It was preview week for Disney+ on their upcoming 2026 slate of K-dramas so the first look teaser is also out for supernatural themed K-drama Delusion. It’s adapted from the same name dark webtoon and stars Suzy and Kim Sun Ho in a change of their usual bright and sunshiny image, and of course a reunion from Start-up. Her character … Continue reading →
So it’s 2026 K-drama preview time and in addition to the first look at Remarried Empress there are also the first ever drama stills out from MBC modern romance Perfect Crown (Korean title 21st Century Prince’s Wife). Starring IU and Byun Woo Seok, this is one of the three biggest on deck K-dramas for next year in 2026 with the … Continue reading →
Hoo boy do these four K-stars look phenomenal in character for the upcoming K-drama version of webtoon Remarried Empress. Even if it’s a hot mess adaptation (and honesty the webtoon was also a hot mess to begin with) at least the visuals will be glorious and spot on. Shin Mina does regal and classy Navier beautifully and Joo Ji Hoon … Continue reading →
It’s nice of Joynews to confirm that K-ent industry insiders also view the same turkeys in K-drama land sucking as bad as regular viewers thought of them. If you wasted any time on watching these then my condolences, for others please use this to avoid hurting your brain. Topping the poll of 110 industry insiders on worst K-drama of 2025 … Continue reading →
The annual year end lists tend to start earlier and earlier which is fine, the last two months tend to fly by anyways. The annual Joynews poll of 110 K-ent insiders from producers, to agents, to writers, to directors and more is out and the first category is Top Drama Actor/Actress of the year. IU leads with 23 votes thanks … Continue reading →
Legal K-drama Good Partner was a big win last year in K-drama land even when it finished there was talk of a second season. Good Partner 2 is for sure happening now but with a change in one of the lead actresses. Kim Hye Yoon will be taking over for Nam Ji Hyun who is not returning for GP2, so … Continue reading →
I won’t read into the reason given as it could be true or just an excuse but I think this may be a smart choice for Jeon Ji Hyun. The top actress has turned down big budget and high profile espionage and political thriller K-drama The Koreans opposite Lee Byung Hun. She will instead head into filming fantasy romance K-drama … Continue reading →
C-dramas have been on a casting spurt for 2026 projects and I hope to see more coming out of K-drama land as well. This one looks promising to me, Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo are in talks for a cable network ENA K-drama Romance Expert (or Romance Ph.D). Kim So Hyun’s character was a student about to major … Continue reading →
The diss on Jang Ki Yong is that he has the whole visual package but his acting remains very rote and average. With that said, he always exhibits onscreen romantic chemistry with any female lead and any time I see him do a couple’s pictorial it’s always A+++ level. That means something right lol? He along with female lead Ahn … Continue reading →
When I see the posters and teaser stills for K-drama Dear X it totally gives off a certain vibe and I couldn’t quite place my finger on it until recently. It’s giving off teen/young adult angst vampire movie vibes, like a K-version of Twilight more than a serial killer type show. No diss since the end production remains to be … Continue reading →
It’s nearing the end of the year already and for K-dramas there are only a few left that will premiere in the next two months. I’m looking forward to SBS rom-com K-drama Dynamite Kiss (She Shouldn’t Have Kissed) with Ahn Eun Jin and Jang Ki Yong, a totally unexpected onscreen pairing but one that could work. She can act circles … Continue reading →
Currently Yoona and Lee Chae Min are probably in the lead for favorite romance K-drama OTP pairing in 2025, with runner ups probably Han Ji Min and Lee Joon Hyuk in Love Scout and also IU and Park Bo Gum in When Life Gives You Tangerines. There is two more months left in the year and this upcoming drama has … Continue reading →
The title for Jeon Ji Hyun‘s most recent last drama Tempest ended up being fitting for all the wrong reasons, with scenes and dialogue drawing the ire of Mainland Chinese viewers for what was deemed insulting to their country. A true tempest in a teapot if you will. But life goes on and she’s now in talks for her next … Continue reading →
