I love me a reunion but this recent trend will hopefully not continue because it is a teensy bit squicky. I saw a preview still for upcoming Disney+ romance drama Kiss Sixth Sense with Yoon Kye Sang and Seo Ji Hye and got super excited because I love them both. And then my drama watching memory kicked in and I … Continue reading →
I’m hoping for a Dali and the Cocky Prince redux here with SBS rom-com A Business Proposal (Office Blind Date), namely really crappy posters and previews but a winning and charming light romance story when it airs. The above official drama poster could not be less interesting if it tried, even a fan spliced drama could be better. It’s a … Continue reading →
Streaming platform Apple TV is a still a newbie in stepping into the K-drama realm so it’ll be interesting to see if the company promotes upcoming Koreans in Japan multigenerational drama/series Pachinko. Netflix has the process down to a science at this point having launched over a dozen self-produced K-dramas in the last two years but Apple TV is starting … Continue reading →
Oh hells yeah! I’m off to say a couple of Hail Marys to the drama gods after this but I have to share the news ASAP. K-ent is reporting that Lee Se Young will be the leading lady opposite Lee Seung Gi in the K-drama adaptation of romantic webtoon Love by Law. Lee Se Young was still in teen actress … Continue reading →
I feel like this drama is more suited to air in the summer, or perhaps since it’s telling a time spanning story through four years then it will also cycle through the seasons as the story ebbs and flows so it’s suitable to air anytime and still deliver the feels. Twenty Five, Twenty One is slated to drop next week … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting tabulation of Netflix shows in terms of popularity. A new list is out through January 30, 2022 showing the cumulative hours watched of each Netflix show. I think it’s more accurate in some ways than number of people who clicked on it because some could watch and then drop it, whereas total hours means the … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to start my Ghost Doctor watch but January 2022 has been a blur so it’s still on my to-start list. But every time I see snippets posted by tvN on its various SNS accounts including Facebook and Instagram I can’t help but watch because those scenes are always interesting. It appears the domestic viewers feel the same … Continue reading →
The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art. Even to the very end, the story conclusion was as expected to the veteran drama watchers (there was no other ending possible), but for those … Continue reading →
This is such an entertaining side-by-side study and makes me appreciate more that at least K-dramas try to reign in themselves when designing drama posters. Since Winter Sonata twenty years ago hit the shores of Japan and planted itself firmly in the watching oeuvre of the Japanese audience, K-dramas have been exported there regularly and with great success from time-to-time. … Continue reading →
It’s not a good new year for TW-actress Ady An as the news cycle has hit her in a negative way. This weekend all the Chinese-speaking newspapers are reporting that Ady’s 49-year old non-celeb rich businessman husband Levo Chen (Chen Rong Lian) was arrested by the Macau police along with another business man on allegations of illegal gambling and money … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is a huge faux pas but it definitely let the cat out of the bag. This weekend K-actress Uhm Ji Won shared a V-log of her and another friend celebrating Park Shin Hye‘s pregnancy, probably an early baby shower of sorts. Park Shin Hye is clearly surprised and super happy, she’s just been radiating joy for … Continue reading →
If there is one fallen celeb I want to yeet himself right off the celeb stage it would be Big Bang‘s Seungri. Alas while he may never have a famous career again I can see him returning to all the dirty money he made over years and continuing to make more dough behind the scenes in private endeavors, so that’s … Continue reading →
This is the last Netflix K-drama to air from that huge batch announced at the beginning of 2021, most of which went on to global viewership exposure with Squid Game being the most famous. All of Us are Dead is a high school setting zombie K-drama with a relatively unknown/rising young cast adapted from the same name webtoon. It dropped … Continue reading →
