My mind isn’t making the connection on whether Zhao Jin Mai and Liu Hao Cun have any project past or present together to warrant this joint pictorial but here it is, two of C-ent’s promising young lead actresses together in one spread featuring Miu Miu. I actually love the emerging from an egg image both have that gamine and very … Continue reading →
So this drama actually sounds interesting in that it’s ripe for a lot of sexual innuendo jokes coupled with a more low brow countryside setting. The next jTBC weekend drama is A Virtuous Business with a very strong cast of Kim So Yeon, Yeon Woo Jin, Kim Sung Ryung, Kim Sun Young, and Lee Se Hee. The drama is set … Continue reading →
I live for constant drama casting roulette because its fun to ponder potential pairings even if it doesn’t pan out. This past month has had a lot of discussion over the casting of the C-drama adaptation of Gu Man novel Blazing Sunlight. Names tossed around, rumors of stars vying for the lead, and now there is another two names rising … Continue reading →
There is a new C-drama that kicked off filming titled Love Beyond the Grave (Chinese title 慕胥辞 Mu Xu Ci) based on a C-novel. Starring Dilraba Dilmurat, Chen Fei Yi, and Wei Zhe Ming, the first pictures are out of the two leads in costume and this drama sure has a lot of black. Dilraba looks great as usual but … Continue reading →
The last two weeks there has been a small-ish scandal in C-ent around a supporting actor named Zhang Hao Wei. He was most recently seen in a supporting role in Joy of Life 2 and in a small budget period drama Fight for Love as the male lead.

The disappointing run of the first chapter of Fox Spirit Matchmaker series Red Moon Pact is still shaking out the timing and expectations for the next two chapters.

So the big C-drama of the spring 2024 season may not just be In Blossom, now we need to add Blossoms in Adversity to it as well. Blossoms in Adversity wasn’t big budget or had a big name cast, and actually started off with criticism of male lead Hu Yi Tian and a general been there-done that impression of the … Continue reading →
So as long as top C-ent troll producer Yu Zheng is just shooting his mouth off and not hurting anybody it can be quite entertaining and this week there is a new beef he has. He posted about a top C-drama A-list actress who just accepted a new drama that Yu Zheng‘s own agency artist Wu Jin Yan passed on. … Continue reading →
This may come as a relief for K-actor Yoo Ah In in that at least he knows what his future is for this uncertain legal issue. The Seoul district court today sentenced the disgraced actor to one year in jail for a host of illegal drug use charges that started a year and a half ago in February 2023. I … Continue reading →
So some AI face swap rumors are false in that it hasn’t happened yet, but there are a few that have or are happening so this is definitely a thing in C-drama land. Peng Guan Ying filmed his replacement scenes for Wu Yi Fan in The Golden Hairpin and now C-actress Hu Yi Xuan is on set filming her replacement … Continue reading →

Modern fantasy thriller mystery C-drama Love on the Turquoise Land has released the first posters and preview a few weeks ago and I’m just getting around to checking it out. Starring Dilraba Dilmurat and Chen Xing Xu, the drama gives off very moody … Continue reading →
I fully plan to watch tvN Mon-Tues rom-com No Gain No Love with Shin Mina and Kim Young Dae, just haven’t had time to start yet. Early reviews have been good so far, and seems like polarizing than same network different time slot rom-com Love Next Door which has stronger feelings either way of loving or disliking it. No Gain … Continue reading →
So if the viewership was even higher for C-drama Are You the One it might be in contention for biggest hit of summer 2024. Alas the viewership was merely good so it makes the Douban opening ratings of 8.0 even more astonishing. I have been watching the drama since it premiered and have mixed feelings. I love the OTP, both … Continue reading →
