The first new drama to arrive in 2020 sounds like it will be The Game: Towards Zero, or towards hopefully a good year for K-drama ratings. The drama is scheduled to air in January 2020 on MBC Wed-Thurs and stars Taecyeon in his acting comeback after two years in the military. He plays a prophet who can look into people’s … Continue reading →
I hope tvN is not counting its chicks before it hatches but this type of publicity likely indicates a close to final signing. tvN recently went before advertisers to promote it’s 2020 lineup of shows and for K-dramas the three faces it trotted out were Kim Soo Hyun, Jang Nara, and Jung Hae In. Of the three, only Jung Hae … Continue reading →
The Hong Sisters are back thanks to the success of summer 2019 supernatural K-drama Hotel Del Luna. I think they are about 50/50 on hits and misses and based on their track record the next drama is likely a miss. I hope they break free of that bad luck as their next drama is already in the works. It’s scheduled … Continue reading →
I’m not surprised high profile K-drama Crash Landing on You will have big name cameos considering the cast and production team. The first announced cameo guest appearance is K-actor Ha Suk Jin who will be playing male lead Hyun Bin‘s older brother. He doesn’t look older than Binnie and based on the context my guess is the Binnie will have … Continue reading →
I feel like K-drama producers think that it’s been too long since a weird pairing and throw one out there to remind us. We have Joo Sang Wook and Kim Bora together in an upcoming drama, and now Kim Ha Neul and Lee Do Hyun are in talks for an early 2020 romance drama airing on jTBC called 18 Again. … Continue reading →
It’s been a quiet nearly two years on the dating front for confirmed acting couple Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon. He went off to his military service after they confirmed their relationship so there wasn’t much for the public to get updated on. But recently they were out together and at a high profile event so of course … Continue reading →

I’m cautious about upcoming Channel A romance drama Touch, not cautiously optimistic but straight up wary about this drama due to the lead pairing. Forty-something Joo Sang Wook is playing the romantic male lead opposite 20 year old Kim Bora who looks her age and then some. She would be believable still playing a high school student and for sure … Continue reading →
In the end the whole was so much of a mess the individual lacking elements just feels not as integral a problem. MBC Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary You probably generated more commentary than its low ratings warranted because it was the type of cult hit that was fertile ground for new talent. It sucks as a female viewer to say the … Continue reading →
Marriage and motherhood seems to suit K-actress Kim Tae Hee well, since her early 2017 wedding to fellow top Hallyu star Rain the two have welcome two daughters in two years with zero controversy or limelight seeking. Rain continues to work hard doing two dramas since his marriage as well as a music comeback but 2020 will mark his wife … Continue reading →
If I accidentally landed in North Korea I would be a worried about getting fed to pigs or ending up in a labor camp. But in upcoming tvN romance Crash Landing on You the worst thing that happens to Son Ye Jin is that the hottiest NK solder ever keeps her safe and worries about her. Oh poor her, lol. … Continue reading →
One reason I’m extra steamed about the suckiness of Vagabond was that the stupidity didn’t even have the temerity to come with a side of silly OTP satisfaction. The leads never connected emotionally so I was stuck watching a dumber than bricks investigative shoot ’em up. That’s why I think even if upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You is … Continue reading →
