I like Kang Tae Oh a lot but the OMFG *&^%#&* aspect of hearing this casting all comes at the very end of the news article. Kang Tae Oh will be starring in the sageuk drama The Moon Flows Over the River as his next project, which is great and all because he was so great in The Tale of … Continue reading →
Oh this sounds cute and a great pairing as well! Since there aren’t as many K-dramas being produced anymore I feel like each project needs to have the best casting ever just to keep me interested beyond just the story which frankly these days in any genre is shades of been there done that. A new romance K-drama is in … Continue reading →
Oooh, it’s getting close to the long wait being over for the return of a highly rated and strongly reviewed K-drama with a new season after 5 years. The Fiery Priest 2 with original leads Kim Nam Gil, Honey Lee, and Kim Sung Kyun released first character posters this week and it’s great to see three top leads back together … Continue reading →
I’ve heard mixed things about Shin Hye Sun and her currently airing K-drama Dear Hyeri but my aversion to her male lead makes me skip unless it’s trending as a seminal work. So I’m extra excited to hear she’s already in talks for her next drama titled Lady Dior and it’s definitely named after the French couture house. She would … Continue reading →
This weekend is the premiere of new Sat-Sun drama Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born taking over for Love Next Door. It’s adapted from a critically acclaimed webtoon of the same name about a country girl with natural performance talent aspiring to join the all-female traditional theater known as Yeoseong Gukgeuk developed after WWII to for traditional gisaengs to earn a … Continue reading →
I’m so happy to hear news of an upcoming K-drama for Kim Yoo Jung, and it sounds interesting to boot. She’s been offered the female lead in sageuk drama 100 Days of Lies, a drama where she plays Gyeongseong the capital city’s best pickpocket. After getting involved with the independence movement, she goes undercover in the Joseon city government as … Continue reading →
While there aren’t as many K-dramas being produced as before and frankly most are just not that interesting to me, I am fully intending to watch SBS drama The Judge From Hell but just haven’t had the time to start yet. So it’s a relief to hear the drama with strong word of mouth and even better progressively increasing ratings. … Continue reading →
I guess its not time yet for K-actor Jung Hae In to start afresh when it comes to his representation. Right after his last drama Love Next Door finished airing came news that he was renewing or re signing his contract with long time agency FNC Entertainment. He feels the agency has treated him well and he’s very loyal among … Continue reading →
The experience of watching Love Next Door for me was a frustrating one so having it end this weekend felt like a release of sorts. Now I don’t have to keep waiting each week for the drama to get better as a whole while accepting the little nuggets of satisfying moments and scenes strung between filler. One thing tvN did … Continue reading →
Keeping expectations low is the name of the game for me when it comes to upcoming November K-drama Brewing Love. I enjoy both leads Kim Se Jung and Lee Jong Won but remain easily disappointed with K-drama rom-com plots these days. But then I remember how Kim Se Jung hit it out of the part with A Business Proposal and … Continue reading →
So I totally forgot this movie was filming and also fell off from reading updates on new chapters of the webtoon haha. Life got busy and also NGL the Korean webtoon Omniscient Reader Viewpoint just got too long ala One Piece, but not that long yet. The webtoon got a K-movie adaptation announced two years ago with leads Ahn Hyo … Continue reading →
I haven’t written about tvN weekend drama Love Next Door the last few weeks because I did check out from full watching after the narratively frustrating first half of the drama, and the inconsistent chemistry of leads Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, which to date I can’t figure out if it’s their natural chemistry issue or their acting … Continue reading →
It’s ironic that an article about the decrease in K-drama production and many established stars having a dearth of script offers is followed by news of a rookie landing a big project. Rising young actress Hong Hwa Yeon will be the female lead in SBS drama Treasure Island, with male lead Park Hyung Sik and veteran Heo Joon Ho. She … Continue reading →
