Even if this K-drama turns out to be just mid, as so many are these days, I’m still planning to watch for the visuals. Female lead IU in the upcoming MBC drama Perfect Crown plays the chaebol heiress who enters an arranged marriage with the nation’s prince to gain the prestige and status she can’t buy with money. She’s done … Continue reading →
It’s only been five years since the first season of Yumi’s Cells aired in 2021 but it feels twice that long honestly. The drama did a great job of adapting the webtoon and also managed the messiness of love and breakups through two seasons of fairly realistic and happy/sad emotional beats. But the big break between season 2 and the … Continue reading →
This drama was cast in late 2025 but won’t arrive on screens until 2027, but it’s a big production so that is understandable. Which means the drama continues to add cast members this year and the latest addition is Choi Hyun Wook. The actor has joined Soul starring Kang Dong Won and Kim Go Eun, and penned by hitmaker Park … Continue reading →
Period dramas don’t immediately refer to historicals, these days as time moves forward even what feels like just yesteryear is now a “period” piece with defined aesthetics and bygone elements. Netflix has released the first stills for the K-drama Tantara (Korean title Show Business) set in the modern era of South Korean entertainment, it starts in the 1960s and goes … Continue reading →
Oh this is not good news to wake up and see for me. If true what a shame, a clean reputation to date tanked to save on taxes. K-ent is reporting that actor-singer Cha Eun Woo is under investigation for tax evasion by the government, and it actually started in spring of 2025 so last year. The gist of it … Continue reading →
I don’t think I’ve seen quite this shade of neon green in a Joseon hanbok before but here is Son Ye Jin rocking the electric dress in the first stills from the K-drama Scandal. It’s the drama adaptation of the movie Untold Scandal, which is itself adapting the novel Dangerous Liaisons. Son Ye Jin is the rich lady mastermind pushing … Continue reading →
Every time I think K-actress Park Min Young has grown too tried and true for me, doing nonstop dramas and her roles start to blend one into the other, that’s when she surprises me. Marry My Husband was a big surprise hit two years ago, and now I think she has a shot to surprise again with the upcoming tvN … Continue reading →
Already January 2026 is off to a better start than last year, where the massive interstellar turkey When the Stars Gossip kicked off last year by launching itself from inside a crap star to destroy my eyes and brain cells. In just three weeks K-dramas has seen a slew of new premieres with plenty of different genres for the varied … Continue reading →
I know what I’m doing this weekend, lol! Binging all 12-episodes of Netflix K-drama Can This Love be Translated, bringing two leads I like like Kim Sun Ho and Go Yoon Jung with a script by the hit or miss but always worth checking out Hong Sisters. The streaming platform released its first big K-drama of the year this Friday … Continue reading →
I feel like Park Min Young has so many remakes associated with Japan. She’s either been in K-drama remakes of J-doramas the most recent being Confidence Queen or her dramas have been remade in Japan such as Marry My Husband or her drama is simply insanely popular in Japan like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. That’s great for her and … Continue reading →
Lol, if this drama isn’t set up solely to be a love triangle, to the degree that the first teaser is only the love triangle. jTBC has released the first look at upcoming rom-com K-drama The Practical Guide to Love adapted from the webtoon Efficient Dating for Singles and it’s an old school throwback to the very set up that … Continue reading →
So I give stars ample opportunity to change my mind about him or her but in the case of Lee Jin Wook it’s been over twenty years and a dozen K-dramas and still this actor does nothing for me. There are other stars I’ve loved in K-dramas who have stopped acting and/or left the industry and it’s just weird he’s … Continue reading →
So the drama title is stylized exactly to read The WONDERfools, soon to air in 2026 on Netflix and starring Park Eun Bin and Cha Eun Woo. I can’t even describe what this drama is about better than Netflix itself with this blurb – “A goofy group of townies stumbles into superpowers and fights rising evil as doomsday panic grows … Continue reading →
