So this drama actually sounds interesting in that it’s ripe for a lot of sexual innuendo jokes coupled with a more low brow countryside setting. The next jTBC weekend drama is A Virtuous Business with a very strong cast of Kim So Yeon, Yeon Woo Jin, Kim Sung Ryung, Kim Sun Young, and Lee Se Hee. The drama is set … Continue reading →

So the South Korean conservative culture remains strong despite in modern times divorce being more and more acceptable and even adultery being decriminalized.

I want desperately to love it and find myself working hard to merely like it, if the leads weren’t Jung Hae In and Jung So … Continue reading →

So not only is this drama feel like a random surprise appearance for me, the leading actress also made me do a double take.

I recently wrote about the epic year that was 2005 for K-dramas with so many memorable hits and now streaming platform Wavve has found a way to commemorate and monetize older K-dramas from that era.
