This is not a surprising reunion and definitely a very smart one all around. K-actress Kim Hye Yoon is considering the offer to be the female lead in upcoming jTBC drama Spring Snowflake (Snowdrop) helmed by the PD and screenwriter of hit drama Sky Castle. She was one of the main younger cast leads and definitely sky rocketed to the … Continue reading →
I get a kick not from watching every K-drama Im Joo Hwan is in, despite really loving him as an actor, but from seeing what he does next because this man certainly jumps roles like a jack rabbit. In second leads alone he plays nice guy, clingy guy, weird guy, silent guy, and then super baddie guy, it’s like he’s … Continue reading →
It’s the midway point for K-drama Dinner Mate (Shall We Have Dinner Together) and I’ve been watching intently but haven’t felt the urge to write it about until now. That’s probably because each episode feels like a bite, or perhaps part of a meal, so without the entire meal yet it’s hard to formulate a thoughtful review. It’s the midway … Continue reading →
K-dramas are no stranger to the anti-hero but making an uber baddie the male lead is pretty rare. What I’m bracing myself for is actually having to hate Lee Jun Ki in upcoming Flower of Evil because he’s already giving off total sociopath vibes and that means he’s killing it in the acting department. His character had erased his evil/bad … Continue reading →
Seeing the newest drama poster for It’s Okay to Not be Okay, a group one with all four leads Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Ye Ji, Oh Jung Se, and Park Kyu Young, the drama may not have a fantasy element but study above totally reminds me of IU‘s office in Hotel Del Luna. Seo Ye Ji’s cold alpha type personality … Continue reading →
I’m looking forward to OCN drama Train more and more, a combination of wondering if another drama can do the parallel worlds concept better and because all the promos so far have been fantastic. The latest are three official drama posters with leads Yoon Shi Yoon and Kyung Soo Jin in motion in both of their parallel world versions and … Continue reading →
If tvN is the most mainstream of the cable networks, OCN has carved out procedurals/thrillers, Chosun TV has one hit a year with sageuks, then jTBC is the indie that’s riding the dark horse all the way to the deepest recesses of the human psyche. On the heels of two record breaking K-dramas with Sky Castle and The World of … Continue reading →
It feels like K-actor Song Joong Ki is gearing up for a K-ent return, not that he left but he’s definitely been in prep mode for the past year. He left long time agency Blossom and formed his new agency History D&C and has been focused more on movies filming Bogota (paused during COVID-19) and upcoming Space Sweepers which was … Continue reading →
Filming is already underway for second half 2020 tvN drama The Moment (Record of Youth) set in the acting and modeling entertainment world. Starring Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam, the drama is starting to announce more cast members and this week it’s three famous faces. Seo Hyun Jin will be doing a cameo guest appearance in the drama … Continue reading →
Ever since I laid eyes on this boy ten years ago I knew he was destined to go places. He was the younger versions of male leads in Giant and Will it Snow for Christmas and his sections were in ways even more interesting that the ensuing story. He does the set up, so much angst and hope and dreams … Continue reading →
Blue hued and red hued visuals are going to be the parallel universe identifiers in upcoming OCN murder mystery thriller Train. Male lead Yoon Shi Yoon is a detective in one world and loses his beloved and afterwards crosses over into a parallel world to solve her murder. I hope his world hopping is more better thought out than baddie … Continue reading →
I’ll say that if upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Backstreet Rookie is at least good then it’s already a winner. The expectations are low and this is a low budget drama anyways, at least compared to its time slot predecessor world building fantasy quest The King: Eternal Monarch. BR is a webtoon adaptation, and a crappy original source material if you … Continue reading →
It’s weird how time tempers disappointment. I’ll likely remember The King: Eternal Monarch fondly now that it’s over, the earlier episodes were just so inexplicably terrible and made for drastic expectation rewritting but as the episodes went on I settled into a nice rhythm with it. Each week I hoped it would make better sense and it never did but … Continue reading →
