I don’t think anyone would say 2020 was a good year but for some there were good things about the year. For those actors and actresses that had great dramas or movies this year, it’s something to be proud of and to be acknowledged rather than just trashing what has been a tumultuous 12 months. Moon Chae Won saw a … Continue reading →
While I can totally see why real So Young tried to commit suicide and maybe even wished she was somebody else and then transferred souls with modern day chef Bong Hwan. But in Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) a lot of the hijinks aren’t really gender driven and more modern day person attitudes transplanted to Joseon era for shocks and laughs. … Continue reading →

tvN Sat-Sun drama Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) has proven itself to be the winning ride for the network to end 2020 on, with episode 5 today increasing again in ratings to 11.337%. I personally like but don’t love it, it’s entertaining whenever I sit down to watch but I’m not actively wanting to see what happens to the story. My … Continue reading →
Big Three network SBS is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary this year, with 30 years of churning out addicting and middling K-dramas alike. But in that three decades there are certainly epic takes of derring do and makjang revenge perfectly executed, of romance that spans Paris to the stars, so the network is asking fans to pick out. There is a … Continue reading →
Call it two birds, one stone, as the cast of upcoming 2021 sageuk drama Moon Rising Over the River (River Where the Moon Rises) gave fans a sneak peek at the filming and sent Christmas wishes. It must be so cold to be filming lots of outdoor action sequences right now during December not to mention it’s holiday season so … Continue reading →
Ooooh, a fun game, I want to play too! SBS is opening up a bulletin board with a poll open for 1 week asking viewers which of its drama OTPs do the fans want to see reunited in another drama again. Remember, only SBS dramas but there are sooooo many classics and great pairings to choose from. Currently viewers have … Continue reading →
December has been chock full of great new drama arrivals so perhaps it’s smarted to have noona-dongsaeng romance Sunbae Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick (She Will Never Know) premiere in January 2021. I didn’t think I would be that excited for this drama but I am solely for male lead Ro Woon. He’s the reason I finished Extraordinary You, … Continue reading →
I know Hyun Bin is hawking very very expensive menswear watches for this January 2021 Esquire Korea pictorial but I’m taking away his four thoughts communicated to me as a fan. First he’s curious, trying to ponder why he’s just so smexy and fans love him. Then he’s hiding under the lapels of his great coat, a little sheepish that … Continue reading →
The year isn’t over just yet, but it’s certainly countdown time as Christmas is both that magical holiday and the one that starts the single digit trek towards new year’s day. Christmas 2020 will either be business as usual for you or totally different, either way may it be merry and safe and filled with comfort to all. Lots of … Continue reading →
I’m glad that SBS is still holding its year end SBS Drama Awards and that its decided to forgo tradition that makes it like a year end party and do it social distanced in a time of increasing yet again COVID counts. The network will not have all the attendees sit in round tables below the stage and instead winners … Continue reading →
