Okay, the drama title sounds stupid upon first impression but goodness who cares if this really ends up being Kim Soo Hyun‘s drama return after military service and 5 years after Producers. K-ent is reporting that Kim Soo Hyun has been offered the male lead and is seriously considering the offer for tvN drama I’m a Psycho But It’s Okay. … Continue reading →
I don’t know what went wrong with tvN drama Melt Me Softly but it comes across as a sticky melting ice pop that a viewer can’t find enjoyment with. I loved the premise, two people get cryogentically frozen for 20 years and return to regain their lives and also conveniently fall in love. But I don’t connect with Ji Chang … Continue reading →
The big crop of child stars from a decade ago are now all adult actors in their own right, albeit still on the fresh-faced young side, but K-ent continues to nurture talent and one I’ve been keeping an eye on is teen actress Kim Hwan Hee. She debuted a wee one in Robbers as Lee Da Hae‘s daughter and also … Continue reading →
I’m glad there is a substantive story with a birth mystery grounding this sageuk otherwise on click bait developments alone it’s barreling full speed ahead. KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu only aired one episode this week and for a 5th episode it broke a ton of norms in K-dramas. It’s one of the earliest kisses between the leads … Continue reading →
MBC drama People With Flaws got embroiled tangentially in the off screen divorce drama surrounding male lead Ahn Jae Hyun but hopefully that’s all in the past now and viewers can anticipate this drama solely on its intended merits. I still think the set up is too K-drama opposites attract, a man focused on good looks and a woman who … Continue reading →
It’s undeniable that Kim Soo Hyun picked a perfect way to return to acting post-military, whether it was calculated or genuinely a supportive friend thing to do for both leads. His 10-second cameo at the very end of Hotel Del Luna stole a lot of thunder, confirming that he’s a movie star on top of being an actor with skills. … Continue reading →
I…..I wish Vagabond was straight up good. Good and enjoyable rather than good and exhausting, which is good with an asterisk and we all know that’s what will follow a project when all is said and done. SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond aired up to episode 8 this weekend, halfway done now and perhaps halfway into uncovering the conspiracy that caused … Continue reading →
After working in two popular noona romances, Jung Hae In gets a younger leading lady next with Chae Soo Bin as the two are confirmed for tvN drama Half of a Half. That would be a quarter, LOL, but the punny title describes the romance between the male lead who is a successful head and programmer for an AI company … Continue reading →
Gosh darn it, I just love KBS Mon-Tues drama The Tale of Nokdu. It continues to live up to the fun and beautiful promos from last month, arriving to inject me with a critically needed dose of cute and sassy with leads Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon. The ratings remain in the 6% range so this doesn’t appear … Continue reading →
Talk about a double whammy in bad things to happen to one drama. Big budget high profile period C-drama Win the World, which was filmed in 2017 and starred Fan Bing Bing and Gao Yun Xiang, is reportedly going to be fully re-filmed for both lead actor scenes in order to be able to air and recoup some sunk costs. … Continue reading →
The Leverage team is rolling out this Sunday October 13th when the drama premieres on smaller cable network TV Chosun, but it comes with a big name cast and plenty of US original name recognition. Starring Lee Dong Gun, Jeon Hye Bin, Kim Sae Ron, and Kim Kwon, the drama is about an insurance investigator turned head of a ring … Continue reading →
I will admit that I had zero interest in the MBN drama Graceful Family, it looked makjang and I am not fans of leads Im Soo Hyang and Lee Jang Woo. But the drama has become the can-do drama of summer 2019, with ratings starting at 2% which is already good for MBN and passing 7% last week to it … Continue reading →
A drama is the work of tens if not hundreds of people, with the high profile cast only the tip of the iceberg. I hope the recent tabloid glare on male lead Ahn Jae Hyun doesn’t negatively impact his upcoming MBC drama People With Flaws costarring Oh Yeon Seo. It actually sounds kinda stupid in concept – a woman who … Continue reading →
