A lazy Sunday morning feels perfect for a chill post on While You Were Sleeping breakout star Jung Hae In, and the second runner up his onscreen corgi Robin. I like everything about WYWS good enough, but Jung Hae In is the only character and performance I love among the four leads. He’s not doing it because he’s the strongest … Continue reading →

Taiwanese entertainment was due for some dating excitement this year after K-ent stole its thunder with 2017 filled with top K-star marriages and babies. This news is big enough to make up for a year of less exciting romance news than previous years – newspapers are reporting that the reunion of the decade just happened as Taiwan’s top model Lin … Continue reading →
This is a massively star-studded cast for a K-drama, which is a bit surprising since the Hong Sister‘s ratings hit streak was four years ago with The Master’s Sun and the subsequent drama Warm and Cozy was a big dud. I’m hoping this cast won’t be wasted for their ambitious Hwayugi, a K-drama inspired and based on the Chinese classic … Continue reading →

A famous Chinese proverbs says basically beauty is in the eye of the beholder but literally stated as “in the eyes of a lover, Xi Shi appears” which of course refers to the Xi Shi of Chinese history known as one of China’s Four Great Beauties.

I’m still watching SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping but with a judicious use of the FF-button and a bit of surprise that this was the penultimate week of airing. The drama ends next week and I didn’t feel any emotion probably because the leads have been in life threatening danger so many times it’s starting to be comical. … Continue reading →

C-actress Shen Yue plays the female lead and either is … Continue reading →
This is just the lighthearted breath of fresh cutie pie air I needed to brighten the day. The first teasers are out for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot and everything about each of the character snapshots are so cute. Leads Yoo Seung Ho, Chae Soo Bin, and Eom Ki Joon look their parts and the serious transitioning to … Continue reading →
I don’t recall a drearier event than last weekend’s 2017 Elle Korea Awards to celebrate K-star fashions. The pitch black logo screen is one of the culprits and then things got worse when most of the stars wore black or grey and then some looked rather grumpy or dour.

The Korean celebrity wedding of the year in 2017 was undoubtedly the nuptials of Song Hye Kyo to Song Joong Ki, an event attended by many of their friends who also happen to be big stars in their own right.

The first batch of lead stills are out for upcoming KBS drama Jugglers, probably one of the lower profile prime time dramas but with the network currently leading the Mon-Tues time slot with the surprise success of Witch’s Court then it’s setting up this drama for a good chance to succeed as well. Starring Daniel Choi and Baek Jin Hee, … Continue reading →
The first stills are out of the fated meeting between a rich guy with an allergy to other humans and the girl who will win his heart by pretending to be a robot. Upcoming K-drama I am Not a Robot is the stuff of shoujo manga synopsis pitches and funnily enough isn’t adapted from one. If it was then the … Continue reading →
