So this is a fantasy/office/romance plus the noona-dongsaeng age difference which feels like a throwback only because it’s not being done as frequently as prior years. A new K-drama got cast this week called Branding in Seongsudong starring Kim Ji Eun and Park Solomon (Lomon) which is a weird pairing if any. She plays a top marketing executive who is … Continue reading →
I had to double check and confirmed that tvN weekend drama See You in My 19th Life is ending next weekend, it sure is as the drama is only 12-episodes long. That makes for a very tight narrative and this drama has done so, and the only filler scenes for me are the OTP hanging out scenes because I still … Continue reading →
Lol, can I send this back and ask for a re-do? The first drama posters are out for jTBC romance Destined with You and it’s so flat and a big nothing-burger of chemistry and energy. Female lead Jo Boa is really hit or miss when it comes to her onscreen romantic chemistry with her male lead but she is still … Continue reading →
The jTBC drama King the Land has been the unexpected success of the K-drama 2023 summer season and deserves it. Coasting on a flimsy script and recycled tropes, Junho and Yoona have delivered the ratings and buzz on their charm alone, there is no doubting it. The rumors of a real life relationship (denied) have added to the luster but … Continue reading →
When I heard the title of this drama and the male lead in talks it just felt like a match made in heaven. K-actor Park Bo Gum is considering the lead role in an upcoming K-drama titled Good Boy. It’s about an Olympic level medal winning boxer who transitions into a police officer in the special forces/major crimes unit. He … Continue reading →
It’s middle of July which means we are two weeks out from the premiere of tvN drama My Lovely Liar. I can’t wait for Kim So Hyun‘s return to the small screen, her acting alone makes even the most mediocre of dramas still worth watching. Minhyun is also improving a lot and it helps that he is just handsome and … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of punny titles where two words sharing the same ending and beginning letters are mashed together, I always mentally pronounce it wrong before breaking it apart. Actor-idol Junho is currently smashing recent rom-com ratings and buzz with jTBC drama King the Land which is his second consecutive hit after sageuk The Red Sleeve Cuff and he’s … Continue reading →
Okay this is a wow cast and a really odd place to be producing such a drama. TVING has announced an exclusive sageuk drama airing on the streaming platform called Queen Woo. Movie actress Jeon Jong Seo plays the titular Queen Woo of Goguryeo who loses her husband the King and must consolidate her power as his widow by levirate … Continue reading →
We just got a super early sneak peek at tvN drama Castaway Diva (Diva of the Deserted Island) which is scheduled to air in October 2023 on tvN.

It’s totally summer 2023 season in full swing now and as C-dramas are dropping new shows like confetti the K-drama land remains more steady in scheduling. In July so far, there are three K-dramas that have been ranking in the top 10 global list of most watched Netflix shows. jTBC romance King the Land is the most popular K-drama on … Continue reading →
This sageuk continues to look better and better and I’m talking about MBC drama My Dearest (Lovers) which harkens back to a more low key feel. Leads Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin are styled to look way more realistic in period wear along with minimal makeup. It allows their acting to take center stage and we can see so … Continue reading →
Man, these two were totally playing coy with the early promos for King the Land. I remember finding leads Junho and Yoona, whom I adore as actors and stars, looking more like platonic BFFs than potential romantic partners based on chemistry. It got better after the drama aired but seeing these new promo stills from Netflix, which is streaming the … Continue reading →
With Son Seok Kyu turning down the Hong Sisters romance Can This Love be Translated, he’s instead doing Nine Puzzle with Kim Da Mi. The drama is slated for 2024 but remains top shelf in casting talent and behind the scenes team. The PD directed the movie The Spy Gone North and the drama Narco-Saints so Nine Puzzle being a … Continue reading →
