It’s cool that I always see Taiwanese actresses being besties with so many of their colleagues, and there’s an oldie but goodie duo on the horizon with Rainie Yang and Tiffany Hsu joining forces again for the upcoming horror sequel movie The Tag-along 2. Tiffany was nominated for Best Actress for the Golden Horse Awards last year and The Tag-along … Continue reading →
Oh wow, this is a really shocking drama filming update, and makes sense in light of no promos seen yet for this drama airing at the end of September.

Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas. That doesn’t mean tvN is on the downward trajectory and I hope the network continues to churn out interesting dramas without succumbing to the fallacy … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Sun Ah will always have one of the biggest Hallyu era K-drama classic hits under her belt with My Name is Kim Sam Soon but life doesn’t stay in one place and she’s continued to add onto her acting resume in the 12 year since. This year with mega hit Women of Dignity she is back on top … Continue reading →
The press conference for premiering this week Wed-Thurs MBC K-drama Hospital Ship went off without a hitch, if one was looking for a very young college professor proudly introducing her graduating class of seniors to enter the real world.
