The superstar is coming back and if anyone doubts this upcoming K-drama isn’t going to do gangbuster ratings needs to swallow the naysayer pill. Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook is prepping her next K-drama, which we all expected of course but now there is concrete confirmation that her next series will air in March 2020. The genre, plot, and even general theme hasn’t been announced yet but she’s been running through diverse plots so anything is possible.
In reverse chronological order of her most recent hits: period patriotic sageuk Mr. Sunshine, fantasy romance Goblin, medical military melodrama Descendants of the Sun, and teen richie rich riff Heirs, and let’s not forget her shooting for the stars with soul-swapping rom-com Secret Garden. She makes anything work AND brings in the top names along with ratings. If she was an investor I would give her all my money and follow her stock picks, just sayin’.
So this is the drama trolly producer Yu Zheng recently praised as better than Goblin…
So the most recent casting for this drama is now confirmed as the final selection…
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…

I love her works and CANT WAIT. Yes, i am one of her biggest fans. Even some people said her works were cheesy, bla bla bla... I just like most of her projects. She's a genius and yes, if she was an investor, i wont mind give her all my money. Lols
I know PDNim KES is looking for an A List Actors on her 2020 drama. I am wishing she will colloborate with KimSoohyun. I know this is the best timing these two will join forces.
Yeeeess, kim soo hyun is my top list fave actor... I hope so. I also hope for wonbin's comeback in dramaland.
I know who she will cast ?
Hmmm who??
joo jihoon my bet
Oh i really hope so then ?
I’m curious who will be the lucky stars this time?
I'm curious about her plot this time as well. She's a definite hitmaker and always manages to generate buzz, hype and excitement over her scripts which translate to good ratings, whether one personally cares for her dramas or not. Personally, I loved DOTS for its originality (though it had some flaws), fell in love with Goblin; couldn't finish Mr. Sunshine (I dropped it mid-way - no regrets) and utterly detested Heirs, but still I'm excited whenever I learn she'll be releasing a new script. Fingers crossed that it'll be good :-)
Oh! And I liked Secret Garden. I just had issues with how Hyun Bin spoke to HJW in that drama. So disrespectful!
Love DOTs, goblin, detested Heirs and Cannot pass episode 3 of Secret Garden.
Haven’t watched Mr.Sunshine yet so no comment.
Neither DOTS nor GOBLIN. "The City Hall" is the best for me. And CSW and KSA are the most beautiful and favorite couple of my personal KDrama history.
I only like 2 of her dramas "City hall" wich is on of my fav rom com ,the couple was just fantastic , that's what i call explosive chemistry and "gentleman's dignity". Dropped DOTS and Goblin and didn't Watch MR Sunshine . I 'm not fond of her cheesy scripts but it seems that's what the audience wants . Who will be the lucky actors ?
Yes, City Hall is THE best and my top fav of all times!
Agreed!! City Hall is definitely my favorite KES drama by far. I didn’t like Heirs and I liked Secret Garden for the leads. I haven’t liked one since then though.
Just personal preference - not saying they were not good - just not for me.
I stand corrected - I forgot that I really liked A Gentleman’s dignity a lot as well.
DOTS and Secret Garden are the only 2 I’ve started and watched to the end. That is it. Noh Hee Kyung is my perennial favourite scriptwriter for K dramas am waiting for her next drama to drop.She is a legend. ❤️
Mr. SunshIne was gold, GRRM level of story telling tbh. I now am a devoted fan.
Heirs is the worst! Secret Garden started off ok but I could not finish. Goblin and DOTS are heavily complimented by its beautiful cinematography, without the foreign location sets (e.g Quebec for Goblin, Greece for DOTS), I think her cheesy scripts would not gather the same achievements. Did not watch Mr Sunshine so no comment. Wonder who she will cast in this next drama? She usually won't repeat her leads so at least we know who will be out :-)
I don't really like or watch her shows, but it'd be nice if she used her fame to do another Heirs with a huge cast that will propel a lot of talented rookies that need it to fame or at least get noticed.
Her most recent works just built on already popular male leads.
