I love when a star speaketh not just the truth but what the vast majority of audience members are thinking. Leading lady Kim Nam Joo was out promoting her new drama Wonderful World this week and was a guest on a variety show and was asked about her working with Cha Eun Woo. She explained that once she explained to everyone around her that he was her new leading man the response was full shock with two questions “Are you playing his mom?” and the horror of “You can’t be having a loveline with him?!?!” Kim Nam Joo explained that no, she wasn’t playing his mom, and that she would not be having a loveline with him because the production has a moral conscience, y’know. Hahaha, good for her for tackling the biggest potential ick of this drama and unlike Secret Love Affair where the exact moral taboo was the topic (adultery and older woman/younger man of mother-son age difference) this drama isn’t about that and I’m glad to hear it doesn’t dip in that direction.

I’m normally okay with preemptions these days since it’s been awhile since a K-drama got me addicted but I’m thisclose to be super addicted to MBC weekly rom-com A Good Day to be a Dog and this week’s unexpected non-airing … Continue reading
As a dog mom and a lover of rom-coms I’m feeling more and more excited for upcoming KBS drama A Good Day to be a Dog. Adapted from the same name webtoon, it’s got a silly premise but with the … Continue reading
Until I watched Park Kyu Young in one of my fave rom-coms Dali and the Cocky Prince I didn’t find her all that suitable as a romantic leading lady. Afterwards I realized she’s not just a natural at the rom-com … Continue reading
So its a runaway vote win for idol-actor Junho, netting 21 votes to be the top industry insider experts pick for best young idol turned actor of his gen group. Thirty one industry honchos were each given two votes to … Continue reading
MBC continues to lag in ratings and buzz and I’m not expecting this drama to change much other than I’m curious and interested to watch it. The first stills are out for A Good Day to be a Dog adapted … Continue reading
K-celebs were out on Friday night in Seoul for a Christian Dior brand event that feels like fall is for sure coming from the brand outfits on display. Jisoo has been a very public and touted CD brand spokesperson especially … Continue reading
So Cha Eun Woo turned down that conceptually weird turning into a chicken nugget drama but ended up doing a less weird turning into a dog drama lol. This one sounds like a webtoon artist plugged elements into a random … Continue reading
Last year in 2022 was the first ever Blue Dragon Series Awards as the awards body until then was exclusively a movie awards ceremony. So this year in 2023 its only the 2nd annual Blue Dragon Series Awards and last … Continue reading
