Well the OG 90’s era male K-stars certainly know how to all be drama llamas. There was Seo Taiji and Lee Ji Ah and their secret marriage and divorce, then Lee Byung Hun dating Song Hye Kyo before eventually settling down with Lee Min Jung, Lee Jung Jae dating the Samsung heir’s ex-wife, and now add Jung Woo Sung to … Continue reading →
Oh I love this popcorn! Pass more and slather on the butter please. Surprise late fall C-drama hit Love Game in Eastern Fantasy ended last week and there were complaints of the lack of kissing scenes in the drama. Especially with how bottled up inside male lead Ding Yu Xi‘s character was, I could totally see hot make outs of … Continue reading →
I’m so glad I became a Yu Shu Xin fan after her turn in My Journey to Love and continued to enjoy her in Sword and Fairy 6. She is so polarizing with the love her/can’t stand her extremes that it would be annoying to watch her succeed and everywhere when one doesn’t like her. After the unexpected hit that … Continue reading →

If I were a professor I would absolutely be an easy grader. If you try hard sincerely and the output shows that effort I would acknowledge it, in that sense I’m not very black/white in life or in entertainment offerings. I’ve liked plenty of objectively bad movies and dramas because I enjoyed certain elements of it enough to overlook the … Continue reading →
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possessionĀ of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” No I’m not alleging producer Yu Zheng copied Pride and Prejudice, and even Little Women, but he definitely has assembled the premise of a mom in olden times trying to marry off her daughters. In this case there … Continue reading →

This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her filmography. The ensemble movie where she and Park Bo Gum had a segment Wonderland was a flop and her drama All the Love You Wish For with Kim Woo Bin was filmed but won’t air until 2025. She had a great last two years with … Continue reading →

Tencent is releasing xianxia C-drama The Land of Warriors with Zhou Yi Ran and Zhang Yu Xi on November 25th taking over for Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. Land of Warriors is … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can see potential chemistry between them. K-ent is reporting that Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon has been offered the leads in the K-drama Petty Romance, which from the title clearly establishes its genre. Lee Jung Jae plays a very popular typecast as a detective … Continue reading →
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then I checked my posts and it was over a year ago now. He announced today that he and his wife Katy have welcomed their second child. Their first baby was a little boy born in July 2023 and now this baby is a little girl … Continue reading →
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story, it has to grip the viewers to give it tens of episodes to unfold and take us on a journey. The Story of Pearl Girl even has story in the title but sadly it had a very uninteresting story. Coupled with choppy directing it just … Continue reading →
