Looks like K-dramas are getting into the makjang female lead time travel revenge stories that C-dramas do often.

In the early days of K-drama watching there was a lot of fan casting and fan drama writing, the kind of what-ifs that viewers make up for their fave stars and fun genres. The Remarried Empress is like one of those fanfiction creations come to life, with the insane casting of four top stars as leads in Shin Mina, Lee … Continue reading →
I love that K-dramas went here twenty years ago in Coffee Prince already, and now we get a CP worthy follow up where the cross-dressing female lead can pass for a very good looking flower boy metrosexual young man. tvN has on deck next month the K-drama Love in Disguise where Im Shi Wan plays a chaebol heir under suspicion … Continue reading →
