At this point I don’t realistically know what is going on in Vagabond because nothing is rooted an iota in reality. But that’s what is fueling me to keep going because we are two episodes from the end and also the ridiculousness is entertaining. I’m just waiting for Suzy to turn out to be the Big Bad and Lee Seung … Continue reading →
This might not be the best time to announce a new drama for Suzy, because even as her fan she is really really miscast and bad and just got a badly written character on top of it all in her currently airing drama Vagabond. But then I hear what’s she’s doing next and I feel a glimmer of hope because … Continue reading →
The quiet sadness of a Lee Kyung Hee penned melodrama is one her most consistent and defining styles. It’s hard to create that aura since sad stuff happening usually comes across way more intense but her dramas manage to have super sad stuff that happens to the leads but lets us watch their quiet inner struggles. There will be tears … Continue reading →
I really hope the intention of the production was to paint Ahn Jae Hyun and Oh Yeon Seo as totally cringeworthy characters with exaggerated performances in the first teaser for upcoming K-drama People With Flaws. In that case they succeeded because lordy was that awful to watch with major second hand embarrassment for them. They game they were playing, Oh … Continue reading →
This December comes a new legal drama based on a best selling novel and saddled with an incredible acting bonanza cast. Diary of a Prosecutor stars Lee Seon Kyun and Jung Ryeo Won as prosecutors in a small town in South Korea and chronicles their daily working lives. It’s described as not a legal thriller but as a slice-of-life look … Continue reading →
This is a little early for year end lists but like Christmas creep everything happens earlier and earlier. Joynews in South Korea conducted a poll of 200 K-ent industry insiders from producers, directors, screenwriters, and drama crew members to ask their opinion on the best and worst lists of 2019 dramas. I’ll start with the Worst K-drama of 2019 since … Continue reading →
Sorry that I’m more enchanted by the autumnal leaves and the really really white horse than by Lee Min Ho but I know his fans will gobble this up and rightly so. He looks very rich and handsome in the first stills for upcoming two worlds fantasy romance drama The King: Eternal Sovereign. This looks cheesy in the same way … Continue reading →
Upcoming jTBC drama Chocolate feels surprisingly low key and low promo which is fine with me. All my favorite Lee Kyung Hee dramas were the ones that flew under the radar more than her highly anticipated ones. Her specialty is crafting a sadder than sad set up between the leads and milking their chemistry and angst for every tasty drop … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I love this potential casting, please ink it right away MBC! K-ent is reporting that Lee Joon Hyun and Nam Ji Hyun have been offered the leads in 2020 time travel sci-fi romance drama 365: A Year of Defying Fate. I remember the crazy spate of time travel dramas around 2012-2013 days but it’s died down now for years … Continue reading →
I’m just as excited about Yoon Kye Sang in jTBC melodrama Chocolate as I am about Ha Ji Won doing it, and being paired together was one of those early Hallyu pairings I wanted but sorta forgot about over the years. Better late than never and the whole mood for the drama totally reminds of me dark chocolate, the bitter … Continue reading →
I have to thank KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu for invigorating my love of K-dramas again. It’s been so long and this drama makes me count the days until Monday and then get sad after Tuesday, it makes me grin like a loon when I watch and then pout because I can’t have another hit right away. Episode … Continue reading →
If you love campfires, stars in the sky, and very good looking people falling in love then have I got the poster for you with all three combined. The first drama poster is out for tvN romance Crash Landing on You and it’s that camp fire scene we’ve seen teasers of so far with leads Son Ye Jin and Hyun … Continue reading →
Man, it’s like the screenwriter drilled into my head and then created THE perfect sageuk youth romance for me, including the most perfect sageuk lead couple casting since Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung in Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. Mon-Tues KBS drama The Tale of Nokdu has Jang Dong Yoon and Kim So Hyun with their own special brand … Continue reading →
