I’ve been mostly out of commission since the new year so haven’t watched any new K-drama in a few weeks. I’m trying to finish up I am Not a Robot (so nonsensical but sweet) and Hwayugi (entertaining but inconsistent) but two high profile new releases this month have both started off promising already. SBS Wed-Thurs police thriller Return with Go Hyun … Continue reading →
This is a rather unexpected turn of events but probably for the best. Both Yoon Eun Hye and Yoon Hyun Min have turned down the offer to be the leads for the upcoming sci-fi romance drama Love Like a Human. The drama would have been Yoon Eun Hye’s first drama since 2013 with Marry Him if You Dare whereas Yoon … Continue reading →
I’ll reserve judgment until the drama airs but this is certainly an interesting choice of male leads for Kim Yoo Jung in her upcoming drama Clean With Passion For Now. Confirmed as male lead is young actor Ahn Hyo Seob and Song Jae Rim is also joining the main cast playing a new character not in the webtoon which this … Continue reading →
There’s been a drama title switch and also a lead confirmation for upcoming SBS legal thriller formerly called Peacock King. The title is now Switch (Change the World) and will still be headlining Jang Geun Seok, and he will be pairing up with Han Ye Ri who has accepted the role as female lead. Jang Geun Seok will be playing … Continue reading →
I legit let out a high pitched yelp when I saw this casting combo floated over the news. K-ent is reporting that Hyun Bin has received the offer to be the male lead of upcoming SBS drama Yeowoo Gaksibyeo (translates to Fox Bride Star). Last week the production announced that it was courting Park Shin Hye to be the female lead … Continue reading →
I’m not sure who the target audience is for the Cheese in the Trap movie but if there are any then the film has been confirmed to hit the theaters on Valentine’s Day weekend of 2018. That’s less than a month away and there hasn’t been any promos yet so that’s not going to bring in the audience by stealth. … Continue reading →
It’s hard to follow up a mega mega hit which is why it’s understandable that both leads of 2016 romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds haven’t picked their followup drama since then. That’s changing now as female lead Kim Yoo Jung has finally said yes to the K-drama adaptation of webtoon Clean With a Passion for Now. K-ent is calling … Continue reading →
I don’t know how K-netizens are going to react to this casting but I’m all for it though nervous in a different way. K-actor Seo In Guk has been cast as the male lead for the upcoming Korean remake of J-dorama A Million Stars Falling From the Sky (Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi or also known as The Smile … Continue reading →
The only dark thriller type drama I watched the entirety of last year was OCN‘s fantasy procedural Black. That was spurred by curiosity over whether Song Seung Heon improved and could hack it (he did!) but I stayed for the interesting and cool story mapped out by the screenwriter who also wrote God’s Gift: 14 Days. Interest in the leads … Continue reading →
I can’t imagine what the Jeon family is going through and wish so much this news turned out to be a misreport. The exact cause of death of Jeon Tae Soo after being found deceased in his apartment will likely not be revealed to the public at the behest of the family, who have asked for the media and netizens … Continue reading →
I’m still unable to formulate a reaction to the love line in fantasy tvN drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). For Lee Seung Gi‘s recent dramas it’s always been so clear to me how I felt – insane love for the OTP in A King 2 Hearts, the female lead Suzy‘s wooden acting ruining the romantic connection in Gu Family Book, … Continue reading →
Casting took a new turn in one week with upcoming MBC drama My Husband Oh Jak Doo. Initially it was reported the Han Sun Hwa and Lee Min Jung were in talks as the female leads and a week later it’s suddenly UEE who is confirmed for the main role. Joining her is a surprise with Kim Kang Woo as … Continue reading →
It’s because I love Kim Yoo Jung that I legit did a double take when I came across her recent pictures from the last two weeks. She looks noticeably different to me, and that’s in connection with a new hair color with red shot highlights. She’s arguably one of Korea’s most famous three K-drama child actresses alongside decade earlier originator … Continue reading →
