There is a new bromance in K-town, whether it was created from reel to real or vice-versa it doesn’t matter because both are just so sweet together. Rising actors Nam Joo Hyuk and Ji Soo have been gallivanting from drama set to events around town and posting SNS updates ever since filming started on the Korean drama adaptation of Bu … Continue reading →
There are always going to be younger and fresher faces in the entertainment industry, not to mention how annoying it is for fans or media to obsesses on actresses aging and/or not getting married. I like to dedicate a post to the gorgeous and successful top actresses in the Chinese and Taiwanese entertainment circle, aging gracefully without a chip on … Continue reading →
Namgong Min is soooooo good at acting bad (don’t let that smile above fool you!) one worries that he would get typecast in the most villainous of villain roles after back-to-back performances in Remember: Son’s War and The Girl Who Sees Smells. Both dramas aired on SBS and clearly the network knows a talent when it sees it and has … Continue reading →
Well this certainly two more potential adds in the plus column for upcoming MBC comedy drama Lucky Romance.

Filming has wrapped for the movie version adaptation of popular fantasy period romance novel Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles Peach Blossoms, but finished with filming doesn’t mean it’s going to hit the screens faster than the still in production drama version. This is one project I’m very excited about for atypical reasons, I actually didn’t care for the source … Continue reading →
Yet another entertaining episode of Descendants of the Sun today, with more cute and interesting plot developments in equal measure followed by a gut punch ending. Nothing rises to smarty pants stuff but remains plausible enough with slick execution to sell the scenario. Dating for real Mo Yeon and Shi Jin, along with the same development with second leads Myung Joo and … Continue reading →
There is a major sense of deja vu when I look at anything related to upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Monster (Tyrant). Thankfully it’s not a negative emotion but some fondness for positives from the past. There’s leads Kang Ji Hwan and Sung Yuri working together for the third time after Hong Gil Dong and Runway Cop, both moderately successful projects … Continue reading →
It’s a weird project to have a breakout moment but I’m sure no one involved with the drama is looking a gift horse in the mouth. The unexpected hit that was web drama Go Princess Go (The Crown Princess Promotion Chronicles) has spawned many things but one thing that is certain to stick is the elevation of leading lady Zhang … Continue reading →
Oh what an inadvertent confession can unearth. Episode 9 of Descendants of the Sun starts off with the lighthearted amusement of Mo Yeon’s broadcast confession to Shi Jin and rolls right into pushing their relationship forward. And boy does it move forward, in ways both confident and assuring. Finally the doctor and soldier stops their one step forward two steps … Continue reading →
The long wait is over as the Korean drama industry can finally let out a collective breath today – episode 9 of Descendants of the Sun broke the illusive 30% ratings mark and is the first prime time drama to do so in four years. Not since February of 2012 with The Moon Embraces the Sun has a prime time … Continue reading →
I can’t believe it’s finally time for the final countdown as this chapter 49 of Lost You Forever marks the third to last chapter of the sprawling novel. There were definitely moments along the way I nearly burned out or simply wanted to quit, but my perseverance is your continued reward along this gripping journey much as Xiao Yao’s tenacity … Continue reading →
Details are coming together for my next most anticipated K-drama now that Descendants of the Sun has premiered. That would be Uncontrollably Fond, or Arbitrarily Fond as I’ve been calling it before but now will switch to Uncontrollably Fond as that’s the official English title KBS is going with. The drama is still filming with the main cast of Kim … Continue reading →
