With this week’s premiere of a new Mon-Tues drama, the gang is set for the coming few weeks in terms of dramas airing and with it comes a sense of ennui and low ratings. I’ll call it the 7-6-5 group as Partners for Justice is averaging 7%, Greasy Melo (Wok of Love) rose a bit this week to 6%, and … Continue reading →
I’m trained to accept that my favorite male actors have to serve nearly two years of military duty and be away from the screen during, but the hiatus of an actress rare nowadays especially when married ones keep on working and even the mommy ones come back after maternity leave.

I feel like the production of upcoming tvN Wed-Thurs drama Why Secretary Kim really knows the goldmine it has thanks to the casting. The overflow of cute promos featuring the pretty of female lead Park Min Young and the handsome of male lead Park Seo Joon is quite obvious but I’m not complaining. The drama premieres this week and even … Continue reading →
It’s so awkward to watch singer-actor Yoochun formerly of DBSK and JYJ resume his public events two years after a very messy and public accusation of rape and subsequent revelations of his salacious personal life. A requirement for star appeal is the public persona projects that fans like and that is impossible to maintain once the curtain falls to reveal … Continue reading →
It’s been a rough 2018 for K-actress Ha Ji Won but life goes on and I am so so happy to see her out and about at a brand event in Seoul this week looking absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

This is one remake that I have confidence will do justice to the original, if only because of the leading man attached. Filming has started on the C-drama remake of Misaeng, itself a popular Korean novel which was adapted into an even more popular K-drama starring Im Shi Wan and Lee Sung Min as the male leads.
