I wonder if Kim Eun Sook is trying to make a pointed statement to counter the criticism that her Heirs thematic topic was superficial and slight, what with exploring the emo lives of the uber-rich teen crowd.

It’s been a busy dating news week in K-ent, none bigger than the break up-not broken up rumors surrounding star couple Lee Min Ho and Suzy a few days ago. A little less high profile are the other two dating news breaks this week, but the similarity comes from both being denied as well. So that’s a three swings and … Continue reading →
Of all the announced K-dramas on the horizon, the production with the biggest upside and downside remains the fully pre-produced KBS disaster zone medical drama Descendants of the Sun.

I was pretty nonchalant about the news last month that So Ji Sub was doing web drama filming in Jeju. I’ve enjoyed his dramas in the past and The Master’s Sun was definitely yet another career high point for him, but he’s notoriously unpredictable when it comes to picking his acting projects so it’s no surprise that he followed up … Continue reading →

You know that existential crisis moment when you’re reading a book and land on a sentence and find yourself reading it over and over again because suddenly words don’t compute?
