It’s time to check in on TW-actress Ariel Lin who has been relatively quiet on the PR front due to filming a period C-drama for the better part of this year, with said drama Legend of Hua Bu Qi (小女花不弃 I am Hua Bi Qi) slated for a 2019 release.

It’s my girl bae’s return to the television screens after a much too long 5 year absence and the drama Fluttering Warning pairs her with Chun Jung Myung in a coupling destined after two earlier drama casting near … Continue reading →
The comparatively star-less Golden Bell Awards this year reminds me of how many famous Taiwanese actors and actresses from the golden idol drama days of the 2000s are rarely doing television work.

The low-key production of pre-filmed tvN fantasy drama Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter (Tale of the Gyeryong Goddess) continues with the release of official drama posters that are creative and cute in an understated way.

The hair stylist for Park Min Young in her last drama Why Secretary Kim deserves a raise for delivering such a visual win as a solo element of the drama.
