So this is not the news I was hoping to hear, I was ready for this drama to be shelved for a lot longer. At least until Kim Soo Hyun‘s scandal has more definitive resolution, right now it’s just him denying the allegations that he dated then underaged Kim Sae Ron who later committed suicide after her own career downfall. … Continue reading →
The start of 2026 in K-drama land hasn’t been smooth. Netflix had a good showing with Can This Love be Translated but shortly thereafter male lead Kim Sun Ho got into a tax evasion scandal. Only Ji Sung and The Judge Returns is doing well in K-drama land but not enough to generate stronger buzz. So SBS really needs to … Continue reading →
This feels like the perfect role reversal and one that will likely appeal to K-viewers. Shin Ye Eun is in talks for the K-drama High School Queen, adapted from a webtoon about a former Joseon era warrior queen reincarnated into a modern day high school student who uses her martial arts skills and powerful presence to punish bullies. She’s such … Continue reading →
This drama Boyfriend on Demand looks so silly but could be fun if done in a tongue-and-cheek way. But I fear female lead Jisoo, doing the heavy lifting from her role, will get slammed yet again for her acting and diction. It’s like she keeps trying to be an actress and K-netizens keep refusing to accept her lol. This drama … Continue reading →
I feel like the mid-2010s just whooshed right back and erased a decade with this casting, lol. Nothing wrong with it but it does feel old school. Seo In Guk and Krystal have been cast in romance K-drama An Officer Worker Who Sees Fate, adapted from the same name webtoon. He plays a guy destined to become a fortune teller … Continue reading →
The follow up project after a breakout hit for any star is always interesting news and comes with heightened scrutiny. With great power comes greater responsibility lol. K-actor Lee Chae Min ended last year on a career high thanks to K-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (The Tyrant’s Chef) which was one of the biggest hits of 2025. Now he’s in … Continue reading →
We should have gotten these first lol. What’s a good romance drama promo without starting with the romance aspect of it, namely stills of the leads in one frame. The two newly released drama stills from Perfect Crown finally show something happening with leads IU and Byun Woo Seok. His character has been quite two-dimensional for me in the promos … Continue reading →
The Cha Eun Woo tax evasion scandal started before his fellow agency mate Kim Sun Ho but that one wrapped up quickly (admission and apology and payment of taxes) while his seems to still be ongoing for whatever reason. For scandals its a double edged sword of concluding quickly to move on faster or drag on until hopefully the next … Continue reading →
There are many shelved dramas in both K-ent and C-ent, ones that have never seen the light and others released quietly a long time after whatever scandal halted its release. The high profile big budget Signal 2 (The Second Signal), the long awaited second season to the hit 2016 tvN drama has likely joined that ignominious group. This week tvN … Continue reading →
Oh I’m down with this unexpected and fresh K-drama pairing. Kim Sung Cheol and Jin Ki Joo are in talks for a new medical K-drama titled Sleeping Doctor (or Doctor Sleep) described as a healing drama. Both will play doctors, with her as someone who has experienced sexual assault and learned to overcome it, but is also plagued by narcolepsy … Continue reading →
Some great news on a sequel front overall, but comes with one downside development. The production of hit K-drama Moving is closely to moving forward to start filming season 2, and Moving 2 will be written by the same original webtoon writer who did the first season that helped make it so good. This week K-ent reported that mommy and … Continue reading →
I have a confession, I’ve never finished watching Lovely Runner lol. I liked the first two episodes, but life got busy and I put it aside and never got back to it even after it became a breakout hit. That means I still don’t personally understand the meteoric rise of Byun Woo Seok but it’s a double edged sword for … Continue reading →
The fallout is already starting to be covered in K-ent with the recent tax evasion scandals with same agency stars Cha Eun Woo and then Kim Sun Ho. For Kim Sun Ho, this past day his agency Fantagio announced that he has accepted responsibility and is reflecting on not following procedures for opening his personal agency and the funds flow, … Continue reading →
