One big name leading man is passing but another one has thrown his name in the mix. Hit drama screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung‘s upcoming 2020 drama about people working for an overseas NGO initially had her reuniting with former male lead Jo In Sung after working together twice already with That Winter, the Wind Blows and It’s Okay, It’s Love. … Continue reading →
This weekend saw the premiere of jTBC sageuk drama My Country, the latest sageuk we’ll see this year and hopefully turns out to be the best we’ve had so far. The ratings are solid for the second largest cable network coming it at 3.512% and 3.846% for the first and second episodes. Early reviews are promising but more for the … Continue reading →
Okay, we’ll know we just have to wait and see. Days after K-ent reported that Park Shin Hye and Jo Seung Woo had been offered the leads in upcoming cable drama Sisyphus: The Myth, both have accepted. It’s a done deal so no need to sling positive or negative predictions, Jo Seung Woo will head into filming after he’s done … Continue reading →
My growing frustration with SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond is that it could be so much better. There is a compelling conspiracy and tight action sequences, but the writing is in all CAPS with no subtlety or depth because everything still goes a mile a minute. I’m exhausted watching, without the pauses there is no time to absorb what is happening … Continue reading →
K-actor Eric has passed on reprising his own character in the K-drama remake of oldie but goodie Que Sera Sera but never fear because he may come back in early 2020 with a cable drama. He’s been offered the male lead in Channel A drama Casual Vacation, which is actually about food despite the non-food related name. His role is … Continue reading →
It’s October, yay, which means it really does feel like fall and I’m ready for something new again. The change of pace catching my eye is Catch the Ghost on tvN, doing the police procedural but without the politics and darkness. Instead the darkness comes from the subway tunnels where the metro squad keeps law and order, and does so … Continue reading →
I skipped Yoon Shi Yoon‘s last drama Nokdu Flower because I wasn’t in the mood for something so patriotic and serious plus he played the antagonist which is great for acting development but hard to watch since he’s such a baby-faced cutie pie in my eyes. But I’m planning to watch his upcoming tvN drama Psychopath Diary even though he … Continue reading →
I wonder if these three wonder babies of pretty are so exhausted from filming the jTBC sageuk My Country that they woke up late for the drama press conference hence pulled random items from their closet. How else to explain the collective awful sartorial looks at the media event, complete with ill-fitting suits for the men and an eyesore of … Continue reading →
The weather is finally changing into fall where I live and I can’t wait for the chill to bring a new vibe to daily life. Fashion-wise the magazines have been all about fall for two months now and the latest is K-actor Seo Kang Joon for W Korea looking so intense and confident. He just finished police procedural Watcher and … Continue reading →
I haven’t followed a Mon-Tues K-drama in months and the wait has been worth it to find a drama worth my commitment again. KBS dropped the youth sageuk The Tale of Nokdu this week and it’s as entertaining and charming as the previews suggested. Leads Jang Dong Yoon and Kim So Hyun are perfectly cast in their respective roles and … Continue reading →
If there is a any fictional reason for a man to go live in a widows village in the Joseon era, the more unbelievable part is that he would pass for a woman simply by disguise. But seeing Jang Dong Yoon in upcoming KBS sageuk The Tale of Nokdu go from warrior to woman had made me believe the impossible, … Continue reading →
The second week of SBS Fri-Sat night drama Vagabond basically is unchanged from the first week, so I say this because those who like it will continue to do so and those who don’t probably have no reason to start now. Episode 3 ratings are 7.3%, 8.4%, 9.3% and episode 4 took in 6.8%, 8.1%, 10.2%, so this big budget … Continue reading →
Okay, this sounds like a promising project for Park Shin Hye, if the rumored male lead accepts she should totally do it. K-ent is reporting that Park Shin Hye has been offered the female lead in the cool sounding jTBC sci-fi suspense drama Sisyphus: The Myth. Also in talks is veteran leading man Jo Seung Woo who is heading into … Continue reading →
