Being addicted to Crash Landing on You hurts so good. Perhaps I should be thankful next week’s airing will be preempted due to lunar new year festivities and programming, otherwise how can I concentrate and cook all the meals I need to whip up in real life. This Sunday’s episode 10 took what seemed like a permanent separation of OTP … Continue reading →
I’ve skipped Seo Kang Joon‘s last two dramas but am totally pumped up to see him in upcoming tvN melancholy romance I’ll Come Find You When the Weather is Good. I tend to like him more when I like his leading lady and in this case I adore Park Min Young who has been rocking a streak of cute rom-coms … Continue reading →
tvN weekend drama Crash Landing on You keeps soaring higher and one upping itself. This Sunday’s episode 10 jumped 3% in ratings to hit 14.633% with still 6 more episodes to go. This could reach Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, and Answer Me 1988 territory for the network which would be exciting to see. I’ll save the actual plot developments for later … Continue reading →
Weekend dramas have been quiet on the big three network front as cable networks have been really on fire in that time slot. But when the prime time dramas faltered in recent years the big three always had their weekend stalwarts and I’m just waiting for something to stir my interest and bring me back to the world of big … Continue reading →
Start counting down to 1-22-20 because that’s the starting line for The Game: Towards Zero. The MBC drama takes over the Wed-Thurs time slot from quirky romance drama People With Flaws and marks the return to acting for Taecyeon after serving his military enlistment. He plays a prophet who can see the moment a person dies when he looks into … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is anything remotely worth spoiling about tvN drama Crash Landing on You because every single plot point has been cribbed from something before yet stitched together in such an addicting way. This Saturday’s episode 9 continued the high ratings of last week taking in 11.516% as the OTP was reunited from a brief separation only to … Continue reading →
SBS is off to a good start with Hot Stove League doing well in Fri-Sat ratings so the stage is set for it’s successor drama Hyena when it takes over in late February. We already have a Shark and a Wolf in K-drama land so of course a Hyena wouldn’t be out of place especially as the predator that scavenges … Continue reading →
One reason why I’m enjoying Crash Landing on You so much is the rich and layered characterizations of the supporting and even ancillary characters. Even the small roles are memorable and even better perfectly cast, case in point North Korean military officer Hyun Bin’s four subordinate soldiers in his border squad Company Five. There’s Yang Kyung Won as the ornery but … Continue reading →
Rising K-actor Jang Dong Yoon‘s next drama the cable network OCN thriller Search is getting lots of attention thanks to his breakout performance in KBS sageuk The Tale of Nokdu. I loved his chemistry with female lead Kim So Hyun which was critical to the drama since its a romance first and foremost. Search is billed as an action thriller … Continue reading →
Just as I was not feeling Park Min Young‘s high school hair style in upcoming jTBC drama I’ll Come Find You When the Weather is Good, the drama allays my concerns with the first stills of her adult character looking very becoming. She’s sporting wavy locks with body and a simple chic middle-ish part. The makeup is very understated as … Continue reading →
I didn’t cover the disbandment of male idol group X1 two weeks ago, as rightfully so with the news that it’s entire season of Produce X 101 was fully vote rigged. The problem with the vote rigging isn’t that every winner out of the 10 would not have made it, it’s that we’ll never know who would have made it … Continue reading →
I wonder if setting K-dramas in the boondocks is the new IT thing. Last year in 2019 there was When the Camellia Blooms, currently there is the mopey and super sad Chocolate set in both a desolate countryside and also a podunk island, and coming soon will be I’ll Come Find You When the Weather is Fine. Also set in … Continue reading →

Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are both in talks for a later in 2020 cable network Livetime Channel K-drama called Night Convenience Store. It’s billed as a cute romance with a bad convenience store night clerk with a 4D … Continue reading →
