Okay, I am so sat for this now. The latest previews for Genie, Make a Wish have convinced me this is back to being right up Kim Eun Sook‘s alley of taking a totally random set up and crafting a compelling story. I mean, City Hall is still my favorite all-time K-drama even nearly 20 years later. The drama premieres … Continue reading →

This is the first promo from upcoming Netflix fantasy K-drama Genie, Make a Wish that didn’t make me want to laugh at it.

The K-actor 200 list feels really timely, it was likely spurred on by the worldwide success of Parasite last year and of course this year veteran actress Youn Yuh Jung added to the K-ent recognition with her Best Actress Oscar win. I believe this is now week six of the K-actor 200 list reveal and this one is super cute … Continue reading →

Black and white portrait of a thoughtful man.

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.

Short Hair Entertainment Goddesses Entice with Breezy Beauty Perfect for the Summer Heat

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 17, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 15, 2020
Two portraits of a woman with short hair.

I recently noticed that TW-actresses Janine Chang and Annie Chen cut off their decades long hair recently for new acting roles and it totally changes their aura and visuals.

This drama sounds like a mashup of multiple elements from recent thriller themed dramas but heck if done right then go right ahead and try.
