It takes two to tango but why do I get the sense that jTBC is showcasing one lead more than the other, and perhaps not for the reasons of favortism. The first teaser preview is out for upcoming period romance Snowdrop and it’s as softly lit and focusing more on mood as expected. I see so much more on male … Continue reading →
Okay, I legit LOVE this poster. It’s not original per se but it just washes over me with this epic period romantic vibe for upcoming jTBC drama Snowdrop.

I hope this second brush with high fame is smoother sailing because I can’t handle the whiplash, and honestly if the worst thing Jung Hae In did was coming across as a presumptuous tryhard when he stood in the middle of the Baeksang winners picture then it’s time to move on. K-netizens have done so after his fantastic turn in … Continue reading →

But then he followed that up with good … Continue reading →
I feel mentally exhausted from yet another scandal in K-ent so time for eye ball cleansing positive bleach!

After Joseon Exorcist was excoriated for demeaning King Taejong by fictionally portraying him as slaughtering citizens after hallucinating they … Continue reading →
The KOFIC assembled Korean Actors 200 list (consisting of both actors and actresses) is already fodder for discussion with fans wondering why their faves may or may not have been included. This is definitely a movie (Chungmuro) driven list so straight up drama stars will likely not make it and many of the included may not be household names but … Continue reading →
Come one, come all, come get all your oppa and dongsaeng childhood pictures galore and marvel at how everyone grew up into the hotties we know today.
