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. The K-drama Kiss Sixth Sense is scheduled for a May 25th release … Continue reading →
The return of K-actor Kim Sun Ho to his entertaining acting career is not a question of if but when, and it appears the first steps are being taken. This week he was snapped by K-ent and with lots of fans waiting for him at Incheon Airport for his return to South Korea after an extended stay in Thailand filming … Continue reading →
Oh noes, get well soon Lee Jun Ki! His agency announced this week that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will be in quarantine until he’s recovered. Filming for his currently airing second chance drama Again My Life will be halted since he’s the male lead and basically in most of the scenes. The drama is actually gaining traction, with … Continue reading →
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. In a recent media discussion, she shared how she brought the female gaze to the drama which made it distinctly different than the … Continue reading →
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. Is it too slow burn, … Continue reading →
I liked the original Korean title literally translated into English better – Red Single Heart can mean a lot of things but once you call it Bloody Heart it just means one thing, rocks falls down to come. New character posters and drama stills came out this week as we are just two weeks away from the May 2nd premiere … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting change of forum, which means the initial reports of the airing network wasn’t final. K-ent is reporting that upcoming legal drama Big Mouse (Big Mouth) with Lee Jong Seok and Yoona is in talks to air on MBC in the Fri-Sat time slot in July of 2022. In all earlier reports and posts about this … Continue reading →
Okay, now I can start whipping out my collection of Oh Gong and Bu Ja pictures from Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). I can still remember writing about the amazing chemistry between Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young and wishing they were leads in a drama together. It’s taken 5 years but now they are confirmed for legal drama Love … Continue reading →
Okay, now I’m getting annoyed and I really was fine with Kim Hye Yoon being like a supporting actress role in Snowdrop to newbie Jisoo but now it’s getting ridiculous. On what planet is she is the second lead to Choi Yi Hyun, who granted broke out with All of Us are Dead and prior to that was part of … Continue reading →
