The back-to-back-to-back-to-back spate of sageuks in K-ent in 2021 went on a pause after The Red Sleeve Cuff ended, and that was preceded by The King’s Affection, Lovers of the Red Sky, and River Where the Moon Rises. All four had a more youthful bent but now a new darker sageuk is here with KBS premiering Red Single Heart (Bloody … Continue reading →
Man, the zombie genre has become likes the zombies themselves, spawning and unable to be killed. It helps sustain the genre when there are always a hit to be mined from time to time and the most recent zombie outbreak at a school Netflix drama All of Us are Dead confirms it. Now Taecyeon is in talks to star in … Continue reading →
The MBC Fri-Sat night fantasy grim reapers suicide prevention squad drama Tomorrow is getting headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the most fascinating thing is that this drama should work but isn’t working at all to such a noticeable degree it’s making pundit ponder what went wrong. The drama started off with a very promising 7.6% ratings but then … Continue reading →
The types of K-dramas that do well on Netflix run the entire gamut of genres and now we have a fresh new entry in a story line that is quite different.

For example, a parent will say that their precious child did nothing wrong despite the facts. C-netizens go crazy on certain things that are so apt with this saying, but it’s … Continue reading →
I can absolutely accept and understand why Park Bo Gum may not work for everyone, he’s not exactly polarizing but there can be a whiff of try hard with him. But I’m watching Winning Time these past few weeks, partly cuz I bleed purple and gold and partly cuz Mr. Koala is addicted (and I tolerate the wildly dramatized versions … Continue reading →
Oh wow, this is such an important story for many reasons. The first is, thank you Lee Byung Hun! The top actor has been revealed as a key person that helped save Kim Woo Bin‘s life. The actor was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017 and the diagnosis came after Lee Byung Hun urged Kim Woo Bin to go see … Continue reading →
I’m ambivalent towards when K-romances throw in a death, murder, mystery angle, not that it can’t work or that I’ve never liked one before, it’s just not my favorite two things to combine together. From The Girl Who Sees Smells to Suspicious Partner to When the Camellia Blooms, now we’re getting tvN early summer drama Link: Eat, Love, Die and … Continue reading →
At this point I wouldn’t even say K-actress Seo Ye Ji is attempting a “comeback” after her being a manipulative gaslighter girlfriend to Kim Jung Hyun scandal from February 2021 last year. It feels like she merely passed on one project and landed on another and next month she’s back on the small screen with Eve in the Wed-Thurs time … Continue reading →
The question in the next few weeks is whether just finished tvN Mon-Tues drama Military Prosecutor Doberman will remain in the 2nd spot or drop to 3rd with the similar high ratings of still airing tvN weekend drama Our Blues. Military Prosecutor Doberman concluded this week and this drama actually had really high ratings for tvN but remains quite underrated … Continue reading →
It’s not a bad place to be Im Soo Hyang as the titular Woori the Virgin in the upcoming SBS drama, but for the fact that she’s going to be a mom and hasn’t even had sex haha. It’s the remake of the show Jane the Virgin which has broad awareness and seems like a perfect fit for a K-drama … Continue reading →
This is another one of those 1-for-1 swaps that I’m good with either way. K-ent is reporting that Lee Jun Young (Jun) has been offered the male lead in the upcoming K-drama Ildangbaek Butler, the role that last month was in talks with Yoon Do Joon but he’s now passed on the offer. The female lead is going to be … Continue reading →
