The buzzy Sat-Sun dramas are rounding the corner to finishing and ratings are basically steady from weekend to weekend so not much to report on that front. But this Saturday’s episode 13 of Twenty Five, Twenty One was a cathartic one for viewers as there was a major kiss scene and done so well it’s primed to rocket up to … Continue reading →
Seeing Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae collaborating in a new fashion pictorial, it’s clear both have model backgrounds because it’s a visual lesson in how to pose and preen, Models have one second to deliver an impression whereas acting is longer and more varied, so some models suck at acting because every image appears stiff and posed. I … Continue reading →
Following on the heels of the first stills of leads veteran Lee Joon and Kang Han Na in upcoming sageuk Red Single Heart, we have the dark and brooding stills of veteran lead Jang Hyuk. He plays the antagonist in the drama but it’s not so clear cut that he’s a baddie, he’s just on the other side of the … Continue reading →
Well that only took 17 years lol, but better late than never. K-actress Han Ga In will be guest starring in one episode of 1N2D (2 Days & 1 Night) that will air in April 2022. It will be her first time on television in a program alongside her husband actor Yeon Jung Hoon since they tied the knot in 2005. He’s … Continue reading →
Well this could be considered an upgrade or downgrade for K-actress Kim Se Jung, but my feeling is that she likes challenging herself and being versatile so this looks like a great project. Kim Se Jung will be headlining the second half of 2022 K-drama Today’s Webtoon, which is a remake of the 2016 J-dorama Juhan Shuttai which was adapted … Continue reading →
I wish there was more to jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Thirty Nine then just writing about its steady ratings. It’s got no buzz in K-ent and among K-netizens, and I know since I cover K-dramas and the buzzy ones are always trending high whether from raves or rants. This drama is just kinda there and if it wasn’t headlined by Son … Continue reading →
I don’t know if I disagree with this decision on a practical level because so many people were involved and affected by the scandal when it broke in 2021. KBS college era drama Dear M was fully filed and scheduled to air in spring of 2021 when it was pulled on the heels of bullying allegations against female lead Park … Continue reading →
This is a double accomplishment for currently airing SBS drama A Business Proposal for finding success on Netflix in streaming. On March 23, 2022, the drama hit #4 on the worldwide viewing chart and on the US list it was #8. That feat is even more amazing considering it’s the highest ever for any romance K-drama to reach, but then … Continue reading →
I thought one mediocre Joseon prohibition era drama this year was one too many already but now there is a second one coming. Earlier this year I was totally underwhelmed with Moonshine (Thinking of the Moon When the Flowers Bloom) and now another sageuk is being prepped dealing with the same topic. Bootleg (Korean title Milje) has an offer to … Continue reading →
I’m keeping expectations low for upcoming KBS drama Red Single Heart, because it’s a recipe for disappointment if I ride the high praise of recent sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff and expect the same quality. With that said, this sageuk definitely has the pedigree on the casting of the leads – Lee Joon plays the young King, Kang Han Na … Continue reading →
Okay, this drama looks amazing but also creepy as heck. It gives off The Guest vibes and OMG I loved that drama so much even though it was heck hard to watch. The first posters and teaser is out for April 2022 TVing streaming drama Monstrous, giving 2021 breakout star Koo Kyo Hwan his first leading man role paired with … Continue reading →
The latest episode 8 of A Business Proposal wasn’t as snappy and uproariously charming as episode 7 but it maintained the high energy and movement forward. This episode also went back up over 10% in ratings to a new high of 10.8% and it’s well deserved because Ahn Hyo Seob is really much better in these two episodes which makes … Continue reading →
I’m on such a happy light drama buzz thanks to the early half of Forecasting Love and Weather and now A Business Proposal that this good vibe is extending to a lot of optimism for upcoming tvN drama Shooting Star. The new batch of stills and official poster are just average but Kim Young Dae is bringing a great sense … Continue reading →
