So I found the cheesy aspect of Legend of Anle strangely watchable and entertaining at the very beginning, the first few episodes, but alas that charm is so wafer thin that this drama starts sinking under the weight of all its legitimately pointed out problems. I’m nope-ing out of this one at this point after finding myself FF-ing every episode … Continue reading →

Well this is great news for Tencent and the production/cast of period xianxia C-drama Lost You Forever that it’s a hit out of the gate in terms of buzz and views. Even better are the first impression commentary from viewers is near universally positive and THAT’S BECAUSE THIS DRAMA IS EVERYTHING I CAN HOPE FOR. Sorry for yelling but folks … Continue reading →
I’m in an extra good mood with the satisfying ending to tvN fantasy drama See You in My 19th Life so the rest of the summer now feels like a good to have, So seeing Namgoong Min bringing his utmost sageuk intensity is just the cherry on top as I await the premiere of MBC drama My Dearest (Lovers) this … Continue reading →

It’s rare that a drama ending is so satisfying it redeems all the flaws earlier but that’s how See You in My 19th Life made me feel. Notice I didn’t say great or perfect because it’s not, but the story stayed tight and consistent to telling the many lives of Ji Eum and what it means to remember and also … Continue reading →
K-actress Lim Ji Yeon‘s joyful gratitude has been one of the sweetest aspects of the 2023 K-awards season so far.

So there is a Chinese saying that to untie a bell one needs the person who tied the bell (è§£éˆ´é‚„é ˆç¹«éˆ´äºº) which means that to resolve a problem one needs the person who caused it in the first person to do so.

I’m still a bit bloated from watching too many C-dramas recently, even with the ones I dropped it’s still A LOT of dramas to be binging thanks to the glut of releases in the past month. Since mid-June 2023 it’s been nonstop releases from all the major streaming platforms and Tencent has the recent successful The Longest Promise and will … Continue reading →
The promos for this upcoming jTBC drama absolutely sell very specific product and for some reason it’s just not for me. The next Sat-Sun drama from the cable network will be Behind Your Touch starring Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho and it seems like a cross between Hometown Cha Cha Cha and a Stephen Chow movie. Han … Continue reading →
Wow, I can see this very drama premise triggering since it deals with a very distressing act that sets things in motion. Hopefully there is a trigger warning and then the rest of the drama tries its darnedest to make it not happen. tvN has scheduled a new drama with the literal title Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback … Continue reading →
I really appreciate the South Korean awards being willing to share the voting thought process and tabulations after the ceremony, it lends more legitimacy to the winners even if there is always bound to be behind-the-scenes elbowing at play. The Blue Dragon Series Awards held its 2nd annual ceremony this week and it fetes the online funded streaming dramas some … Continue reading →
