It’s been sooooooo long since Jo Hyun Jae was on my screen in a project worth watching.

I’m really looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama Oh My Ghost with a low key anticipation, which is the best attitude to have these days when it comes to dramas mostly being a disappointment.

Bolin Chen and Puff Guo are both such well-known TW-entertainers with so many popular projects under their belts that each has costars that fans are attached to seeing paired as a couple. I certainly loved Bolin with Ariel Lin in In Time With You, their chemistry and not necessarily their romance narrative, and Puff with both Aaron Yan in Just You … Continue reading →

Casting is firming up for upcoming big-budget Chinese-Korean joint produced movie Bounty Hunter, but beyond the two popular male leads I’m not sure anything else is needed to lure in the eyeballs.
