Well this is a nice pairing and a drama genre that works well for both. Kim Kang Woo and Su Ae will be the leads for mid year 2021 jTBC drama Working City, a thriller about covert actions and sacrifices to maintain society, and the scheming people who covet more power and wealth. I’ve really enjoyed the more tense thrillers … Continue reading →
I don’t think Kim Eun Sook is an award winning level of pure writer but her dramas are undoubtedly always worth a watch, whether to enjoy or kvetch or both. It’s no surprise that many of Korea’s top actors and actresses have chosen to star in her works, even Jeon Do Yeon who is considered the most legit true actress … Continue reading →
Almost every one of my actor baes came back with a K-drama in 2020 but Song Joong Ki was one of the few who didn’t. But he’s primed on deck to be one of the first in 2021 as filming has commenced for early 2021 tvN drama Vincenzo. I don’t think the cast can travel to Italy for the overseas … Continue reading →
Man, it feels like everyone was on vacation the last week of 2020 and have returned to work this first week of 2021 on crack levels of news dropping. K-actress Song Hye Kyo will be making her next drama return with the confirmed casting as the female lead in hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s upcoming project. There is no title … Continue reading →
So one hand declines one other and the other hand signs on to another, thanks for not letting me wait for news Kim Soo Hyun-sshi! The top actor recently passed on Netflix drama Finger but is sticking with the thriller genre and has accepted his next project, the K-drama That Night. Joining him in the dual male lead role is … Continue reading →
It’s a blank slate for Netflix original K-drama Finger, but with the situation as it is hopefully the production regroups to figure out the next steps. K-actor Kim Soo Hyun was in talks for the male lead of the drama but this week officially declined. I don’t think it means he won’t do a Netflix drama in the future, just … Continue reading →
Can you guys believe it’s been 7 years, and 8 years next year in 2021, since Answer Me 1994 rocketed Jung Woo to superstardom with international drama fans. He was already doing plenty of movies in Korea before then but few dramas, and whether he’s just got the best agent or serendipity made him pick AM94 it ended up being … Continue reading →
I’ve been waiting for the drama to really give me a balanced OTP to care about, to make both ends of the main leads equally invested in the outcome. Episode 8 of Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen), by taking the Queen out of the palace and making the King actually think about what he’s dealing with, raised the stakes and intensity … Continue reading →
I didn’t know that upcoming jTBC sci-fi action drama Sisyphus: The Myth was to commemorate the network’s 10th anniversary. Clearly it’s a tentpole production with top stars Jo Seung Woo and Park Shin Hye, and from the teasers looks like money was put to use with the action scenes and special effects. With that said the niggling worry with K-dramas … Continue reading →
This is an unfortunate situation all around but the replacement feels like a boon for the production and viewers. SBS Fri-Sat drama Delayed Justice has been fraught with so many problems from Kwon Sang Woo getting injured to COVID-19 shut downs and the most recent was the other male lead Bae Sung Woo getting fired from the show after his … Continue reading →
There is news around early 2021 K-drama You Are My Spring, and it feels like a one-for-one equal swap. Yoon Kye Sang was in talks for the drama but this week declined, but the production moved fast as Kim Dong Wook is now going to be the male lead. The female lead is Seo Hyun Jin who is just a … Continue reading →
As a personal preference, I’m not into bad boys with leather jackets, long hair, and artfully grungy look, mine is all clean cut, perfectly tailored suit, and a pair of aviators. With that said, boy does K-actor Ryu Jun Yeol look so fiiiinnnnneee this year. I clearly was living under a rock that I didn’t know he grew out his … Continue reading →
Okay, if anyone puts down one drama at the expense of the other just to troll shit up then imma yeet you right out of the comments section, m’kay? The production teams are good to drama fans to finish up 2020 as tons of teasers are dropping left and right. Two of the most anticipated sageuk dramas of 2021 both … Continue reading →
