I don’t know how K-actress Park Min Young keeps managing to land promising dramas in recent years where there has been fewer and fewer of them. Earlier this year she delivered the first big K-drama of 2024 with Marry My Husband and then she took a few months off and looks to be coming back soon. She’s been offered the … Continue reading →

Videos of recent … Continue reading →
I feel like the wait for Serendipity’s Embrace (Korean title Is It Coincidence) has been as long as the two lead’s second chance romance in the drama. The promos started in late May and we’re not two months later but thankfully the drama arrives in mere days on July 22nd. Leads Kim So Hyun and Chae Jong Hyeob are featured … Continue reading →
There is a new K-drama on a quick rise to popularity and it’s one I initially didn’t have much interest in but whenever I hear something is legit good it’s always worth checking out. SBS premiered Good Partner with Jang Nara and Nam Ji Hyun last week and since then the drama has increased in ratings and got past the … Continue reading →
I like how the first teaser for upcoming tvN drama Love Next Door shows the leads just growing up together in a very lowkey way. Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are coming to the small screen next month on August 17th and we should all be so grateful to have a rom-com on the way especially when there … Continue reading →
So I’ve been dum-dum-hum-de-dum-ing along expecting word of when space romance big budget K-drama When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Star) with Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho was going to get a confirmed airing date on tvN. The drama has finished filming over a year ago with principal production between April 2022 to January 2023. Now it’s become … Continue reading →
I haven’t watched a weekend K-drama in years but will always remember fondly the heydays when there was always a chance to chance upon a good one. Not that the weekend dramas in recent years weren’t good but there seems to be a lack of excitement and buzz around any to make it worth checking out. Two bigger names will … Continue reading →

The K-drama Knock Off hasn’t even begun filming but it’s already generating more buzz than the normal level for any K-drama during the casting phase. It was already top of the anticipation pile due to being the next drama top star Kim Soo Hyun picked after his ratings setting drama Queen of Tears.

OMG I never even paired these two up in any fantasy casting and I can’t believe it didn’t cross my mind because hearing this real casting made me yelp out loud in excitement. Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook are confirmed for the workplace and romance K-drama The Man is Black Salt Dragon. It tells of two former gaming … Continue reading →
Hahaha, this is going to generate some debate but oh wells, it’s still one point of reference. U-Next the largest streaming platform in Japan is declaring Lovely Runner the number 1 most popular Hallyu K-drama in the first half of 2024. I have no doubt LR is mega popular in Japan and if it wasn’t for the presence of Queen … Continue reading →
