I still remember when Sweet Home was released around Christmas in 2020 and wow was it a fun ride. I still like the webtoon better (more character development) but the drama cast well and brought the wild humans turning into their id monsters conceit to life. Today Netflix released Sweet Home 2 on December 1st earlier than the holiday season … Continue reading →
I don’t know how the production of upcoming K-drama Mom’s Friend’s Son managed to get two perfect leads in talks but I could not be happier. The drama has lined up Jung Hae In and bonus points for this being his first rom-com which is still so surprisingly that he got so popular and established without doing one yet. Now … Continue reading →
It’s surreal to look back on 2020 not just as the year of COVID-19 spreading which sucks for most everyone but also a good year for some people. That year K-actress Seo Ye Ji hit the pinnacle of her career with It’s Not to Not Be Okay which airing on Netflix during the pandemic lockdown and having a fascinating female … Continue reading →
Sooooo…..this is supposed to be a romance sageuk drama? Am I reading this incorrectly or what based on the poster totally not jibing with the title. KBS is readying a January 2024 premiere of sageuk drama Love Song for Illusion based on the webtoon Fantasy Sonata, and it’s all sorts of incongruous to me on what to expect. The poster … Continue reading →

So I hear that Go Back Couple is one of those underrated and recommended faves from K-drama watchers but it’s still parked on my growing list of dramas I need to go back and watch (pun intended). Now leads Jang Nara and Son Ho Jun are reuniting in a new TV Chosun drama My Happy Ending and seeing the posters … Continue reading →
This is like the tamest wardrobe malfunction ever and rather cutely handled by the star in question and the considerate hosts. K-actress Ahn Eun Jin was up for Best New Actress at this weekend’s film industry only 2023 Blue Dragon Awards and she looked sleek in a strapless white encrusted column gown until she had a little wardrobe malfunction on … Continue reading →

Method acting is one of the regularly lauded performance commitments for actors and actresses and it’s understandable when one goes to a physical transformation for a role. But I don’t understand why Park Min Young went full cancer patient in her upcoming tvN K-drama Marry My Husband, because it’s just not needed. This is not an Oscar prestige film like … Continue reading →

He used to do at least one K-drama if not two a year and that made sense since he was building and cementing his acting resume. Since discharge he did the successful thriller drama Big Mouse in 2022 and … Continue reading →
I’ve been watching recently finished tvN Mon-Tues drama Twinkling Watermelon since it premiered and it has been one of the most consistently satisfying K-dramas in recent memory.
