I never liked K-actress Jung Eun Chae until I watched her in horror thriller The Guest in 2018 thanks to my love of her two male leads in that drama Kim Dong Wook and Kim Jae Wook. She was marvelous and the drama so dark and riveting, and her character as a cop totally grungy and lanky with restrained pain. … Continue reading →

K-actor Jang Dong Yoon is coming off a banner year 2019 with sageuk The Tale of Nokdu and it looks like he’s quick stepping his projects this year to capitalize on the momentum. He’s already confirmed for OCN thriller drama Search but he’s also in talks for later in the year jTBC romance drama Sunbae Please Don’t Put on that … Continue reading →
K-actress Jeon Ji Hyun has been in the news a lot in recent weeks and all positive reasons. The latest is confirmation that she will be making a K-drama return with Mount Jiri penned by the screenwriter Kim Eun Hee of Kingdom, Signal, Sign, Phantom, and Three Days. Mount Jiri is about the best park ranger working in the vast … Continue reading →
There’s no denying it now, K-actor Park Seo Joon is officially an A-lister and totally deserving of it. His headlining jTBC drama Itaewon Class finished this Saturday with a ratings high 16.548% which is a series high though not a network high as Sky Castle retains both the jTBC crown and the cable networks crown. The final episode seemed to make … Continue reading →
Consider me perpetually impressed with Kim Soo Hyun‘s popularity and staying power. This week Sports Chosun celebrated its 30th anniversary by conducting various polls of Korean industry insiders including agency heads, network presidents, PDs, screenwriters, and with over 100 votes the group was asked to pick their top Power People within K-drama land. Coming in first with 12 votes is … Continue reading →
I feel like I saw this story already and also wondering why it took so long for a K-drama version. K-actress Shin Hye Sun is in talks for a tvN fusion sageuk drama Queen Cheorin scheduled for November 2020 so plenty of ways away. It tells the story of a modern day man named Bong Hwan who time travels back … Continue reading →
I find Kim Kyung Nam a fantastic actor who always delivers and that seems to be the widespread feedback from other drama viewers. He’s just charismatic and his presence in upcoming SBS K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch really ups the ante. His first character stills are out and shows his police officer character tackling a suspect and he’s seems the … Continue reading →
Forget returning to K-ent, this douchebag criminal isn’t leaving prison for many many years. Former FT Island member idol Choi Jung Hoon admitted this week to illegally filming women in sexual situations and distributing the footage, i.e. sharing it with his fellow sleazebags in the online chat groups. He’s already been convicted and sentenced to 5 years for aggravated rape … Continue reading →
I love the title of this drama and hopefully it’ll also deliver what it’s title aims to do. KBS late spring drama Soul Repairer has released the first look with leads Shin Ha Kyun and Jung So Min. It’s a drama by the PD of Brain (hence the reunion with Shin Ha Kyun) and My Daughter Seo Young with the … Continue reading →
I feel like it’s Heirs part deux, but this time male lead Lee Min Ho isn’t with Kim Woo Bin and instead getting another Bin similar male lead with Woo Do Hwan. Being second fiddle isn’t bad in the rare K-drama role, like Kim Woo Bin in Heirs and most recently Kim Jung Hyun in Crash Landing on You, so … Continue reading →
Dining together is a big part of many cultures South Korea included and watching K-dramas so many connections and scenes are set at meal times. The upcoming drama Shall We Have Dinner Together with Song Seung Heon and Seo Ji Hye takes two strangers and one random seating at the same table and builds a destined romance from the encounter. … Continue reading →
One of the reasons I’m so stoked for the upcoming SBS fantasy romance The King: Eternal Monarch is to hopefully see the redemption of Kim Go Eun. I LOVED Goblin but I really didn’t like character, and it was the sheer overwhelming love for the other three leads that helped overcome her naive wide-eyed blankness as a personality. She played … Continue reading →
