It was just the angle because in real life they don’t look … Continue reading →
I see The Uncanny Counter 2 as the tvN Sat-Sun placeholder to the arrival of Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun. I can’t say AR2 is going to be better than the first season in 2020 but that drama set the bar so low it’s hard to imagine this aged up installment will fare worse.

September 22nd baby, mark your calendars for some Kim Nam Gil level ass kicking to come! Not to the viewers but to the evil baddies in the upcoming Netflix period action drama Song of the Bandits, that makes for a more rip roaring version of Mr. Sunshine. While the poster above harkens back to the now classic Joseon Gunman, the … Continue reading →
It’s probably a good a time to be a K-drama airing soon on Disney+ because the platform finally has the major hit its been looking for with superhero drama Moving. There are accolades aplenty but even more important there is non stop buzz about it, with two episodes a week even allowing time for the drama to keep growing more … Continue reading →
For a drama with such a serious and dark title the two leads sure are sending massive romantic chemistry vibes. Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon currently star in SBS Thursday drama The Killing Vote, an ensemble piece about a vigilante enacting his own death penalty. I haven’t checked it out yet but coming across this Allure Korea pictorial … Continue reading →

Put this is in the no need and even worse case scenario a really bad idea category. C-drama is going to remake critically beloved K-drama Flower of Evil, one of the best dark and twisty melodramas in recent years airing on Youku in 2024. It’s called Deceit and will star Chen Xiao and Yang Zi Shan, so thank god no … Continue reading →

The first by the wide margin is The Glory, which premiered … Continue reading →
