This totally seems like a drama vehicle geared towards promoting K-actor Kim Min Kyu and I have no problem with that. I do worry its on the lightweight side and perhaps he needs more serious heavier works to cement his acting skills before enlisting for the military. But then again, well done comedy is absolutely a showcase for acting and … Continue reading →
Gosh, I have so many mixed emotions but the strongest one is 100% love for Yumi and Kim Go Eun’s portrayal and appreciation that this webtoon story was so beautifully adapted to live action in season 2 as it was in season 1. Changing male leads in Yumi’s Cells 2 didn’t change the satisfaction of watching Yumi evolve in both … Continue reading →
It’s been a wild summer drama season so far chingus! Prestige dramas like jTBC Insider hasn’t resonated, scandal tinged dramas like Eve didn’t garner the love or hate watch viewership it could have, wildly ambitious and looked like a hot mess pre-airing drama Alchemy of Souls is the surprise hit, and an unknown drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo from nowhere has … Continue reading →
Okay, the only other time in recent memory I have seen a drama with so little pre-premiere fan fare set ratings records was jTBC drama Sky Castle, which is credited for putting that cable network on the map as a true contender to tvN and also paving the way for rich people makjang that begat Penthouse the following year. This … Continue reading →
Oh what a lovely quartet main cast! Netflix K-drama Morning Comes to the Mental Ward kicked off filming this week in what will likely be a 2023 release. It’s adapted from novels written by a real life nurse at a psychiatric ward and is described as warm and touching. Park Bo Young will take on the role of the nurse … Continue reading →
I hope this drama gets a new name and STAT but otherwise it sounds right up my alley. K-ent is reporting that Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin will be coupling up for a MBC sageuk drama titled Lovers. Not to be confused by the late aughts modern drama of the same name, this drama tells of a Joseon era … Continue reading →
It’s been a year since hit tvN summer 2021 drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha aired, and in the fast turning cycle of hit to scandal its been the best of times for Kim Sun Ho and then the worst of times. But like all things once seen in the long run there is still quite a runway for him and … Continue reading →
This really was a filler week for Alchemy of Souls but it ended up being much needed. The first 8 episodes were such fast paced action and plot progression its a breath of fresh air to see the youngsters being young and adorable with no life and death stakes. Mu Duk passes the servant test to enter Songrim thanks to … Continue reading →
I’m the type to get things done as early as possible especially things that are not fun but still need to get it over with. If I were a dude in South Korea I would enlist as early as possible but for entertainers it’s definitely a shot in the dark either way. Enlist early and start the arduous star road … Continue reading →
The promos are really heating up for upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Today’s Webtoon, adapted from the manga Juhan Shuttai which was adapted already into the J-dorama Sleepeeer Hit! in 2016. I hear webtoons are SO POPULAR in South Korea as it’s daily or multiple times a week updates and easy to read on cell phones while commuting on trains so … Continue reading →
Last week’s two episodes of Alchemy of Souls were a whirlwind and there was also the news about Part 2 that sent viewers into a tizzy so it’s nice that this Saturday’s episode 9 was a total slow break. Half the episode was spent at the gisaeng house celebrating Wook’s entry into Songrim, which is basically the Hogwarts of this … Continue reading →
I don’t know if anyone in the cast and crew knew they were sitting on a goldmine when they signed up for Extraordinary Attorney Woo. That’s the best kind of success, unexpected and from a product made with love and care that is being appreciated. The drama wrapped filming this week, so it has plenty of time to make post-production … Continue reading →
Man, I wish I had both Im Soo Hyang‘s work ethic and her ability to keep getting cast in drama after drama when it comes to my own work streak. She doubled up this past June with SBS drama Woori the Virgin and MBC drama Doctor, Lawyer and now she’s not even done with that drama yet and will be … Continue reading →
