It’s Vagabond for later and Absolute Boyfriend next on the SBS Wed-Thurs line up. Despite the proliferation of scandalous news in the K-media right now, Big Issue isn’t doing big ratings and this next drama SBS has lined up seems more like a niche genre. The network is airing the K-drama adaptation of the Japanese manga Absolute Boyfriend (Zettai Kareshi), … Continue reading →
The scent is quite fresh with the final casting of fantasy romance drama Perfume, after some bumps with the original names floated I quite like this unexpected quartet. Filming will commence shortly for the late spring 2019 K-drama Perfume so it’s a relief the confirmed cast came together so quickly after initial leads Eric and Go Jun Hee ended up … Continue reading →
I’ve been charmed by Taecyeon ever since the big lunkhead barreled into the scene in Dream High and was as endearing a choice as the eventual male lead in that drama Kim Soo Hyun. His acting was sooooo stiff back then but he had so much earnest heart that reached through the screen, and since then he’s improved consistently as … Continue reading →
The Burning Sun nightclub scandal involving Big Bang member Seungri has now added a new criminal activity that went on there. To keep track there was drugging, sexual assault, hidden camera recordings in VIP rooms, and tax evasion. You can now add money laundering to the list courtesy of suddenly the most famous tacky rich tai tai in Asia the … Continue reading →
K-actress Song Hye Kyo is growing out her short bob hairstyle cut for the K-drama Encounter (Boyfriend) and it’s honestly one of her best looks with such fresh appeal. The long locks is very sexy and movie star but also a dime a dozen, she’s versatile and young enough to still experiment and I love this look on her like … Continue reading →
As the revelations fly fast and furious, the hammer dropped big time and not a moment too soon for singer Jung Joon Young. What started off as Big Bang Seungri‘s scandal with his club Burning Sun turned into a chatroom scandal with celebs and other dudes sharing hidden camera sex videos. At the center was Jung Joon Young who did … Continue reading →
This news totally slipped my radar but a month late isn’t that bad especially to share some happy updates from China rather than the slew of bad news coming out of K-net. Chinese actor Yuan Hong announced the birth of their first born a baby boy with actress wife Zhang Xin Yi this past February 14th. It’s a Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →
Medical K-dramas are not as ubiquitous these last two years as it was in nearly a decade prior where a viewer couldn’t help but trip over at least one medical drama airing in nearly every time slot from all the networks. Now we have two coming on prime time with KBS premiering Doctor Prisoner this month, and now SBS is … Continue reading →
Well this is an adorable dating news to brighten a dreary week in February. Young and talented jTBC hit drama Sky Castle costars Kim Bora and Jo Byung Kyu have admitted to their dating relationship on the heels of tabloid Dispatch releasing pictures of the two being adorable out on a date.

I’m a swoony sucker for a well-dressed man, and perhaps that helps sell the allure of the post-Cuba look of Park Bo Gum in tvN drama Encounter (Boyfriend). Even though his suit was buy one get one free with the added bonus of a pre-tied necktie, it’s perfectly tailored to his tall lean frame and gives him that sharp edge … Continue reading →
There’s two good reasons why I’m excited to hear that Ji Sung is coming back to the small screen. The first is that he’s reprising a doctor role in upcoming SBS medical drama Dr. Room, a good long 11 years after he played a doctor for the first time in the wonderful New Heart. The second is that New Heart’s … Continue reading →
Sorry I haven’t been covering jTBC Fri-Sat drama Sky Castle, it’s purely due to not watching (yet) though I’m fascinated by the meteoric ratings rise and viewer chatter about the drama developments. Having near high school age kids makes me unmotivated to watch a drama about rich parents wrangling over their kids academic achievements (too close to home) but the … Continue reading →
There were no new episodes of Encounter (Boyfriend) this week and only time will tell if the preemption will hurt its momentum and ratings. Episode 8 ended on a swoony kiss and confirmation that the flirtatious some relationship of leads Jin Hyuk and Soo Hyun is now flat out like, but they don’t have the luxury of just dating like … Continue reading →
