The shining star in the KBS drama line up last year was weekend hit Young Lady and Gentleman, which is in the tail end of it’s airing period. Female lead Lee Se Hee was a super rookie newcomer with not even a second female lead role under her belt when she was selected as the female lead and the success … Continue reading →
I always feel like Kim Jae Wook and rom-coms are such a tenuous treat that I don’t want to get too excited and spook him from doing more in the future like a skittish colt lol. I feel like he does it perhaps for the paycheck and also because mmmmmmmm he’s so delicious it would be a shame not to … Continue reading →
Both were underdogs before it aired and it’s a validation that something about each drama brings in their viewers. The second episode of newly premiered Sat-Sun dramas Forecasting Love and Weather on jTBC and tvN having Twenty Five, Twenty One both saw ratings increases from their premieres. Forecasting Love and Weather increased from 4.514% to 5.455% and even more impressive … Continue reading →
Well this is unexpected! I’m still waiting to binge both episodes of jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather, since it’s Superbowl Sunday and all and priorities, m’kay. That’s why I don’t know what led up to what may be the fastest workplace romance development in the history of K-drama rom-coms but it was hard not to be spoiled by viewers … Continue reading →
K-actress Park Shin Hye is definitely one of South Korean entertainment’s Nation’s Daughter. Everyone watched her grow up since her debut in Stairway to Heaven and it was like we married off our own daughter/neice/granddaughter when she got married last month to fellow K-actor Choi Tae Joon. This weekend she posted on her SNS a picture from her wedding pictorial … Continue reading →
It’s important to preface that the two new Sat-Sun K-dramas are NOT directly competing with each other for eyeballs. For tvN drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, it airs at 9:10 pm, and over at jTBC the drama Forecasting Love and Weather comes on at 10:30 pm. That makes for what I love most, each drama really competing with itself, does … Continue reading →
PD Lee Gil Bok has worked on many big K-dramas but only recently got to the head PD chair and I think he’s a formidable talent. He directed Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2 and most recently Now, We are Breaking Up, the directing was one of the most consistent positives in that drama. He was interviewed after the drama wrapped … Continue reading →
The Netflix K-drama machine plows on with both original new projects and sequels to successful ventures. Squid Game is already confirmed for a new season and now the platform is in talks for second seasons of three additional original dramas: D.P. (Deserter Pursuit), Hellbound, and the most recent release All of Us are Dead. The reason is the overseas success … Continue reading →
Clearly female lead Son Ye Jin is all over the news right before her new drama Thirty Nine premieres on jTBC on February 16th but it doesn’t feel of promotion that she announced her marriage to Hyun Bin next month and more just squeezing in the break before the next job starts up. The drama has completed filming and will … Continue reading →
Oooooh this looks so good already! The first stills are out for the K-movie Gentlemen and male lead Joo Ji Hoon certainly looks like a streetwise version of one. The movie has Joo Ji Hoon playing a private investigator who is accused of murder and partners with female lead Choi Sung Eung to help clear his name. Choi Sung Eun … Continue reading →
Last year in 2021 there were actually quite a few decent movies and one of the biggest hits (in a pandemic impacted box office) was Escape from Mogadishu. We will never know how much money this movie would have taken in during a normal era but it was still a success and got lots of nominations and wins in the … Continue reading →
Okay this one snuck up on me but seeing all the promos and previews in one batch got me more excited I think since the cast is just so-so for me. Disney+ streaming only drama Grid (original title was Zero) starring Seo Kang Joon, Kim Ah Joong, Lee Si Young. Kim Moo Yeol, and Kim Sung Kyun drops next week … Continue reading →
It’s not easy for a K-drama promo circuit to start off with as positive a bang as MBC is doing for its upcoming fantasy drama Tomorrow but I’m just too happy bemoan why this can’t happen more frequently. The poster has the four leads Kim Hee Sun, Ro Woon, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Yoon Ji On perched at the edge … Continue reading →
