Well Bloody Heart (Red Single Heart) is now officially a bloody underwhelming entry into the sageuk drama oeuvre, it may end up being a good drama overall but ratings and reception wise it’s a downer for KBS. The network will switch gears in the time slot next with Minamdang premiering at the end of June, a quirky sounding investigative drama with Seo In Guk and Oh Yeon Seo based on the same name web novel. It tells of a criminal profiler turned fortune telling shyster but somehow still a problem solver, matching wits and solving crimes with a tough female detective. The supporting cast includes Kwak Si Yang, Kang Mina, and Kwon Soo Hyun with the PD of Player and the screenwriter of Ruler: Master of the Mask. This drama seems underrated so far in pre-release buzz which makes for hopefully a pleasant surprise from low expectations.

Can’t wait
Yay! Most intrigued by Mina and SIG’s sibling interactions. They even put a fake mole under Mina’s left eye. She looks so adorable with nerdy glasses.
Where are Kwak Si Yang’s stills??? I had a crush on him since Oh My Ghostess. He was so aegyo in his poses. I rather this drama have no buzz and then thoroughly surprise us. June 27th please come faster.
Triple blessings from Gukkie this year. New drama, new movie and new album. All the best!
Long wait almost over. Fighting.
Hopefully kiss and tell when ur ready Minam-nim. Lol.
New stills today. KBS promo not on par with tvn. One more new handsome man.
Thank you Netflix for Alchemy of Souls and Cafe Minamdang. Thought I saw Doom at your service in the list but it’s Doom of love.
About Red Heart being a disappointment for KBS. Not surprising to me — I dropped it after the first episode. I decided to watch Lee Joon’s wonderful performance in Heard It Through the Grapevine again instead.
BH rating 5-6% not that bad compared to Love All Play 1%.
kbs can’t compete with sbs, jtbc and tvn in decent ratings. MLN ended 6.7% AML 10.5%, OB latest 11.8%. Only weekend dramas save kbs.
Him sitting on the throne. Client kneeling on floor. Need this comedy badly.
