So I don’t know if this is indeed cause and effect, but there is a trend that’s worth pondering. Cable channel ENA was seeing a hit on its hands with rom-com Tastefully Yours starring Kang Ha Neul and Go Min Si. It premiered to 1.591% ratings and reached a high of 3.404% in episode 5, more than doubling the views. … Continue reading →
A new bullying allegation has emerged in K-ent and this one allegedly points at K-actress Go Min Si. Her new ENA drama Tastefully Yours with Kang Ha Neul started airing two weeks ago to a solid premiere and has doubled in ratings so is doing quite well for a small cable offering. But over the weekend there was an anonymous … Continue reading →
Oh I love this so much! We now have a title for the next Hong Sisters drama and it’s called Grand Galaxy, and even better we have a brief snippet about it and the drama is described as a male lead version of Hotel Del Luna whatever that means. I take it as fantasy genre, maybe sci-fi with the galaxy … Continue reading →
With so much distraction the last few weeks in K-ent it’s nice to get back to regular business and none bigger than the 2025 Baeksang Awards nominations which came out this week. On the drama side, When Life You You Tangerines led the pack with the most nominations across Best Drama, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, … Continue reading →
It’s thanks to the good graces of these two being talented actors that they have worked together multiple times and in the different iterations it all works. News has it that Lee Do Hyun is considering the offer to be the male lead in the next Hong Sisters drama in development, and if he accepts it will likely reunite him … Continue reading →
So this is a big casting news so rather frustrating to have zero anything substantive about it. K-ent is reporting that Cha Eun Woo and Go Min Si have been offered the leads in the next Hong Sisters K-drama, with some saying Go Min Si is confirmed while Cha Eun Woo is still considering. There is no information about the … Continue reading →
If Song Kang is the son of Netflix then maybe Go Min Si is becoming the daughter of Netflix on her own sweet time. It’s been a stellar summer for the actress as she has been in back-to-back Netflix K-drama hits, with Sweet Home 3 in July and now thriller The Frog in August. She was always great in SH … Continue reading →
This week the event called the NEWSIS K-EXPO took place and was sponsored by many Korean agencies and government groups including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, Seoul Metropolitan Council, Korea Creative Content Agency, and Seoul Tourism Organization.

The 2024 Baeksang Arts Awards took place this Tuesday May 7th in Seoul and it was also the 60th year of the event so a milestone for sure. There is a lot to digest so let’s get to it! Moving took home the drama side Daesang and I knew that would happen when Best Drama went to My Dearest so … Continue reading →
So this news is surprising but I won’t read too too much into it yet. K-net this week reported that both Lee Jong Seok and Go Min Si have declined the drama I am Against My Own Romance at the same time. The drama is from the PD of Descendants of the Sun and has pre production buzz due to … Continue reading →
I still remember when Sweet Home was released around Christmas in 2020 and wow was it a fun ride. I still like the webtoon better (more character development) but the drama cast well and brought the wild humans turning into their id monsters conceit to life. Today Netflix released Sweet Home 2 on December 1st earlier than the holiday season … Continue reading →
I didn’t follow the K-movies this year so I don’t even know if any of the winners were the right ones lol but I still love awards ceremonies for the glitz and glamor. It was the usual level of awards show dressing for the 2023 Blue Dragon Awards which fetes the best in film with plenty of A-list and rising … Continue reading →
I find Lee Jong Seok‘s career a very steady and more selective since he came back from military service in 2021. He used to do at least one K-drama if not two a year and that made sense since he was building and cementing his acting resume. Since discharge he did the successful thriller drama Big Mouse in 2022 and … Continue reading →
