The contract dating/engagement/cohabition/marriage has been a major K-drama rom-com trope for a good two decades but this upcoming drama puts it directly as the center of a job. Park Min Young for Love in Contract (Korean title MonWedFriTuesThursSat) plays a contract marriage professional who gets paid by men to pretend date them so they can live their ideal lives. Her … Continue reading →
Sorry chingus but I’ve been in a galaxy far far away from Joseon Korea era haha so this new Mon-Tues drama Poong the Joseon Psychiatrist is one I have not watched yet and haven’t been paying attention to. I do love Kim Min Jae, he keeps improving with each drama and has such an endearing charismatic air onscreen. His last … Continue reading →
This is a reunion I’ve wanted on the small screen but not a true reunion since the two leads didn’t play leads opposite each other in their previous drama together. I’m talking about Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young going from bickering and got each other’s back pals in Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) to now playing opposite personality lawyers … Continue reading →
Can’t believe the summer is quickly coming to a close so it’s time to look at the early fall K-dramas on the horizon. tvN Fri-Sat is currently airing I Have Not Done My Best Yet which aired earlier on streaming already so it’s basically a place holder for the time slot. Once its done the mystery drama Blind will arrive … Continue reading →
This is a fight as old as time, but I do appreciate the levity of throwing in more than just lead and second lead choices. Netflix asked its viewers of four of its streamed K-dramas if you would choose between A or B if you are the lead character. In Extraordinary Attorney Woo it’s between cutie patootie Jun Ho and … Continue reading →
This Friday’s ratings for MBC drama Big Mouth was 9.8%, which puts this drama on the same trajectory as SBS Fri-Sat drama earlier this year Again My Life. An okay start but good word of mouth plus a fantastic male lead pulling in the viewers along the way. This Friday’s episode 5 got 9.8% ratings and the reviews continue to … Continue reading →
This is a frequent occurrence in the world of entertainment but its still so frustrating and demoralizing. I’ve heard of scripts getting re-written, dialogues getting changed, character trajectories getting changed midway through, and of course a final product getting re-edited. That’s apparently what happened to recently aired K-drama Anna, which got solid reviews and was the biggest drama hit for … Continue reading →
I feel like this is old school casting and in a good way. Han Hyo Joo has been offered the female lead in 2023 sci-fi drama Dominant Species (Dominion) which would pair her with Joo Ji Hoon who has been cast as the male lead. I mention old school because they basically debuted the exact same time in the mid-2000 … Continue reading →
The largesse of the Extraordinary Attorney Woo success isn’t just reserved for the core leads but a rookie actress in a supporting role is gaining noticeable momentum. Joo Hyun Young hit a homerun on her first at bat as this drama is her first acting role and she not going picked a winner her character is also such a great … Continue reading →
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 →
So the next season is also happening for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, coming back in 2023 for the third go-around.

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 →
