Now I’m just waiting to see if the casting director manages to make it 10 leading actors and actresses in ONE DRAMA. Upcoming SBS melodrama Penthouse has another occupant in Ha Suk Jin, who recently had a memorable cameo appearance in Crash Landing on You. Maybe this is SBS’s version of Sky Castle, an apartment building full of leading men … Continue reading →
I’m super excited for this new drama and it’s definitely less than 365 days away. Script reading and filming has kicked off for MBC time-travel thriller 365: A Year of Defying Fate. Starring Lee Joon Hyuk and Nam Ji Hyun, the two are among a group of 10 individuals given the chance to go back exactly one year prior in … Continue reading →
I think her track record speaks for itself so maybe this isn’t the best casting for either side. Jin Se Yeon, currently starring in hit cable sageuk Selection: The War Between Women, has confirmed as the female lead role in upcoming KBS reincarnation thriller drama Born Again. The two male leads are confirmed to be Jang Ki Yong and Lee … Continue reading →
The two week wait for well worth it as episodes 11 and 12 of Crash Landing on You lived up to expectations. The OTP enjoyed cohabiting in South Korea, the North Korean soldiers suffered adorably in jjimjalbang, PC bang, and fried chicken heaven/hell before being reunited with their beloved Comrade Se Ri and Captain Ri, and the story slowed down … Continue reading →
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and in this case gender-swapping would make it entirely problematic. New posters are here for upcoming SBS drama Hyena with leads Kim Hye Soo and Joo Ji Hoon playing rival lawyers. The two new posters first show the two tussling, she’s got her hand pulling on his hair with the … Continue reading →
Woah, this was unexpected but then again probably make sense considering the source material. Newly arrived jTBC Fri-Sat drama Itaewon Class arrived this Friday and dropped nearly 5% ratings in its first episode, taking in 4.983%. That’s nearly 2% higher than predecessor Chocolate’s premiere episode. Audience and critic feedback has been positive and strong as well so this drama looks … Continue reading →
I feel cold when I see the new drama posters for upcoming jTBC romance I’ll Find You When the Weather is Good, at the same time it gives me heart warm and fuzzies. Leads Seo Kang Joon and Park Min Young are framed against the backdrop of light snow but it’s clear that the weather is warming up since they … Continue reading →
As TW-ent recently looked back on who it considers the reigning K-drama kings of the last decade, this week K-ent published an article looking forward at what it sees as the four highest profile Hallyu actor and projects in 2020. On the drama front it’s Lee Min Ho reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook in The King: Eternal Sovereign … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the screenwriter found a way to flashback to one of Hyun Bin‘s most successful dramas and a scene that was quite memorable and problematic there but now gets a gender swapped redo. In new stills for episode 11 of Crash Landing on You, Son Ye Jin‘s Se Ri takes her North Korean hunky bodyguard Jung Hyuk shopping … Continue reading →
I thought Hyun Bin‘s dorky military bowl-ish hair cut as a North Korean military officer in Crash Landing on You would bother me but it hasn’t. Credit to his natural handsomeness and the fact that it fits with Jung Hyuk’s stoic personality and his job needs. But that doesn’t need I won’t be loving his South Korean makeover now that … Continue reading →
A good writer never forgets and I remember when this drama was bandied about in 2017 for a K-drama adaptation. But three years later it’s totally different names attached but all is well as a restart should start from fresh footing. MBC is looking to adapt webtoon Shall We Have Dinner Together and the fresh names for the leads are … Continue reading →
K-drama casting agents are like sharks pouncing quickly on breakout rookies and a new face just got a leading man role even before his drama has finished airing. Lee Sin Young, playing the stoic and handsome member of Hyun Bin‘s North Korea squad, will be headlining the KBS drama Friend Contract opposite also relative newbie Kim So Hye best known … Continue reading →

I don’t think any of these four could be left off … Continue reading →
