K-actress Go Yoon Jung may be going back to one well that made her famous and another that is known for elevating actors to next level. On the heels of the conclusion of Disney+ drama Moving where she played one of the three main high school leads, and did such a wonderful job, she’s been offered the lead in PD … Continue reading →
SLOW CLAP. Seriously, slow f*cking clapping here as I just finished watching the just released final 3 episodes of Moving, the little K-drama with the superpowered heart that may have just given Disney+ a new leash on life. Sadly the drama in the US is airing on Hulu which sucks donkey balls with commercials every 5 minutes leading me to … Continue reading →
Summer 2023 K-dramas have been just okay except for the breakout hit Moving on Disney+ but it’s time for the spate of fall 2023 K-dramas to arrive. A bunch of posters have been released in the recent week so it’s more fun to showcase all the upcoming dramas in one post. Old school KBS sageuk Goryeo-Khitan War dropped the desolate … Continue reading →
I feel like the big hammer has come down on K-actor Yoo Ah In after his drug arrest and investigation earlier this year but he hasn’t yet really felt the brunt of his criminal ways. At most he was summoned for long interrogations but an earlier request for detention was not granted by the court. This week Seoul prosecutors submitted … Continue reading →
Until I watched Park Kyu Young in one of my fave rom-coms Dali and the Cocky Prince I didn’t find her all that suitable as a romantic leading lady. Afterwards I realized she’s not just a natural at the rom-com cadence but she has excellent chemistry with her leading men, she had it in spades with both male leads in … Continue reading →
It’s an ouchie sad situation for K-actress Go Ah Sung, who signed on as the female lead for the 19+ rated sageuk drama Chunhwa Love Story but has to bow out now. She recently injured her lower back hit bone area and will require a 12 week recovery. The female lead will now be Go Ara paired with already confirmed … Continue reading →
So there has been a male lead swap but the age bracket is the same. Shin Mina and Kim Young Dae, rather than earlier rumored Lee Jong Won, will be pairing up for the K-drama Because I Don’t Want to Lose. It’s from the writer of Her Private Life and the PD of Work Later, Drink Now and is about … Continue reading →
SBS is prepping a new thriller crime drama dealing with the dark side of human nature. The drama is called Connection (not to be confused with Disney+ drama Connect) and will likely star Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do in a fantastic pairing of top veteran leads. The story revolves around a huge 5 billion inheritance left by a former … Continue reading →
So I finally checked out the first two episodes of Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun and I love it! Season 2 starts off by being directed better, less squinting of the eyes needed to see in dark scenes and a steadier hand in letting characters breath and flow. It’s an 8-year time jump in the drama narrative and picks … Continue reading →
So this weekend is the premiere on tvN of fantasy sageuk drama Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun, the continuation with a time jump of the 2020 drama that was always intended for multiple seasons but got derailed a bit due to lower than expected ratings and reviews. But a large scale drama intended for multiple seasons may have to … Continue reading →
This will be a weekend for me to see if season 2 of Arthdal Chronicles works for me. This Saturday tvN premiered Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun with aged up new leads Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung along with returning villains Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ok Bin. What is it that the nice folks grow older … Continue reading →
So I was never ever a Guo Jingming (Edward Guo) fan when he was huge in the mid-2010’s when he wrote those books and did Tiny Times movie series and L.O.R.D. the movie. What little I saw was all flash no substance. So I’m as surprised as any that I love C-drama My Journey to You which has both flash … Continue reading →
MBC continues to lag in ratings and buzz and I’m not expecting this drama to change much other than I’m curious and interested to watch it. The first stills are out for A Good Day to be a Dog adapted from a webtoon about a high school teacher with the curse to turn into a dog when she kisses someone. … Continue reading →
