I love K-drama casting rumors and speculations, so much fun to muse over the possibilities, and also to wonder what happened if it didn’t pan out. Were the rumors off, or did something behind the scenes scuttle the signing. A leaked compilation of upcoming dramas and in discussion leads is making the rounds and generating lots of buzz. No way … Continue reading →
Thank goodness new TW-drama Marry Me or Not got even better, validating that this isn’t a one-episode wonder type of drama and delivering yet another fun filled hour of laughs and swoons. My eyes soak up the beautiful eye candy that is Roy Qiu and Alice Ke looking so beautiful onscreen it might be illegal, with an added layer of … Continue reading →
Heart. Broken. Okay, maybe I was just joking on that. Or maybe not, it’s hard to tell since I’m both crying and smiling at the same time upon hearing the news that my Zai Zai is married. Yes, real life married and not just cinematic married. Vic Zhou quietly tied the knot with his long time girlfriend TW-actress Reen Yu on … Continue reading →
Next year K-drama Arbitrarily Fond just turned into the mashup of a Heirs reunion with a What’s Up? with the casting of one new female lead.

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you drama gods for making the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with Each Step) seem less like a potential trainwreck right off the bat.

I haven’t see much of Lee Seung Gi in the media recently, likely because he’s filming the upcoming sageuk movie Marital Harmony with Shim Eun Kyung. If the story and directing is good then the movie is a likely hit since it has all the hallmarks to win the audience interest with popular leads and a cross-class border period romance. … Continue reading →
I’m waiting for a Song Hye Kyo drama that will completely make me fall in love with her, which isn’t all that hard because she’s freaking gorgeous and keeps getting prettier with age. Compared to her Hotelier and Autumn in My Heart days, the current Song Hye Kyo deserves the accolades as one of Korea’s top beauties. The latest ad … Continue reading →
I think I’m already fangirling chubby Shin Mina in upcoming KBS drama Oh My Venus. The real life super skinny actress looks sooooooo cute in a chubby suit persona, in no diss to folks who are slightly rounder in real life the way her character looks in the drama. She’s called fat at 77 kg (around 170 lbs) but I … Continue reading →
Some may think C-netizens are harsh but I find them equal opportunity snarkers. They don’t riff only on foreign things, they are just as candid when it comes to pointing out the crappy stuff coming out of China. Case in point – the C-netizens are having a lulzworthy field day with a local wax museum in Sichuan province, deeming it … Continue reading →
Every time there is a survey of some sort, it’s always entertaining to casually peruse which star has maintained top dog popularity and who may have dropped off a bit. This weekend Section TV did a poll for its 800 episode, asking 800 people to name the Top 8 Big Stars of South Korea. This one sounds like a pure … Continue reading →
The Korean government certainly picked two very photogenic stars to be the face of the Visit Korea campaign, which kicked off this past week with a media ceremony led by South Korean President Park Geun Hye. The Visit Korea push is a two year long initiative to promote tourism in Korea leading up to the country hosting the Winter Olympics … Continue reading →
Nothing much needs to be said other than a big fat congratulations to K-actress Han Groo on tying the knot!

The couple also shot an engagement pictorial for Grazia in what appears to be a tropical setting, … Continue reading →
Now that Crystal Liu has moved on from C-dramas and is a bona fide movie star now, the role of most beautiful C-actress in period costume is up for grabs.
