It’s rare that a drama ending is so satisfying it redeems all the flaws earlier but that’s how See You in My 19th Life made me feel. Notice I didn’t say great or perfect because it’s not, but the story stayed tight and consistent to telling the many lives of Ji Eum and what it means to remember and also … Continue reading →

I’m still a bit bloated from watching too many C-dramas recently, even with the ones I dropped it’s still A LOT of dramas to be binging thanks to the glut of releases in the past month.

The promos for this upcoming jTBC drama absolutely sell very specific product and for some reason it’s just not for me. The next Sat-Sun drama from the cable network will be Behind Your Touch starring Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho and it seems like a cross between Hometown Cha Cha Cha and a Stephen Chow movie. Han … Continue reading →
Wow, I can see this very drama premise triggering since it deals with a very distressing act that sets things in motion. Hopefully there is a trigger warning and then the rest of the drama tries its darnedest to make it not happen. tvN has scheduled a new drama with the literal title Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback … Continue reading →
I really appreciate the South Korean awards being willing to share the voting thought process and tabulations after the ceremony, it lends more legitimacy to the winners even if there is always bound to be behind-the-scenes elbowing at play. The Blue Dragon Series Awards held its 2nd annual ceremony this week and it fetes the online funded streaming dramas some … Continue reading →

Oh, so this drama totally has a past life component, which is what ties leads Ro Woon and Jo Boa together in the present day in upcoming jTBC drama Destined with You. Neither are strangers to this very conceit, Ro Woon has it in Extraordinary You and Jo Boa dealt with it in Tale of Gumiho, and in both cases … Continue reading →
It’s additional promo time for tvN drama My Lovely Liar leads Kim So Hyun and Minhyun in a magazine pictorial.

So the first time I heard of When I Fly Towards You were from viewers commenting here about how it’s so much better than Hidden Love and the two are being compared because (1) it’s from the same writer Zhu Yi, and (2) both C-dramas aired at the same time this June 2023. Hidden Love was the “bigger” drama because … Continue reading →
