It’s with a grateful heart that I can report it’s safe to finally binge Lovely Runner if you haven’t started. Lol, I know there is fear of this drama going sideways or even off a cliff and the finale today confirmed it’s a lovely and happy ending all around. Huzzah to that, and to tvN for getting it’s second buzziest … Continue reading →
It’s that time wuri fans of Lovely Runner. That hurts so good time when you can’t wait to see how your favorite drama ends but so sad it’s over after that without any more excitement in the week-to-week waits. The little drama that could hit a new ratings high of 5.297% in episode 15, the first time it broke 5% … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen K-dramas release ancillary merch, that used to be so de rigueur during the era of probably 2008-2014, with super popular with the young fans drama producing DVD sets plus extra commentary, official OST CDs and maybe even fan concerts, and script books with annotations. NGL, I have some oldies but goodies in my closet … Continue reading →
There are actually three rather big name K-dramas that premiered in May 2024 but none so far have managed to capture the weekend ratings zeitgeist that was Queen of Tears in March and April, and even the cult fave sensation that is Lovely Runner on Mon-Tues. This weekend Connection with Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do aired on SBS Fri-Sat … Continue reading →
The 2000’s were definitely the heyday of K-dramas, or what constituted the classic genre of K-dramas that spawned the Hallyu wave with Winter Sonata in 2002. But this year is 2024 and K-netizens are using it to reminisce on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 year of K-dramas which when you assemble together is basically a powerhouse year of epic … Continue reading →

My relationship with procedural dramas is very season or mood dependent. When I’m in the mood I scarf up amazing works like Beyond Evil, Awaken (Night and Day), Train, and many of the really well made ones in recent years. But I haven’t been in the head space the last few months so even though the upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama … Continue reading →
After the whirlwind March and April in K-drama land where Queen of Tears dominated, May has quieted down with just one buzzy drama. It remains Lovely Runner with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok, nothing else in recent weeks has gotten either ratings or buzz not Atypical Family, The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, or Chief Detective 1958. All this … Continue reading →
This drama is scheduled for 2024 but we’re halfway done with the year already and it hasn’t gotten a definitive date. My guess is by year end maybe as a holiday season offering. Netflix fantasy K-drama Everything Will Come True released script reading stills of leads Kim Woo Bin and Suzy and both are serving all the right visuals and … Continue reading →
I don’t think this K-drama will arrive by summer time which is a shame because it feels like a warm breezy romance from the synopsis AND I am in desperate need for a heart gripping OTP and romance after finishing Queen of Tears. Currently filming romance drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Friend’s Son) could hit that sweet spot, starring two … Continue reading →
It’s time for the K-stars to descend on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and the first two are Han So Hee and Yoona.
