This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →
I feel like some actors or actresses are in one project after another while others infrequently produce new fare. K-actress Moon Ga Young is one of those back-to-back-to-back and beyond actresses and with her upcoming Link she’s now signed on for another drama the romance Understanding of Love. And before that she had True Beauty and that followed Find Me … Continue reading →
The more Lee Joon Hyuk the merrier, and he continues to be one of K-ent’s most versatile and willing to try different level role male leads.

There are plenty of K-dramas in the pipeline but not every project is high profile or big buzz. The upcoming K-drama adaptation of TW-drama Someday of One Day is both, it’s called Into Your Time and stars Jeon Yeo Bin, Ahn Hyo Seob, and Kang Hoon. Each is coming off a big breakthrough hit in their respective careers as the … Continue reading →
Revenge is a dish best served cold but try as I might this entire plot just sounds absurdly implausible and therefore comes across as silly. Upcoming K-drama Eve sells itself with overwrought visuals and intense emotions on everyone’s faces but the core revenge that sets the train in motion is predicated on the thin possibility that a cold, calculating billionaire … Continue reading →
I was totally not expecting this drama to arrive so soon but it’s a happy surprise that KBS will premiere The Jinx’s Lover next month in June in the Wed-Thurs time slot following Love All Play (The Speed Going to You 493km).

Gosh, I was hoping for the recent resurgence in popular buzzy dramas to continue with newcomers keeping the viewership. But alas it does not appear to be the case. Last week KBS premiered Red Single Heart (Bloody Heart) in the Mon-Tues time slot and the ratings for the first week were 6.3% and 6.0% but then this Monday ratings for … Continue reading →
Nearly doubling the ratings these days is a success into itself and for breaking the double digit ratings mark it also a major win. SBS Fri-Sat drama Again My Life did just that this weekend, with Friday’s episode 9 hitting 10.1% and Saturday’s episode 10 dipped slightly to 9.6%. It’s definitely a moderate success for SBS with higher ratings than … Continue reading →

Okay, so goes every Jane the Virgin so far the exact same story line and progression, and I guess I’m wondering which guy she ends up with. The boyfriend or the accidental baby daddy?

That’s a great start but only time will … Continue reading →
