Dang, the claws are out with the entertainment reports in South Korea haha. I don’t know if they just DGAF but this seems like a way to burn bridges with stars.

The drama is from the PD of Descendants of the Sun and has pre production buzz due to … Continue reading →
So the week before Christmas all was not quite well in certain corners of the C-ent universe. There were talks recently of Dylan Wang joining Dilraba Dilmurat in a C-drama titled Love on the Turquoise Land (枭起青壤) where she would remain top billing as she has been in multiple dramas now for the past few years. Then came news that … Continue reading →
So the hope that Gyeongseong Creature would be this holiday season’s The Glory will likely not happen, but that doesn’t mean it’s a flop. The Glory was a massive hit for Netflix and the cast popularity and acclaim and I think the first reviews for Gyeongseong Creature indicate it will be a top watch for Netflix but not have as … Continue reading →
Okay, this is kinda big news if true. A K-ent report is saying that Song Kang will not attend the 2023 year end SBS Drama Awards.

This is a case where I wished the two dramas airing at separate times because the urge to compare is strongest when two shows are competing for viewership. Fri-Sat dramas My Demon on SBS and Story of Park’s Contract Marriage on MBC even share having a fantasy element in a romance drama and good looking young leads. I enjoy both … Continue reading →
tvN is premiered K-drama Marry My Husband on January 1, 2024 which feels apropos because it’s a second chance at life story that lets the wronged woman get pre-emptive revenge and also avoid her old fate.

There is a new poster for jTBC drama Dr. Slump and other than the title that keeps redirecting any searches for it to the famous Toriyama Akira manga of the same name, which annoys me when I can’t find news easily, now the lackluster first promos are annoying me. The drama stars Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik and … Continue reading →

I can’t say this drama has been quietly airing or under the radar because it has big name leads and a prime weekend time slot of a big cable network. But online chatter it definitely isn’t as buzzy but who cares as domestic ratings are rolling in. jTBC new Sat-Sun drama Welcome to Samdalri premiered around 5% and in the … Continue reading →
So yeah, Lee Se Young is a queen, if not one already then a queen in waiting because she is so underrated as one of the success stories of the child stars turns adult actors in K-ent. It probably happened because she’s right behind Moon Geun Young, same gen with Park Eun Bin, and then had the child star Kim … Continue reading →
The weekend K-dramas continue to deliver for me, but it’s the lower ratings ones that have me hooked. SBS Fri-Sat drama My Demon is really as simple as they come and works because of it.
