I loved Answer Me 1988 but was never in the shipping wars, nor did I become a rabid Ryu Jun Yeol fan afterwards as many folks I know did. He did a fantastic job playing a truly well written role but I didn’t parlay that beyond the drama, but many of his fans got to continue getting to know him … Continue reading →
The first teaser is here for OCN‘s fall thriller drama Black, not to be confused with the lackluster Mr. Black from a few years ago. This Black seems to be all about the color and it’s connotations, from living to death, from hope to despair. The teaser has blooming pink roses quickly shriveled up before cutting to moody cutaways of … Continue reading →
This was one military enlistment that I was hoping wouldn’t end, and certainly was quite disappointed that it took on the same scandal-plagued enlistment of another idol-actor Kim Hyun Joong. Fans and media were out in force for the discharge of Park Yoochun after serving his military enlistment in the police unit. His enlistment took a crazy detour after he … Continue reading →

Dating acting couple Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin have confirmed that they are broken up, with their mutual agency explaining that the couple broke up after two years of dating due to their busy schedules. Lee Jun Ki is currently … Continue reading →
There’s a new screenwriter powerhouse in town and she’s moving upstream after two mega K-drama hits in a row. Writer Baek Mi Kyung has singlehandedly put jTBC in legit ratings contention after delivering two back-to-back hits for the cable network. She quietly arrived with My Love Eun Dong and then took off with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon earlier in … Continue reading →
The second baby arrival of K-ent baby boom of 2017 is here and a big congrats to new parents Ryu Soo Young and Park Ha Sun. The couple have been dating since meeting on the set of K-drama Two Weeks and after dating for three years got married earlier this year so 2017 is double the happiness for them in … Continue reading →
Whether Hospital Ship sinks or sails will rest of Ha Ji Won‘s shoulders, much as I am loathe to put so much pressure on her. If the writing sucks I will feel like she let herself down by picking this drama, and if the casting and the youngsters around her don’t deliver then she stumbled in not being able to … Continue reading →
Lightning in a bottle is impossible to replicate and even trying something similar in genre is a risky move to make the comparisons all the more stark. tvN finished airing the K-drama adaptation of fantasy manhwa Bride of the Water God this week and the entire thing went down like me munching on a bag of somewhat stale potato chips … Continue reading →
I can’t believe I’m already perched to jump ship from the Ye Hua-Bai Qian forever sailing into happily ever after barge. But while Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms remains perfection life goes on and one needs to look forward to new projects to come and none are more visually enticing than period C-drama Legend of Fuyao (Empress … Continue reading →
This is one amusing kerfluffle involving China’s top movie actress Fan Bing Bing and C-netizens with nothing better to do. Fan Bing Bing was a guest on a variety show this week similar to Infinity Challenge and for the outdoor events she hilariously participated while completely covered up head to toe, at one point only her forehead was showing. C-netizens … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN‘s biggest hit drama to date Answer Me 1988 is happily back in the news last week due to news that leads Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol are dating in real life. It’s as good a reason to fondly remember the drama and also flash back to the other lead Park Bo Gum‘s role in stealing Hyeri’s characters … Continue reading →
Concept posters don’t need to make or break the project to come but for a veteran entertainment consumer like me it definitely adds a level of appreciation if I see something creative or executed well. I’m loving the teaser character posters for upcoming fantasy C-drama The King of Blaze, adapted from the manhua by Taiwanese artist You Su Lan from … Continue reading →
I have solid if uninspiring hopes for upcoming MBC medical drama Hospital Ship, one that rises and falls but never falls through the hopeless trap door just yet. Unfortunately the dings are the cast members other than female lead Ha Ji Won along with medical dramas not being MBC’s forte, that would be where SBS has a nice foothold. But … Continue reading →
