There’s a change to the airing schedule which doesn’t surprise me because it was getting way too close for there not to be a concerted effort to promote such a big budget high profile K-drama. SBS is delaying the airing of pre-produced action drama Vagabond from the schedule May 2019 premiere date to later in September of the same year. … Continue reading →
This has all the hallmarks of a good drama, being on cable with a serious political turn in this day and age where politics seem more than ever to play a role in daily lives. jTBC kicked off script reading for Aide starring Lee Jung Jae, Shin Mina, Kim Dong Joon, and Elliya Lee. Lee Jung Jae plays a top … Continue reading →
The casting winds are blowing quickly around K-drama Perfume. Last weekend Eric turned it out but this week the drama found a great next choice with Shin Sung Rok, who has confirmed and will be leading man in a romance drama so yay finally! He’s so versatile and a chameleon, even in one role able to essay so many nuanced … Continue reading →
The first poster is out for fantasy K-drama Abyss, doing a physical transformation swap concept where the leads turn into the exact opposite forms of their prior selves. The poster creatively juxtaposes the transformation by putting Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob against the chalk outlines of their former selves. She’s shrunk in height and curves from statuesque beauty, … Continue reading →
K-actor Seo Kang Joon has gotten really good reviews for his most recent dramas Are You Human, Too and The 3rd Charm but I passed on both. I think he needs an even more serious type drama breakout much like Nam Joo Hyuk did recently with the incredible and heartwarming The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). This upcoming project might … Continue reading →
tvN wrapped up Wed-Thurs romance drama Touch Your Heart this Thursday and sending off the cute couple of Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na makes way for pulled from manhwa pages couple Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook in Her Private Life. The latest stills show the two leads in different environments – Park Min Young’s curator by … Continue reading →
This is a smaller-ish casting news or now lack thereof casting news for an upcoming K-drama. I got all excited last month with actor-singer Eric (Moon) was in talks for a K-drama return with a fantasy romance role in Perfume. It’s the story of a woman who loses it all getting a second chance at love and the man who … Continue reading →
I had a momentary pause in trying to describe the central fantasy premise of upcoming jTBC drama Abyss. It’s neither soul-nor-body swapping because leads Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob merely turn into different looking versions of themselves, I think? She’s a knock out beautiful prosecutor played by Kim Sa Rang in a guest role who transforms into mousy … Continue reading →
Looks like CJ Entertainment has its eyes on drama land after conquering the big screen with hit movies in the last few years. CJ’s wholly owned production house Studio Dragon has acquired the indie drama producer G Est, which has under it’s contract screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung, PD Kim Kyu Tae, and PD Hong Jong Chan. Noh Hee Kyung has … Continue reading →
I have a day job and blogging about K-dramas is a pure hobby so I’ll confess to totally feeling sympatico with female lead Park Min Young in tvN drama Her Private Life. She’s a no nonsense capable art museum curator by day and doggedly devoted idol fangirl by night/weekend, basically her private time is all about her idol fixation and … Continue reading →
A sweet and optimistic K-drama sounds like a nice escapist getaway for viewers currently bombarded with terrible real life news in South Korea. Leading lady Shin Hye Sun is following up a heartwarming drama in Thirty But Seventeen with another equally heartwarming sounding one Dan, Only Love. She plays a cold ballerina who doesn’t believe in love who is the … Continue reading →
What a funny poster for tvN rom-com Her Private Life. I love the calm blue-hued background but am chuckling at the misdirected fangirling by lead Park Min Young. She’s got her camera trained at some far off idol boy with male lead Kim Jae Wook standing next to her vogueing as naturally as the air he breaths. She needs to … Continue reading →
The trio of priest, cop, and taxi-driving shaman is reuniting for the big screen and I have mixed feelings about it. OCN horror drama The Guest was a riveting watch for me last year and one of my favorites from 2018, and it ended with a cliffhanger on one hand with the big bad and a sorta happy ending for … Continue reading →
