So there is a Chinese saying that to untie a bell one needs the person who tied the bell (è§£éˆ´é‚„é ˆç¹«éˆ´äºº) which means that to resolve a problem one needs the person who caused it in the first person to do so. See You in My 19th Life turns out to be exactly that. Ji Eum’s memory spanning reincarnations came from … Continue reading →
The promos for this upcoming jTBC drama absolutely sell very specific product and for some reason it’s just not for me. The next Sat-Sun drama from the cable network will be Behind Your Touch starring Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho and it seems like a cross between Hometown Cha Cha Cha and a Stephen Chow movie. Han … Continue reading →
Wow, I can see this very drama premise triggering since it deals with a very distressing act that sets things in motion. Hopefully there is a trigger warning and then the rest of the drama tries its darnedest to make it not happen. tvN has scheduled a new drama with the literal title Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN has a solid lineup for the remainder of the year and coming in September 2023 will be the quite unknown what to expect Arthdal Chronicles 2. It’s called Arthdal Chronicles: Sword of Aramun (or Aramoon) and takes place in a time jump from the original drama with the switch of leads Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji … Continue reading →
Oh, so this drama totally has a past life component, which is what ties leads Ro Woon and Jo Boa together in the present day in upcoming jTBC drama Destined with You. Neither are strangers to this very conceit, Ro Woon has it in Extraordinary You and Jo Boa dealt with it in Tale of Gumiho, and in both cases … Continue reading →
It’s additional promo time for tvN drama My Lovely Liar leads Kim So Hyun and Minhyun in a magazine pictorial. There isn’t much to say beyond I LOVE THEM TOGETHER and it’s just the vibe of fresh, young romance emanating from the pages. For those who think these two look-a-like in the sense they have couples face it’s totally true … Continue reading →
Last year in 2022 was the first ever Blue Dragon Series Awards as the awards body until then was exclusively a movie awards ceremony. So this year in 2023 its only the 2nd annual Blue Dragon Series Awards and last nights in person ceremony was full of big name stars but devoid of any meaningful and well dressed fashion per … Continue reading →
K-actress has a new K-drama coming out this summer with Disney+ production of school aged superpower drama Moving and she’s signed on for another drama with Joo Ji Hoon already. Now she’s considering an offer to star in healing romance K-drama In Your Brilliant Season, and just throwing in the word Brilliant got me nostalgic for one of the best … Continue reading →
K-actor Jang Ki Yong is back from military service and his first project will be the K-drama Although I am Not a Hero with costar Chun Woo Hee. The production just confirmed both leads and announced it will commence filming shortly. Jang Ki Yong plays a superhero who loses his powers after an illness.

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 →
