It’s a drastic visual switch for me to go from watching actress Suzy with the short hair in While You Were Sleeping to idol Suzy in her full performing regala at this weekend’s Grand Mint Festival 2017. Her idol group Miss A is basically disbanded with one member leaving and the group not having any official activity for two years, … Continue reading →
There’s a really unfortunate and sad all-around news to share coming out of Korea involving Super Junior star Choi Siwon and his family.

I can’t fault K-ent for the constant coverage of engaged top stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, it’s always fun to swoon overs happy ending star romances and conjure up some wedding excitement.

That’s why it’s pretty funny and cute that idol-actor Taecyeon enlisted in the army last month and appeared to have turned back into a young boy. He’s shrunk in terms of overall size … Continue reading →
I’m curious to see if the latest live-action adaptation of the romance novel Summer’s Desire will finally make me understand why this particular story resonates with readers in similar shades to the Hana Yori Dango narrative. The TW-drama was a horrific casting mishap from the get go, with Barbie Hsu, Peter Ho, and Huang Xiaoming all being too told and … Continue reading →
Filming on the C-drama adaptation of Taiwanese manhua The King of Blaze (Fire King) is moving along swiftly, and like the narrative of the original story which spanned both ancient times and modern era, the production has now smoothly segued the leads.
