeping the Olympic flame in Asia for another chance to showcase the culture of East Asia. … Continue reading →
I must say, whoever is managing rapper turning actor ONE (Jung Jae Won) and his career is doing a phenomenal job. In one year I’ve seen him cast in three very smartly slotted in small but memorable roles in high profile dramas.

tvN hasn’t premiered Arthdal Chronicles yet but managed to hold both the press release media part and the drama wrap party on the same week.

There hasn’t been a sageuk on my radar in awhile, and I’m not really counting upcoming Arthdal Chronicles since it’s mining pre-written history and has fantasy elements. I’m jonesing for a classic Joseon-era sageuk with romance and the requisite amounts of period conflict. I’m warming up to summer MBC sageuk Rookie Historial Goo Hae Ryung for that reason, a craving … Continue reading →
Fans of D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) probably thought they had another three years with this baby before he shipped off to the military what with him being only 26 and all. Alas D.O. has other plans and today announced his impending military enlistment for this July 2019. He will be out in May 2021 and during his service will be … Continue reading →
Sure sure, you can quibble with me that leads Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook didn’t start making out until episode 9 of just concluded tvN drama Her Private Life and after which they rarely came up for air.
