I’m glad to see that rising actor Kim Young Dae has a good agency behind him to support his decision to leave the soon to start filming KBS K-drama School 2021. It happened earlier this week and the production company claimed that Kim Young Dae’s departure was unexpected and left them in a lurch to find a second male lead … Continue reading →

A new find for me in 2021 on the male actor front now includes Bae In Hyuk, I really really liked him in recently concluded rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho. He made a one-dimensional second male lead character with a crush on the female lead into someone sincere and memorable. If Jang Ki Yong‘s sweet as pie gumiho who … Continue reading →

The vibe feels like the glass half full peppy cousin of When the Weather is Fine which was the glass half empty melancholy kid on the block when … Continue reading →
When I saw the title for this K-drama I wanted to spork my eyes out. What the hell is Idol: The Coup? Why do the idols want to stage a coup? Wouldn’t leaving the industry be the ultimate coup? Is that what the drama is about, a bunch of successful idols saying “f*#k it!”? But before we can all figure … Continue reading →
