I think this drama is either more or less than its ratings so I’ll focus on what’s good and lacking in the end product. Lost amongst the more high profile new K-dramas to premiere this week in mid-February 2021 is second chance what if story Hello, It’s Me. It’s the same concept as 18 Again, Knowing Wife, Go Back Couple, … Continue reading →
I have Kakao TV drama City Couple Way of Love all collected and ready to watch on a casual weekend. The first two episodes I watched didn’t really hook me but was also not bad so I just need to be in the mood for a marathon. That drama wrapped this Tuesday and next week will be the new drama … Continue reading →
This week new K-dramas are piling on like zombies spotting a live human but after we get out from under the backlog there are still more premieres to come in early March. One that I am super looking forward to is Joseon Exorcist with Kam Woo Sung and Jang Dong Yoon, which everyone agrees is just the next chapter of … Continue reading →
I, too, chuckled at the problems pointed out in episode 1 of Sisyphus: The Myth, from when Seo Hae kept crying to her dad, to her escaping from 20 armed agents by climbing on top of a train (suitcase in tow) and then sitting up there wind blowing of course, to the really stupid in every way plane crash to … Continue reading →
K-actress Song Hye Kyo is one of the top actress models I’ve seen in really delivering memorable and engaging fashion spreads. There is only so much “posing” and differences to present but she can go edgy weird or classic elegant and everything in between. That’s why this latest March 2021 Bazaar Korea pictorial for Fendi brand handbags and couture is … Continue reading →
This weekend is the premiere of Vincenzo, taking over the big weekend time slot on tvN from Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen). Starring Song Joong Ki, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Taecyeon, the story is about the male lead who grew up in Italy and become a mafia lawyer who returns to Korea for revenge and to enact his own brand of … Continue reading →
Premiere week continues in K-ent and this Wednesday saw the arrival of new cable network jTBC 10th anniversary Wed-Thurs time slot drama Sisyphus: The Myth. Like its ostentatious sounding title would presume, the drama is a large scale sci-fi action thriller with Jo Seung Woo as a genius engineer scientist and Park Shin Hye as maybe a survivor from an … Continue reading →
After the cutest of cute first meeting moments between leads Kim So Hyun‘s assassin Ga Jin (memory lost Princess Pyeonggang) and Ji Soo‘s Ondal at the end of the first episode of River Where the Moon Rises, I was sold and in it for the long haul. She’s badass and just going through life’s motions she’s been dealt, he’s warm … Continue reading →
K-actor Lee Do Hyun continues with his ascension and doing so with really cool and different ways. He played one of joint male leads in 18 Again, then a memorable supporting role in action horror Sweet Home, and now he’s doing a guest starring role in a high profile thriller Beyond Evil (Monster). Lee Do Hyun will be playing the … Continue reading →
Clearly 2021 is going all in on young romance sageuks and I’m fine with it as long as the casting and production team are solid. KBS is lining up a second half of the year sageuk titled Thinking of the Moon When the Flowers Bloom based on the real life prohibition period in Joseon history. In talks for the leads … Continue reading →
Well this certainly seems like a really random combo that I never thought of before. K-ent is reporting that the casting for upcoming fantasy drama The Immortal (Korean title Bulgalsal which could refer to the mythical creature Bulgasalri as well) is taking shape. There are two male leads Lee Jin Wook and Lee Joon, both are the titular Bulgasal or … Continue reading →
A nice start to the lunar year of the ox so far with no big bad news around the world and for the first K-drama to premiere in this metal ox year KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises is also off to a promising start. The premiere episode this Monday brought in 6.5%, 9.4% ratings in the two part … Continue reading →
I think Park Hae Joon is a great actor, one of the best character actors in his generation considering I always remember his roles more than him as an actor. But goodness does he have “resting jerk face” and none moreso than in last year’s biggest drama hit The World of the Married. I’m glad he’s not typecasting himself anymore … Continue reading →
