The cast of Answer Me 1988 is/was very close and in the past would get together from time to time in the intervening 10 years since the drama aired. I say was now because two costars dated and then broke up so not sure if the full group hangouts be happening go forward. But I rarely saw leads Park Bo … Continue reading →
I love getting a peek into any voting process (let me inside Conclave!) and for the 2025 Baeksang Awards the judges are revealing the votes behind the scenes. For the Best Actor and Best Actress, the most coveted for the acting industry, it was not what I was thinking behind the scenes. Kim Tae Ri was near unanimous in getting … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I love this gritty and bold vibe for the character posters just released by jTBC for the K-drama Good Boy. The six main leads are Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, Oh Jung Se, and Tae Won Seok with the majority playing former Olympic level sporting champs turned cops. It’s been a few … Continue reading →
There is a first for everything and it looks like Good Boy is indeed the goodest of boys what with the broader than usual release. The jTBC airing K-drama will be available for streaming on both Netflix and Disney+ in Korea at the same time, the first that the competitor platforms have agreed to a simulstream situation. This will only … Continue reading →
It’s May, hurray! I hate the fast passage of time most of the time except when it harkens the arrival of a drama or movie I’m anticipating. And this end of May will see jTBC drop Good Boy finally, and with it hopefully kickstarting a good summer in K-drama land. The drama stars Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun … Continue reading →
The trickle is becoming a steadier stream and may portend the dam breaking soon. Last week it was reportedly that Disney+ told the production of K-drama Knock Off starring embattled K-actor Kim Soo Hyun that it would not resume filming and to go off and work on other projects and not be on standby anymore, basically indicating it was abandoning … Continue reading →
A very public rebuke and distancing just happened in K-ent and is making huge headlines. Actor-singer Lee Seung Gi has announced that he and his actress wife Lee Da In have severed all ties with his in-law family (her family) on the heels of his father-in-law being indicted again for stock manipulation. The father-in-law is Lee Da In’s stepfather and … Continue reading →
Legal, medical, and procedural K-dramas are the tried and true three stalwart genres, when in doubt just bibimbap one of these with the usual elements but rejiggered. A new legal drama is coming titled Pro Bono which brings me back to my law school and early years of practice when I still had the fervor and energy for it. The … Continue reading →
The quagmire of reveals and counter-reveals and even completely irrelevant reveals in the Kim Soo Hyun scandal for allegedly dating then underage K-actress Kim Sae Ron when she was underage at 15 years old until she was 21 has made it rather moot to cover the latest details. Until now, when it’s been confirmed that Disney+ has officially paused the … Continue reading →
Now this is a name I haven’t heard in awhile. K-actress Baek Jin Hee is reportedly going to star as the second female lead in the upcoming legal plus time travel themed K-drama Judge Lee Han Young. The leads were earlier announced as Ji Sung and Won Jin Ah already. Baek Jin Hee’s last drama was in 2023 as a … Continue reading →
A romance K-drama just announced its casting this week and from the one picture I saw of the webtoon cover it looks sexy lol. The K-drama Charge Me Up adapted from the same name webtoon will star Chae Soo Bin and Kim Young Kwang as the leads, with him playing a guy with an artificial heart that is losing electrical … Continue reading →
Last month in March 2025 K-drama land was all about When Life Gives You Tangerines, the Netflix drama that spanned generations and delivered on tears of joy and sadness. Netflix this month went a totally different genre route and early in April premiered Karma, a thriller tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge that interwoven the lives of six people in … Continue reading →
The weekend time slot for cable network tvN was much buzzier in the beginning of the year when When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars) premiered, though most of that was generated by befuddlement and negative criticism for how wildly awful it was lol. But buzz is still buzz and after that drama it’s been a series of mid K-dramas … Continue reading →
