The last Fuji TV Getsu9 (Monday @ nine) dorama I watched was the thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable 5-ji kara 9-ji made (From Five to Nine) with Yamapi and Ishihara Satomi.

Starring Jung Woo Sung and Jo In Sung, it’s basically the original flower boy with the second generation flower boy, and may just have needed a Lee Min Ho to … Continue reading →
The entree into K-ent looks to be complete for TW-actor Bolin Chen as he inks the final missing piece in his resume.
