It’s been slow for me in K-drama land but with the end of May arrival of Good Boy on jTBC and then the mid-June arrival of Our Movie on SBS there are two dramas I’m looking forward to that could potential hold my interest. Our Movie from synopsis sounds like a true classic melo, with Namgoong Min playing a movie … Continue reading →
A new K-drama got the main cast finalized this week and it a reunion from a long time ago. Park Shin Hye and Go Kyung Pyo will be the leads in tvN drama Miss Undercover Boss airing on tvN. It’s a comedic drama set in the late 1990’s during the IMF crisis, the female lead is a top managerial employee … Continue reading →
We’ve passed the midway point of May woo hoo which means it’s closer and closer to the premiere of jTBC drama Good Boy. I’ve been in such a K-drama slump since When Life Gives You Tangerines and it’s only fitting that another Park Bo Gum drama will bring me back to K-drama land from his prior one. Good Boy isn’t … Continue reading →
My mad love and respect for K-actress Kim Go Eun continues to grow with news about how she’s managing her career. She’s coming off a new career high with Exhuma being both a box office mega hit and also winning her tons of acting awards, yet she’s still someone of her word. She said when she accepted the K-drama of … Continue reading →
Oh boy, not sure I like this story set up at all just from the brief blurb. But if Suzy does indeed take the drama then I guess I have to check out the webtoon to see it’s hopefully just a dumb sounding story board but executed in an entertaining way. Suzy has been offered the lead role in the … Continue reading →
The cast of Answer Me 1988 is/was very close and in the past would get together from time to time in the intervening 10 years since the drama aired. I say was now because two costars dated and then broke up so not sure if the full group hangouts be happening go forward. But I rarely saw leads Park Bo … Continue reading →
I love getting a peek into any voting process (let me inside Conclave!) and for the 2025 Baeksang Awards the judges are revealing the votes behind the scenes. For the Best Actor and Best Actress, the most coveted for the acting industry, it was not what I was thinking behind the scenes. Kim Tae Ri was near unanimous in getting … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I love this gritty and bold vibe for the character posters just released by jTBC for the K-drama Good Boy. The six main leads are Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, Oh Jung Se, and Tae Won Seok with the majority playing former Olympic level sporting champs turned cops. It’s been a few … Continue reading →
There is a first for everything and it looks like Good Boy is indeed the goodest of boys what with the broader than usual release. The jTBC airing K-drama will be available for streaming on both Netflix and Disney+ in Korea at the same time, the first that the competitor platforms have agreed to a simulstream situation. This will only … Continue reading →
It’s May, hurray! I hate the fast passage of time most of the time except when it harkens the arrival of a drama or movie I’m anticipating. And this end of May will see jTBC drop Good Boy finally, and with it hopefully kickstarting a good summer in K-drama land. The drama stars Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun … Continue reading →
The trickle is becoming a steadier stream and may portend the dam breaking soon. Last week it was reportedly that Disney+ told the production of K-drama Knock Off starring embattled K-actor Kim Soo Hyun that it would not resume filming and to go off and work on other projects and not be on standby anymore, basically indicating it was abandoning … Continue reading →
A very public rebuke and distancing just happened in K-ent and is making huge headlines. Actor-singer Lee Seung Gi has announced that he and his actress wife Lee Da In have severed all ties with his in-law family (her family) on the heels of his father-in-law being indicted again for stock manipulation. The father-in-law is Lee Da In’s stepfather and … Continue reading →
Legal, medical, and procedural K-dramas are the tried and true three stalwart genres, when in doubt just bibimbap one of these with the usual elements but rejiggered. A new legal drama is coming titled Pro Bono which brings me back to my law school and early years of practice when I still had the fervor and energy for it. The … Continue reading →
