K-actress Shin Hye Sun is really going to back-to-back-to-back on K-dramas, not that I am complaining.

I feel like it’s been so long since Song Joong Ki did a romance based drama or movie it almost felt like he wasn’t going back to that era in his career. But now it looks like while he enjoyed the successful genre jumping it looks like he will be doing a melo this year in 2024. He’s in talks … Continue reading →

Four people in dramatic wedding attire.

I remember many times K-netizens claiming to be outraged by a star and wanting to boycott this and that but it almost always ends up being decided on quality. Last year some thought Jo Byung Kyu‘s bullying allegations were never resolved and didn’t want to watch The Uncanny Counter 2, but it turns out the drama ratings never met the … Continue reading →

At least the formal response is swift and will hopefully put this to rest. If not then K-netizens need to decide if they simply want to keep digging into this. A day after Dispatch published an article claiming that investigation into Park Min Young‘s ex-boyfriend Kang and his financial misconduct case revealed that contrary to her earlier claim she did … Continue reading →

Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun Confirmed for jTBC Police Drama Good Boy

I sure hope this script is banging because K-actor Park Bo Gum has taken the longest hiatus to come back after finishing military service and I hope his selections airing this year are worth it. His last drama was Record of Youth in 2020 and now we’re in 2024 already, but he has filmed Thank You for Your Hard Work … Continue reading →

Historical drama with armed characters in conflict.

So Netflix split the airing of K-drama Gyeongseong Creature into a two week break but it was still the same season and series, not a season 1 and season 2 situation. The goal seemed to be to mirror The Glory where the first part was such a hit it really buoyed excitement and viewership for the second half. Unfortunately this … Continue reading →
