So apparently I do have my limited for watching two stars I love in a genre I love if the story and characters are just that frustrating. Such is the case for Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min which hit midway in airing this weekend, with ratings hitting new lows of 3% on Saturday’s episode … Continue reading →
So there is another underrated K-drama that reminds me a lot of the tense and twisty Train when I saw the promos. MBC Fri-Sat drama Black Out (Snow White Must Die) has been the little drama that could in the competitive weekend landscape, premiering to a measly 2.8% but increasing in ratings and racking up strong word of mouth. The … Continue reading →
There is a new casting out of K-ent and now we have three male lead level actors added to the superhero fantasy K-drama Twelve. Seo In Guk joins already cast Ma Dong Seok and Ji Chang Wook as the drama keeps adding to the main cast of Twelve, which represent twelve people with superhuman skills that correspond to the twelve … Continue reading →
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 →
I fully plan to watch tvN Mon-Tues rom-com No Gain No Love with Shin Mina and Kim Young Dae, just haven’t had time to start yet. Early reviews have been good so far, and seems like polarizing than same network different time slot rom-com Love Next Door which has stronger feelings either way of loving or disliking it. No Gain … 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. SBS Fri-Sat night legal drama Good Partner dealing with a family law firm started off very strong with increasing ratings each week up to a high of 17%. But the last three episodes dropped and is now … Continue reading →
If Song Kang is the son of Netflix then maybe Go Min Si is becoming the daughter of Netflix on her own sweet time. It’s been a stellar summer for the actress as she has been in back-to-back Netflix K-drama hits, with Sweet Home 3 in July and now thriller The Frog in August. She was always great in SH … Continue reading →

Her foil and likely partner in crime may … Continue reading →
There isn’t a lot of story per se with tvN drama Love Next Door, so it rests on the characterizations, interactions, and chemistry. And so far 4-episodes in it’s still a mixed bag for me. 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 I have no idea what happened but there is a change to one of the female actress leads in the K-drama Knock Off. Young actress Kim Shi Eun has dropped out and rookie actress Bang Hyo Rin has been cast in her role. Knock Off has already started filming so it’s a very interesting situation, and most recently happened … Continue reading →
I am so good with this if it comes true, as long as these two keep delivering the goods. K-ent casting gossip as Choi Woo Shik and Kim Da Mi in talks for a K-drama that if they accept would mark their third time acting onscreen together. He was a psychopath mutant and she killed him the first time around … 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. Sageuk romance Chunhwa Love Story released the first still of leads Go Ara and Chang Ryul this week and I was seriously unable to place that this was even in development. And then I realized the … Continue reading →
