I’ll qualify that I am NOT watching Melancholia, the entire premise is wholly unpalatable for me personally and no amount of Lee Do Hyun love can induce me into tuning in. With that said, I do have eyes and when Lee Do Hyun pics and updates appear I still glance at it, and that’s how I learned that Melancholia had … Continue reading →
These two leads are currently in less that stellar reviewed dramas but I still love them very much so have hopes their next drama together will reverse this slump. Song Hye Kyo and Lee Do Hyun are now confirmed for the upcoming Kim Eun Sook penned revenge drama The Glory. It’s an 8-episode per season multi-season drama, think Penthouse, and … Continue reading →
I may have spoken too quickly when episode 13 of The King’s Affection hit 10% ratings because since then it’s not been able to surpass it. The next two episodes got 9.6% and 9.9% and the most recent episode 16 dropped to 8.8%. There are four more episodes left but I really wanted a sageuk to break free this year … Continue reading →
The smaller cable channel OCN has had a quiet year with no drama making big waves in ratings or buzz. Perhaps next year in 2022 will see something spark and one drama on the slate is in casting calls now. K-actor Ong Seung Woo has been tapped for the male lead of Blind, a drama not about an actual blind … Continue reading →
The seesawing opinions on the promo stream for upcoming jTBC drama Snowdrop continues and this latest delivery is definitely high quality stuff. The character posters are out for the drama featuring leads Jung Hae In and Jisoo framed by a shattered glass to their right shoulder. They are facing the same direction in the posters but he’s looking downward and … Continue reading →
Erm, no need for panic? Yet? I don’t know, other than this is just two separate cases that happen to hit the news waves on the same day. First K-actor Go Kyung Pyo tests positive for COVID-19 and enters quarantine. Like I said last week, the positive tests in K-ent seems to be at least 1 a week but nothing … Continue reading →
Not only are ratings rising for MBC Fri-Sat drama The Red Sleeve Cuff, it feels like viewers are actually watching the drama intently to the point of being able to solidly critique. Male lead Junho has been getting tsunami levels of praise as the Crown Prince, especially in the last two episodes, with so much more runway for him to … Continue reading →
I said I was going to use Thanksgiving weekend to catch up on dramas and in a case of eeny-meeny-miny-mo I landed on Netflix K-drama Hellbound. I should have finished Squid Game instead, because oh my god was I bored but also like a runner in a marathon stuck with it trying to get some answers and satisfaction. Sadly I … Continue reading →
Wow this drama moves fast and is apparently filming already. Last month Han So Hee was announced to be doing a short musical drama but it’s later clarified to not include singing but instead is a music themed drama set in the industry and also a cohabitation drama between the leads who have been friends for 20 years before feelings … Continue reading →
I love that Yumi’s Cells tells the story of Yumi first and foremost so that all the other leads are there to play the people in her lives without trying to claim the spotlight. Ahn Bo Hyun was amazing and perfect as first season lead Gu Woong but his period in Yumi’s life came to its natural conclusion and second … Continue reading →
This may be the last ratings related post for the direct ratings match up between Fri-Sat prime time competitors MBC‘s The Red Sleeve Cuff and Now, We are Breaking Up on SBS. Unless something drastic happens to shift the momentum in terms of the narrative to induce viewers to change channels, the victor is clearly with Red Sleeve which has … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN drama Bad and Crazy has been coy about what the correlation or relation between the titular bad and crazy two male leads will be but it’s hard not to jump right into the Fight Club references especially since the promos play it up. Clearly Wi Ha Joon‘s crazy dude is Lee Dong Wook‘s bad guy’s subconscious good but … Continue reading →
In the least surprising news ever, really just when and not if, episode 5 broke apart the competition in the Fri-Sat time slot between two direct prime time drama competitors. Both MBC sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff and SBS romance Now, We are Breaking Up air at 10 pm and neither is a cable channel so it’s available to anyone … Continue reading →
