It’s nearing the end of the year already and for K-dramas there are only a few left that will premiere in the next two months.

The title for Jeon Ji Hyun‘s most recent last drama Tempest ended up being fitting for all the wrong reasons, with scenes and dialogue drawing the ire of Mainland Chinese viewers for what was deemed insulting to their country.

Oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall when this all went down this week, or perhaps it was already in the making and just announced in one fell swoop. This week the production of the K-drama Inside Men, an adaptation of the same name 2015 movie, announced that main leads Song Kang Ho, Su Ae, … Continue reading →
It’s a tough market for K-drama romances in recent two months. More are failing to land or connect with audiences whether the set up or genre, other than the mega hit Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and My Troublesome Star doing better than expected, the rest are duds including My Youth and A Hundred Memories.

The Hong Sisters have tried many different genres and conceits so I am surprised they are doing a follow up or spin-off of sorts for their next drama topic.
