So tvN has been very good to viewers anticipating its upcoming K-drama The Queen of Tears as there has been a steady stream of promos since the beginning of February. The latest release shows leads Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won showing off their good looks through the three stages of a relationship. The first is cheerfully dating with … Continue reading →
So I could totally swear that K-actor Na In Woo was done with his military service already, I guess I thought he was in his 30s and older then he really is. He’s only 29 years old and will be heading to his mandatory military service next month in March 2024. He will first attend a team reward trip to … Continue reading →
So I would never be interested in this K-drama but for the cast and director involved, I love every one of them SO MUCH. The upcoming Netflix drama Chicken Nugget with Ryu Seung Ryong and Ahn Jae Hong premiering on March 15th released the first poster and teaser and I was just basically teleported back to one of my favorite … Continue reading →
So Kim Soo Hyun has romanced a few rich/powerful/famous female lead characters in his most popular dramas and it appears he’s adding another one to his onscreen dating history. Kim Ji Won in Queen of Tears absolutely channels Jeon Ji Hyun in You From Another Star, IU in Producer, and Seo Ye Ji in It’s Okay to Not be Okay. … Continue reading →
I give Cha Eun Woo credit for taking on drama after drama and continuing to improve. His micro expressions and quite decent comedic timing in his most recent drama A Good Day to be a Dog reminded me yet again that in the right role he’s quite pleasing and pleasant to watch onscreen. He is also willing to expand beyond … Continue reading →
Boy am I glad I was too busy in RL to start watching Marry My Husband last month because I could absolutely imagine my own rage right now. The drama last week introduced BoA playing a new character not in the webtoon, the ex-fiancee of the male lead, and from her arrival the entire plot apparently has gone from satisfying … Continue reading →
So My Dearest ended the 2023 year strong for sageuks and now 2024 is off to a great start thanks to Knight Flower and also Captivating the King. The latter was more of a slow burn start and the ratings have only in the most recent episodes 9-10 nearly doubled from the premiere. The reviews are stellar for male lead … Continue reading →
Viewers complain, rightfully so, that K-dramas start strong and then fade or fall off a cliff in script quite often. So it’s both a blessing and a sadness when a strong drama that remains strong will be on the shorter end of a usual run. MBC weekend drama Knight Flower with Honey Lee and Lee Jong Won has been the … Continue reading →
So this is a weird weekend for jTBC drama Dr. Slump and I can’t tell if it’s an anomaly or portending a trend. The drama started off with 4% ratings going up to 6% which is great, but this weekend it dropped by nearly half down to 3.735% and 3.868%. Of course it’s also the same weekend as lunar new … Continue reading →
It’s lunar new year today! And the year of the Dragon to boot, which is my year haha and those who know auspicious signs knows that one’s birth year is always fraught with the possibility high highs and low lows. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy year ahead and have some latest SNS updates from my favorite K-star agency Namoo … Continue reading →
So the premise for Queen of Tears wasn’t anywhere near enough to suss out the tenor of the drama. Is it a melodrama, a romance drama, a melo thriller, an office romance, who knew but the drama starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won certainly got the attention anyways. But the latest posters and previews shed more light on … Continue reading →
So apparently this week’s new episodes of Marry My Husband maybe didn’t exactly drive off a cliff but got scarily close, especially with the arrival of both the crazy ex-fiancee and the Truck of Doom. Haha, really? For a drama that got a lot of love for being refreshing it’s sad to see the narrative turns towards nonsensical reactions and … Continue reading →
It’s unfortunate that K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines starring Park Bo Gum and IU is airing on Netflix because if it aired domestically on either television or cable there would be ratings to gauge how popular this drama is, and from what I can see this story is straight up catnip for South Korean tastes. The first look at … Continue reading →
