I guess it’s settled now, my baby boy Yoo Seung Ho is indeed human and capable of looking bad. A combination of greasy ahjusshi hair, more dark rose lipstick than most ladies would wear out, and a super shiny forehead, Yoo Seung Ho showed up at a CF fan event looking like he was auditioning for the role of a … Continue reading →
Scholar Who Walks the Night continues to be fun and sexy, exactly the way a fantasy sageuk about bloodsucking vampires and political conspiracies ought to be in capitalizing on what works. The narrative is developing nicely even if the present timeline isn’t nearly as compelling as the stuff from a hundred and twenty years ago. I found human Sung Yul … Continue reading →
This rumor takes the cake for how far out there it is, if it’s true then it certainly might be the biggest scoop of the Asian entertainment year.

Her next movie costars two of the biggest K-actor movie stars to boot in Ha Jung … Continue reading →
Filming is nearly wrapped for upcoming C-movie Go Lala Go 2, the popular novel adaptation of the sequel to the same name hit novel and movie from a few years ago. I’m not complaining that it’s a whole new cast since the three leads are basically three of my favorite Taiwanese entertainers ever in Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou, and Bolin … Continue reading →
I’m back, peeps! The recent weeks long hiatus from drama recaps just happened by extended serendipity rather than conscious decision. As I waited for a new drama to come along that would hook my writing fancy, instead along came vacations and family events and sundry other mundane happenings that sucked up all my free time. And the dramas I ended … Continue reading →
I happened to be on Twitter last night mere moments after Lee Min Ho posted one of his infrequent tweets. I almost didn’t glance at it since celebrity tweets are usually bland anodyne life or project updates, but I’m soooooo glad I paused to take a look because I fairly spit out the drink I just took a sip from. My … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since C-actress Liu Shi Shi had an upcoming acting project I’m actually interested in. That’s not a problem, I’m not the type of viewer or fan that forces myself to like whatever my faves are working on, and I find that a very healthy mentality to keep the opinions as objective as possible. Shi Shi has been … Continue reading →
I’m going to preemptively thank Scholar Who Walks the Night for releasing the most riveting long K-drama preview this year, for me at least but really that’s all I personally care about since I’m the one looking for some drama inspiration. I can’t proffer assurances that it’ll be great but the extended look had me crying (during the scene with … Continue reading →
Can I get a hells yeah for Orion and Origin possibly reuniting in a drama as the OTP? While it’s undeniable that Kill Me Heal Me was the Ji Sung show, and wow how he delivered by going above and beyond the call of duty, the drama wouldn’t have been as good without Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon … Continue reading →
The upcoming drama adaptation of popular webtoon Cheese in the Trap just got uncomfortably crowded in the leading lady category. The biggest casting news dropped first, that idol-actress Suzy was in talks for the college student role opposite confirmed male lead Park Hae Jin. Anytime Suzy’s name is floated publicly for a role it’s sure to garner extensive commentary and this … Continue reading →

I’m starting to wonder if Suzy and Lee Min Ho went the candid route in admitting their relationship three months ago when outed by Dispatch because they basically couldn’t hide their rosy romance glow. The stars were out in full force yesterday at the premiere of upcoming horror fantasy K-movie The Piper (Korean title Guest), with none more shining and … Continue reading →
