I totally missed the entirety of the run of tvN weekend drama Typhoon Family, which started in mid-October and this Sunday aired the final episode. It was a combination of being super busy every weekend in October and also that while I like male lead Junho I am so unmotivated to watch anything with Kim Min Ha. She’s touted as … Continue reading →

Ever since veteran actor Lee Soon Jae hit 85 years old I’ve been dreading this inevitable news. Each year that he kept on working was a joy to behold and a reassurance that he was still able to do what he loved and was so good at. Alas the time has come to say goodbye to South Korea’s national grandpa … Continue reading →
I said already the soul swapping drama genre seems to be making a comeback and now we see another one in the planning. The webtoon One Hour of Romance (1/24 of Romance) will be getting a K-drama adaption and the leads in talks are Shin Hye Sun and Na In Woo. Shin Hye Sun is basically actress putty she can … Continue reading →
So it’s been both a relatively uneventful year in K-dramas (to date) with both buzzy hits and critically acclaimed releases. I still think when When the Stars Gossip premiered on January 4th, 2025 it just jinxed the entire year lol. Anyhoo, the Joynews poll of over a hundred K-ent insiders released their picks for Best K-drama Couple and it’s none … Continue reading →
So my early verdict is that MBC drama Moon River (The Moon Flows Over the River) has just arrived like a knight in shining armor to save a lackluster 2025 year in K-drama land. This drama is amazing and like the best K-drama crack, with all the elements set up perfectly and executed beautifully. It’s best described as if The … Continue reading →
The K-drama Remarried Empress adapted from the same name webtoon is female lead centric for sure but the more interesting characters are actually the male leads. Our Empress Navier is just perfect, beautiful and wise and caring, and her only drawback is that she is bad at communicating her feelings lol. We root for her because what happened to her … Continue reading →

Hoo boy do these four K-stars look phenomenal in character for the upcoming K-drama version of webtoon Remarried Empress. Even if it’s a hot mess adaptation (and honesty the webtoon was also a hot mess to begin with) at least the visuals will be glorious and spot on. Shin Mina does regal and classy Navier beautifully and Joo Ji Hoon … Continue reading →
