I love a positive breakout story and the male lead of Moving definitely earned it. Young actor Lee Jung Ha went from just starting out his entertainment career with small parts in a few dramas to headlining the buzziest K-drama of 2023. To play bumbling sweet natured fly boy Kim Bong Seok, he put on 30 kgs of weight to … Continue reading →
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 →
So those who watched the weirdo makjang time-travel drama Lady Durian will get the same whiplash feel for the set up of this upcoming MBC drama The Story of Widow Park’s Marriage Contract. The drama stars Lee Se Young as a Joseon newlywed wife whose husband Bae In Hyuk dies on their marriage night and she gets tossed in a … Continue reading →
Netflix has released the first posters and promo teaser for its next K-drama Doona! airing on October 20th. It’s adapted from the webtoon Lee Doo Na! and the exclamation mark just emphasizes the star struck aspect of Suzy‘s female lead who is a top idol that leaves the industry and moves into a college student share housing. Yang Se Jong … Continue reading →
Small cable network ENA continues to deliver little dramas that could and the latest one is The Kidnapping Day, which premiered last week and in four episodes has managed to double its ratings. It started at 1.833% and the most recent episode 4 got 3.605% and in the interim has been racking up buzz and good reviews. Starring Yoon Kye … Continue reading →
So I always wondered what reclusive but insanely handsome and talented Won Bin‘s career could be like if he did one drama/movie a decade and just picked the best thing he came across that could tempt him. That is what Jo In Sung has done at least for his drama career and it’s a thing of beauty, every drama he … Continue reading →
It’s quite fitting that a court hearing for a famous K-star ends up with a moment straight out of a makjang drama. K-actor Yoo Ah In attended court today for the resubmission of an arrest warrant from the South Korean prosecution office. After the three hour hearing, as he was escorted out by authorities, a person ran up to him … Continue reading →
After a few year’s hiatus, C-actress Wu Jin Yan is back with C-drama The Double that is also produced by Yu Zheng so she really is tied at the hip with him after he made her super popular with Story of Yanxi Palace but couldn’t really sustain that in follow up projects. The male lead is Wang Xing Yue and … Continue reading →
K-actress Go Yoon Jung may be going back to one well that made her famous and another that is known for elevating actors to next level. On the heels of the conclusion of Disney+ drama Moving where she played one of the three main high school leads, and did such a wonderful job, she’s been offered the lead in PD … Continue reading →
SLOW CLAP. Seriously, slow f*cking clapping here as I just finished watching the just released final 3 episodes of Moving, the little K-drama with the superpowered heart that may have just given Disney+ a new leash on life. Sadly the drama in the US is airing on Hulu which sucks donkey balls with commercials every 5 minutes leading me to … Continue reading →
So a bit of dating news to liven up the mid-week hump. K-actor Kwak Si Yang is off the bachelor market and he’s confirmed the rumor that he’s dating Heart Signal 2 star Im Hyeon Joo. She was already working as an actress before doing the dating game show so clearly she found love a different way in real life. … Continue reading →
So modern workplace and romance C-drama Sunshine by My Side ended recently and I feel like it’s the same with so many of Xiao Zhan‘s recent dramas – praise and positivity for his performance with no impact on his popularity but a mixed bad of complaints with the overall drama. This one got okay ratings, I actually think The Longest … Continue reading →
Summer 2023 K-dramas have been just okay except for the breakout hit Moving on Disney+ but it’s time for the spate of fall 2023 K-dramas to arrive. A bunch of posters have been released in the recent week so it’s more fun to showcase all the upcoming dramas in one post. Old school KBS sageuk Goryeo-Khitan War dropped the desolate … Continue reading →
