I thought maybe Ask the Stars would air in 2023 but it’s looking like 2024, and hopefully not as long as 2025. The drama production confirmed this week that it wrapped filming on April 12th and I was floored because I swear this drama has been filming since forever and I thought it wrapped already. So it took a good … Continue reading →
A fresh new sageuk and pairing popped up today to help over the midweek hump.

Oh this is a great cameo and I wish both young leads from the first season would do the cameo together.

There is absolutely nothing wrong or problematic about modern sports romance C-drama Nothing But You but then there was also nothing gripping and exciting about it.

So it appears K-ent is not ready for Kim Sun Ho to come back in a romance sageuk after the change in casting earlier this year, but his already filmed gritty K-movie will be a good test of whether Chungmuro is the right next step.

Of all the K-dramas to adapt, I feel like C-ent is getting on the wrong side of doing trendy versus substantive. This week has confirmed the C-drama remake of sageuk youth drama Hwarang which was a disappointment in both production and ratings but does have the record of most good looking flower boy stars in one drama. C-netizens are not … Continue reading →
SBS has hit the bid and announced a third season of Taxi Driver (Model Taxi) on the heel of the ending of season 2 this Saturday.

For the European couture brands that have selected South Korea stars as brand spokespersons, most of the times it feels like the brands doesn’t really need the star to give it extra boost but for Fendi picking Song Hye Kyo I totally think its the other way around. She’s been a top actress for nearly twenty five years and still … Continue reading →
It’s a fantastic ending for SBS Fri-Sat drama Taxi Driver 2 (Model Taxi 2) which took a solid and decently rated first season and upped the success quotient for the second go-around. The final episode brought in 21% ratings which puts it on the highest rating for any prime time drama in 2023, a nice continuation of the recent successes … Continue reading →
So this is either great publicity drumming or a way to counterprogram. There were a lot of C-dramas finished in 2021 and 2022 that fans have been dying to watch and the released earlier this month of Till the End of the Moon was the oasis water for period fans parched desert thirst. But now comes rumors that Story of … Continue reading →
