I can’t get my arms around either the plot or ratings of tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay and it’s all in good ways. This drama keeps me off kilter and every scene feels meaningful and thrilling, I was riveted to episode 3 and there is so much to talk about. The drama setting moves from Seoul to … Continue reading →
I love it when an up-and-comer gets the spotlight and this guy has been on my radar for the last year thanks to three notable supporting performances. K-actor Yoo Teo is in talks to join Su Ae as her leading man in the K-drama Now, We Break Up. It’s Su Ae’s first drama in 4 years and she really suits … Continue reading →
When I first heard the synopsis of K-drama 18 Again it sounded just like the Hollywood movie 17 Again and lo and behold it’s totally a remake so yay for confirming that. 17 Again was surprising good and I think expanding it to a 16-episode length and in a K-drama setting is a smart re-imagining. Starring Kim Ha Neul and … Continue reading →
Okay, someone HAD TO have sent out a dress code otherwise how the heck is three out of six wearing couples tee, albeit in a love triangle look ahahaha. The perfect precious main cast of six from the hit K-drama Answer Me 1988 hung out recently and posted the pictures on their SNS, making me wonder just how much this … Continue reading →
I can’t believe we’re in the third week of June 2020 already, normally this would be the high peak of summer start with blockbuster movies dropping every Friday and folks out enjoying vacations and time off.

I love serendipity and on the same week that K-drama premiered a new show that reminds of the best part of last year’s hit fantasy series Hotel Del Luna comes news that there will be a new life for the story.

It’s hard to keep track of so many production teams and I didn’t fully connect the visuals of just premiered tvN drama It’s Okay to Not Be Okay with the PD until I double checked and confirmed that it’s the same PD as Encounter (Boyfriend).

Wow, this is like the most substantive news I’ve heard around Won Bin and any potential acting comeback project in 10 years. K-ent is reporting that Won Bin will not be making his return to the screen with the K-drama Immortal, a big budget 40 billion won affair that has all the hall marks of high profile even without his … Continue reading →
If this is a cat and mouse game it’s not clear who is the cat and who is the mouse, and if the end game is love healing all or emotional devastation raining down. Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji drop so much chemistry and intensity in the second episode of It’s Okay to Not be Okay their scenes … Continue reading →
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve loved Kim Soo Hyun for over a decade since his debut even as a teen actor but I never think of him as a heartthrob. He’s very good looking but it’s always his acting and sincerity that makes him so attractive to be onscreen, but I guess he’s heard the tradition loud … Continue reading →
I…..kinda enjoyed the first episode of SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie but that goodwill mostly dissipated in the second episode. Starring Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung, going in with zero expectations and just a love for the two leads, I only hoped that this drama wouldn’t suck. That’s a low bar and so far it doesn’t 100% suck … Continue reading →

Ratings for episode 1 was 6.093% AGB nationwide, and for … Continue reading →
