I applaud writer Kim Eun Hee for continuing to challenge herself and this genre of horror is in she’s been tangentially dabbling with in her recent dramas. Jirisan had spooky bits and zombie sageuk Kingdom was scary as heck at times though zombie occupies its own genre outside of just pure supernatural horror. Her upcoming early 2023 SBS drama The … Continue reading →

Holy roller coaster take off, the production of Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 went from talk, talk, in discussion, coming soon to FILMING RIGHT NOW in the span of a day. The production team confirmed today that the script reading has taken place already and filming starts next week in mid-August 2022 through at least the end of the year and … Continue reading →
I feel like the PD must’ve pulled lots of strings and probably had so much goodwill from stars who worked with him before that he could assemble this variety cast dream team for upcoming TVing show Youth MT. The first poster is out and shows all three drama casts from Moonlight Drawn by Clouds with leads Park Bo Gum and … Continue reading →
If upcoming ENA Wed-Thurs drama Good Job has a solid script then it really can bank on the momentum of its predecessor drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo as it takes over the time slot later in August. The chemistry of the leads will be there as it’s the modern reunion for Jung Il Woo and Yuri after they surprised the sageuk … Continue reading →
The warmth and camaraderie among the leads of Extraordinary Attorney Woo has translated to the small screen and added to why the drama is so wonderful to watch. Each of the five leads at Hanbada law firm are developed and given the proper screen time to flesh out. It makes viewers see them as a unit even if there is … Continue reading →
These days 3% ratings for cable networks may even be considered low if the drama is high profile but for a network drama it’s a total bust. That’s why I’m sad to see that SBS Fri-Sat new drama Today’s Webtoon looks like it’s donzo for ratings hope despite only the second week of airing. Episode 3 got 3.6% and episode … Continue reading →
I loved the first 8 episodes of Alchemy of Souls and thus I have been more than patient and fair as I watched the next 8 episodes slowly leech away all that was fun and exciting about the story. As of episode 16 it’s officially killed the remaining tiny torch I carry for it and it legit is so boring … Continue reading →
I’m less allergic to prison themed shows/movies as I am super avoiding of war themed ones but for Lee Jong Seok I’m going to check out Big Mouth for sure, especially now that my other weekend drama has deteriorated to spinning in circles. In the second week of airing, the MBC Fri-Sat drama rose in ratings to 7.6% and 8.6% … Continue reading →
Well it looks like the continuing saga of Arthdal Chronicles is indeed moving forward. The 2020 tvN huge budget sageuk drama starring Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won was earlier this year revealed to be planning a long discussed season two but with new leads in discussion Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung and Jang Dong Gun in … Continue reading →
It makes me sad to have to complain about Alchemy of Souls since I loved it so much when it first aired, all those early episodes elicited the best feelings of curiosity, elation, and excitement. Now it’s slowly petered out to obligation, continuing to watch because I want to see the story through and also a loyalty to how the … Continue reading →
I don’t know if the recent dip in ratings for Extraordinary Attorney Woo episodes 11-12, going down from series high above 15% to the 14% range, is correlated with the recent first complaints I’ve heard about the drama or merely the 15% was the peak for this drama’s legs. This drama’s ratings are still astronomically high for a tiny cable … Continue reading →
This is totally night and day for Namgoong Min, to borrow the Korean title of Namgoong Min’s sci-fi tinged thriller drama Awaken which had the title Day and Night. He looked so serious and dare I say it a bit morose looking in his early filming stills for his last dram The Veil (Black Sun), and who can blame him … Continue reading →
