I swear that tvN drama Castaway Diva (Diva of the Deserted Island) was one of those still far away dramas but with the first teaser released this weekend it’s coming next month in October. That’s wild but not as wild as the premise that an island bumpkin girl gets lost on an even more deserted island for years and years … Continue reading →
Getting popular in another country usually takes one mega hit project and for K-actresses it’s being in a K-drama that happens to be super popular in that country for whatever reason, sometimes even more popular that domestically.

The Forbes Power 40 list for entertainers spans not just actors but also athletes. hosts, and musicians. The 2023 list has BTS once again on top to no surprise, while last year’s number 2 Blackpink swapped spots with number 3 soccer great Son Heung Min for this year. Among the actors/actresses, Song Joong Ki was the highest ranked at number … Continue reading →
The Daesang Award (Grand Prize) is unique in K-ent in that it’s open to all the nominees of the top categories so if someone or a project is THAT good it vaults over the specific category and gets the Daesang. For the Baeksang Awards, there is only a handful of times that an actor/actress has taken home the Daesang and … Continue reading →
This Friday’s Baeksang Awards in Seoul was probably a night of little to no surprises (just one big one) and a lot of satisfied winner picks.

Oh this is going to be a FUN not to mention nail biting year at the 2023 Baeksang Arts Awards coming soon. There are plenty of potential nominees in both the movie and drama categories but the one competition K-ent is most excited over is Best Actress in Television with the thought that it’s a two-way race between Park Eun … Continue reading →
I’m thrilled to see K-actress Kim Hyo Jin back to regular acting rotation, after she married Yoo Ji Tae in 2011 she retired from the public eye for basically 8 years with sporadic smaller projects but since 202 has been back to doing like 1 drama a year.

The drama is titled Desert Island Diva (Deserted Island Diva) and now the full synopsis is out and I slurped up every word. … Continue reading →
Frank honestly is the best policy here and hopefully it buoys production companies to keep improving to create better quality dramas. K-ent and K-netizens both agree that the coming 2022 Year End Drama Awards held by the Big Three networks feel rather pointless since the best performances came from cable dramas. The consensus goes to Park Eun Bin in Extraordinary … Continue reading →
Screenwriter Park Hye Ryun is one of my can’t miss ones when it comes to her K-dramas, the good bits always outweigh the stuff that doesn’t work and she’s also constantly changing up her genres and stories. Starting from I Hear Your Voice to Pinocchio to While You Were Sleeping then Start-up, I’ve enjoyed all those dramas and now she’s … Continue reading →
I’m probably the wrong person to notice British scent house Jo Malone and its CFs and models because I’ve been using their scents for nearly three decades. Since I was a college student studying over there in the early days of Jo having her own boutique in Knightsbridge, it was her Lime, Basil, and Mandarin that is brought me in … Continue reading →
