Strike while the iron is hot and it’s no surprise K-actor Jo Byung Kyu is the It Boy to start of 2021 thanks to the success of OCN drama The Uncanny Counter. Sure it’s an ensemble piece but he’s definitely part of the special sauce not to mention he’s been on a roll for the last two years first breaking … Continue reading →
The confirmation for upcoming K-drama Human Disqualification feels a harem for the male lead, lol. I’m teasing but it’s five actresses and one actor so far, so lucky him. K-ent has announced Jeon Do Yeon and Ryu Jun Yeol for the drama Human Disqualification, and yes their big age difference is intentional as the female lead is in her 40’s … Continue reading →
I thought tvN thriller drama Mouse would be airing later into 2021 but it’s actually premiering soon, next month in February in the Wed-Thurs time slot after True Beauty. The production released this week a haunting short teaser preview with child actor Kim Kang Hoon who is playing the kid version of male lead Lee Seung Gi‘s character in the … Continue reading →
Wow, I didn’t expect to actually feel positive vibes for this drama, but the title sounds cute and the pairing is strangely working for me on paper. KBS confirmed the K-drama Daebak Real Estate on its 2021 line up, with leads Jang Nara and Jung Yong Hwa and I’m not sure if it’s a noona-dongsaeng romance or onscreen they will … Continue reading →
After MBC underrated gem Kairos ended, I’ve migrated to tvN thriller Awaken (Night and Day) to satiated the who-dun-it craving in me. When I’m in the mood for procedures then I’m all in, and thankfully Awaken has been there to fill the Kairos sized hole in my drama brain. It’s aired 12-episodes so far so two more weeks left to … Continue reading →
I think Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) could have been so much more script-wise, and has been buoyed by the entertaining execution on the comedic stuff, the gorgeous visuals, and the top notch acting and chemistry of leads Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun. But the problem is that the King Cheoljeong history isn’t particularly ripe for incisive (re)examination and … Continue reading →
C-dramas have been widely criticized for plagiarism for decades, either outright or remaking other stories without paying a licensing fee. K-drama have had the same criticism though far less frequent and more debatable instances. Mere days after hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s new drama was announced, got a female lead in top actress Song Hye Kyo, and revealed the name … Continue reading →
This Saturday was episode 9 of tvN weekend sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and it appears the drama ratings are beginning to keep steady. This episode got 12.066% and the last two episodes were also at 12%, and the same thing happened to hit drama Goblin for a few weekends before it broke and took off again in the last … Continue reading →
I love Jang Dong Yoon but it feels like his three most recent K-dramas are venn diagrams. Tale of Nokdu he played an discarded prince in a Joseon, Search he’s a soldier hunting zombies in the DMZ, and now in upcoming Joseon Exorcist he’s a prince hunting zombies in Joseon. Despite his baby face he’s quite suitable for action pieces … Continue reading →
Looks like filming will start soon now that the full main cast has been inked. tvN romance mystery drama You are My Spring has confirmed the leads Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Dong Wook, Yoon Park, and Nam Gyu Ri. It’s a drama about people who still have immature childish thoughts who live in the same apartment complex, and then a … Continue reading →
Mmmmmmm okay……this was not what I was expecting but am pleasantly more interested in it now. A few days after news that K-actress Song Hye Kyo was reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook for her next drama there is not a title and bare bones synopsis to add color to the project. The drama doesn’t have a network confirmed … Continue reading →
I thought February 2021 was like crazy far away when I first heard that Park Shin Hye was signing on for a sci-fi thriller drama Sispyhus: The Myth with Jo Seung Woo. Yet now it’s like a month away, and wishing to slow down time clearly doesn’t work because I need to stop the next few years before the Koala … Continue reading →
Okay, the two cuties are just wayyyyy too cute, I think I may be able to watch this drama regardless of whether it’s written or directed well. The combo of Kim So Hyun‘s cool perfection and Ji Soo‘s hotheaded earnestness for upcoming sageuk River Where the Moon Rises feels like the ideal opposites attract in both their personas off screen … Continue reading →
