Hhhhhmmmmm, looking good, leads of Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin! I can breathe a sigh of relief now that the first peek at the two leads of upcoming K-BBJX (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo) can be glimpsed thanks to the prayer ceremony stills. I don’t know why this drama is still being referred to as Moon Lovers in some articles, that was a … Continue reading →
The stars were out at the VIP premiere for indie Korean movie Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet, and the presence mostly skewed young thanks to the headlining star that is Kang Ha Neul. Kang Ha Neul had half of his Korean Bu Bu Jung Xin onscreen brothers on hand to support him from Lee Jun Ki, Hong Jong Hyun, … Continue reading →
The princes of the C-drama version of Bu Bu Jing Xin were all saddled with the unfortunate Qing dynasty male queue hairstyle, but luckily were sporting colorful luxuriously embroidered threads that befit their royal position and helped to quickly identify each one. Looks like the K-drama version is doing the same as the first picture of the cast in costume … Continue reading →
Holy cuteness alert! The first stills are here from the production of upcoming Korean Bu Bu Jing Xin and it’s courtesy of the supremely eye candy filled script reading session. Bobogyungsim: Ryeo (Bu Bu Jing Xin: Splendor) won’t air until the second half of the year (I’m guessing September 2016) after being fully pre-produced and having gotten SARFT approval so the … Continue reading →
I’m always impressed at how hardworking and seemingly tireless some entertainers are. Case in point is Lee Jun Ki, other than his two year military service hiatus, he’s a nonstop star toggling both an acting and singing career, and doing so with an upbeat positive attitude. I feel like he just finished Scholar Who Walks the Night yet here he … Continue reading →
I’m not sure why I remain so optimistic about the upcoming K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin, other than I’m most likely still not jaded as a drama watcher and enjoy the excitement of happy anticipation. Even though I love the novel and C-drama adaptation to pieces, neither are masterpieces without flaws, and what makes them so near and dear … Continue reading →

A day after the leads of soon-to-start-filming period K-drama Moon Lovers confirmed final casting in Lee Jun Ki and IU, now the rest of the cast is also locked down and more importantly got specific character assignments. This is good news even if fans of the original work in novel and C-drama Bu Bu Jing Xin have issues with the K-version casting, at … Continue reading →

You know how all signs points to something most likely going to suck, but the love is just too strong to pass it by without having a glance. That’s how I feel about upcoming K-drama Moon Lovers, the K-adaptation of popular C-novel Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with Each Step). Starting from the inane name change, the whole thing reeks … Continue reading →
Yes, yes, yes! Thank you drama gods for making the K-version of Bu Bu Jing Xin (Startling with Each Step) seem less like a potential trainwreck right off the bat. The production of Moon Lovers has extended an offer to Lee Jun Ki to headline as the male lead, which would be the character in the original novel and C-drama … Continue reading →
Some may think C-netizens are harsh but I find them equal opportunity snarkers. They don’t riff only on foreign things, they are just as candid when it comes to pointing out the crappy stuff coming out of China. Case in point – the C-netizens are having a lulzworthy field day with a local wax museum in Sichuan province, deeming it … Continue reading →
