Wow, I was already impressed that cable network jTBC scored a huge win right out of the gate with weekend drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon last weekend, but the incredible ratings rise that continued this weekend leaves me giddy with shock and glee. Episode 3 rose nearly another percent to hit 6.081%, but episode 4 blows that out of … Continue reading →

The one I’m interested in just cast as the leads Chen Qiao En as Empress Dugu and Chen Xiao as her husband Emperor Wen (Yang Jian). The life story of Empress Dugu … Continue reading →
I feel like Yook Sung Jae has a great agency behind him providing very sage career advice, either that or he’s just a very smart young man who is blending his potential with good decisions. His last performance was a supporting role in the drama Goblin, a fantastic decision on his part to do as something exceptionally memorable trumps doing … Continue reading →

Korean movies have been having a banner few years at the box office receipts even while K-dramas dropped in ratings every year as a whole, it’s no wonder the allure of movies has increased beyond prestige to also include financial rewards. Expect a slew of high profiles movies in 2017 from the announced batch in 2016 that finished filming, and … Continue reading →
It’ll be interesting to see how Yoona fares in her first sageuk drama role in the upcoming A King Loves with Im Shi Wan and Hong Jong Hyun. Both guys got acting props in their last drama performances, in Misaeng and Moon Lovers respectively, while Yoona was solid if not spectacular in an underwritten role for The K2.

Looks like tvN has a tightly knit acting group lined up for the upcoming spring drama Circle, an inner circle of talented and good looking leads so to speak. Confirmed now are dual male leads Kim Kang Woo and Yeo Jin Goo, each taking the lead in a portion of the drama set in 2037 and 2017, respectively. Sadly teen … Continue reading →

All black was the sartorial outfit choice of Lee Dong Wook‘s Grim Reaper when he was on the job in Goblin, providing plenty of chances to mock his attire especially the very frumpy black hat. But truth be told he looked incredibly fine in the funereal black suit just because he’s Lee Dong Wook, and in the upcoming edition of … Continue reading →

Her three year long draught from K-ent has passed the point of ridiculous but knowing she’s reviewing scripts and for sure coming back with an acting project this year helps tide the longing. Even if her dramas … Continue reading →
