Looks like the gumiho is back in the spotlight for the current drama cycle. Another gumiho themed K-drama has finished casting and will be on deck in early 2021 hopefully. Falling Cohabitation (Terrifying Cohabitation) is adapted from the same name webtoon and talks about a girl who swallows a male gumiho’s magical orb and they have to live together. Jang … Continue reading →
I’m getting a combo mix of Goblin and Hotel Del Luna mashed together in the first stills of Lee Dong Wook in upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho. His character is an immortal male gumiho and totally reminds of me both IU as immortal Man Wol in Hotel Del Luna, that scene when she walks into the press conference with … Continue reading →
This will be the new normal, stores/restaurants/work sites closing down due to possible COVID-19 exposure for a quarantine period. Two weeks ago a bunch of K-dramas abruptly had to pause filming due to possible or actual COVID-19 exposure. One of them being KBS Wed-Thurs musical romance Dol Dol Sol Sol La La Sol which has been gearing up for an … Continue reading →
Do I think Krystal looks believable as a capable South Korean female soldier. For sure no, but then I’m still mega excited about the upcoming OCN action/horror/thriller Search regardless because her emotive delicacy will likely not be required here. If male lead Jang Dong Yoon presents as a soft squishy teenager on his first army tour, then Krystal definitely has … Continue reading →
I’m super loving EVERYTHING about Alice, even if it’s a story about a mother/son duo kick-assing everything back to the way it is and saving humanity from wonky time-travel shenanigans. Kim Hee Sun and Joo Won are the oddest yet totally believable mother/son leads of Alice, trust me it makes sense when you watch it but I can see why … Continue reading →
I’m glad to see a K-drama take a location shoot seriously and expensively without needing to be in an exotic overseas locale. Upcoming highly anticipated human survival and nature drama Mount Jiri will be starting primary filming next month in September 2020. Starring Jeon Ji Hyun, Joo Ji Hyun, and Oh Jung Se, the drama will be filmed on location … Continue reading →
Two of the supporting characters in recent dramas that made a good impression on me with their respective performances will be working together in an upcoming drama. Jinyoung from When My Love Blooms and Park Kyu Young in It’s Okay to Not be Okay are cast in the upcoming legal drama Demon Judge with already cast male lead Ji Sung. … Continue reading →
Okay, I checked out new SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice because why not, don’t love any of the leads but also none of them annoy me and I was curious if another time-traveling parallel worlds topic genre would handle this subject matter after The King: Eternal Monarch and Train. Consider me gobsmacked in surprise at how much I LOVE THIS DRAMA … Continue reading →
There is such a disparate visual going on with upcoming OCN drama Search but hopefully that’s only going to work in its favor to heighten the tension. The first stills and teaser is out with male lead Jang Dong Yoon as a South Korean soldier in an unit stationed at the DMZ who encounters a dangerous “monstrosity”. No clue if … Continue reading →
I’m sad not to get a final farewell to K-actor Park Bo Gum before he enlists for military service, as tvN has rightfully cancelled the press conference for upcoming K-drama Record of Youth due to the surge of COVID-19 in South Korea. But then the network released more teasers and stills and I’m happy to really get a better sense … Continue reading →
K-actress Han Hyo Joo has developed quite a movie resume but her dramas have been few and far between especially in the last decade. She started off 2020 with hit sageuk Dong Yi and then in 2016 had fantasy webtoon drama W: Two Worlds. K-ent is reporting that she’s considering her first K-drama in 5 years, scheduled for 2021, the … Continue reading →
I think a time slip must’ve happened because new SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice is already here. So the one week break from predecessor Backstreet Rookie passed in a glance and this Friday the network goes back to the time travel theme that it did earlier this year in the same time slot with The King: Eternal Monarch. Starring Joo Won, … Continue reading →
Okay, I am not feeling the transformation of Lee Dong Wook into the titular gumiho in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. He looks like a K-drama bargain basement version of Edward Cullen from Twilight, and it doesn’t help that Lee Dong Wook vibes with Robert Pattinson. I do get the gumiho in Korean folklore has certain characteristics but being … Continue reading →
