Squeeeeee, a same gen idol-actor combo that sounds so perfect paired up now!

He’s in 2PM and she’s of course … Continue reading →
Well, why am I not surprised that if someone wants to throw more money at Arthdal Chronicles then it will indeed get made. The second season of the period drama, always expected in terms of narratively as the drama ended on a major cliffhanger and barely seemed to scratch the surface of the story, will be coming in 2023 and … Continue reading →
I think the production went out of its way to not have the word virgin in the title as the Korean title for the Jane the Virgin remake is called From Today We Are but the English title is now mirroring the original called Woori the Virgin. Im Soo Hyang is the titular Woori who is of course still a … Continue reading →
There has been so much talk recently about how haphazard Disney+ has been with its promos of K-dramas and with the quality of its offerings but I’m good with fail and try try again mentality so up next for the Mouse is a different theme and age range.

This is like taking a nap while it’s sunny out and waking up to thunder and lightning a mere hour later. MBC Fri-Thurs drama Tomorrow, based on the same name webtoon about grim reapers rescuing suicidal people, premiered at a really promising 7.6% ratings in episode 1 but since then has fallen and then fallen some more. Episode 2 went … Continue reading →
This is looking like a case where I’m so clueless as to what to expect it makes me more curious, so kudos to Link: Eat Love Kill for piquing my interest by being so random. Another teaser is out for the K-drama starring Yeo Jin Gu and Moon Ga Young, where he plays a chef that starts to feel her … Continue reading →
MBC PD Jung Ji In has been with the network for 10 plus years but her breakout with her most recent drama the sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff has been so worthy of the praise and success.

There was nothing glaringly wrong about Park Min Young‘s last drama Forecasting Love and Weather which is best described as starting off beautifully and slowly petering into nothingness. Like a common weather pattern that once it passes it won’t be remembered. The writing was the weakest link but cast and director couldn’t add anything more either to buoy the effort, … Continue reading →
In a blink of the eye there is now a fully complete 4-episode run of romance K-drama Soundtrack #1 to binge if you subscribe to Disney+. It’s either a lot of people don’t pay the Mouse for streaming or this drama isn’t that buzzy because it’s been pretty muted on the netizen commentary and feedback.
