I’m super sad my most anticipated River Where the Moon Rises didn’t have a strong script or directing and now further falls apart with the replacement of the male lead. I’m a tad worried … Continue reading →

There’s a whole lot of new casting news around upcoming SBS K-drama Joseon Exorcist which had earlier confirmed male leads Jang Dong Yoon and Kam Woo Sung, with Park Sung Hoon as the third male lead.

Lee Seo Won has been charged with sexual harassment and threatening assault with a weapon for … Continue reading →
