On the scale of yay to oh hells no this is definitely on the terrible idea end of that spectrum. A top C-ent producer has purchased the official remake rights to MBC hit drama My Name is Kim Sam Soon, which actually got 50% ratings on its final episode which tells you that this one was among the biggest hits … Continue reading →
Well this is like Ojakkyo Brothers but with one less brother, that hit drama had four marriage age brothers and this one just has three. KBS is winding down the airing of hit weekend long drama Young Lady and Gentlemen and the next on deck is It’s Beautiful Now. It follows a family with three sons played by Yoon Shi … Continue reading →
I think Lee Jun Ki really stretched himself in his last drama Flower of Evil, as the maybe serial killer and also maybe loving husband, and perhaps both. It was subtle, nuanced, and exceedingly nerve tingling. This isn’t necessarily a step back for his next drama Again My Life but seeing the posters and stills is reminds me of his … Continue reading →
I feel like Jung Ho Yeon could be over saturated by now but I don’t think that’s the case. Her overseas explosion of popularity appears greater than the domestic increased awareness so she definitely has much more room to conquer. Plus a natural acting aura helps when she’ll need to pick new acting projects to prove that her debut stardom … Continue reading →
Ooooh, I really dig this whole look on K-actor Lee Min Ho. Top to bottom it’s my jam even though individually it’s all no bueno if you asked me to style a guy. He’s still rocking the long slightly curly messy hair with a middle part which is both a different hairstyle than the one he’s been wearing for years … Continue reading →
This couple appearance in a public event would have made more waves but for all of TW-ent waiting for the fireworks to start 10 days from now when Korean singer DJ Koo leaves quarantine to go pick up his new wife Barbie Hsu and maybe encounter Barbie’s enraged mom with a raised pan waiting outside her apartment. Yes, TW-ent does … Continue reading →
Wow, this drama actually looks good! Or maybe just the teaser looks good, but it looks enough that I’m suddenly sitting up and fully taking note of upcoming tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star. It’s set in the entertainment industry but takes the caper approach rather than the more drab and minutiae take of Record of Youth. There is hijinks galore … Continue reading →
Is Suzy just playing herself here, heh! If so then there is plenty to look forward to for sure. Suzy is in talks for the Netflix drama The Girl Downstairs, which is adapted from a popular Naver webtoon titled Lee Du Na. The titular Lee Du Na is the center spot of an idol group who suddenly retires and started … Continue reading →
Now that the underwhelming Now, We are Breaking Up has been broken up with for us viewers that stuck with it to the end, it’s time to look forward for Song Hye Kyo‘s next drama The Glory. I think it was smart of her to announce the two dramas in close succession so while I was increasingly despondent over how … Continue reading →
The long gap with K-actor Park Seo Joon in his drama comeback feels like it’s time well spent for him during the interim of his hit 2020 drama Itaewon Class and his 2023 upcoming drama Gyeongseong Creature (K Project). He filming movies during this time and he’s established and successful enough to not rush himself to get back on the … Continue reading →
This week Wed-Thurs will have no new K-dramas or shows airing due to the high profile real life event that is the South Korean presidential election. Thirty Nine is the biggest name drama to get a preemption but between the war in Ukraine, economic woes domestically, spiking COVID-19 cases, and two new dudes up for president I can’t see the … Continue reading →
The Jung Ho Yeon popularity train does not appear to be slowly down in the slightest, nearly six months after Squid Game propelled her from model to worldwide star. Last week she won a SAG Best Actress TV award which will only put the spotlight on her next acting project even stronger. For now she continues to expand her modeling … Continue reading →
SBS Mon-Tues drama A Business Proposal remains my candy corn of choice, so much sugar but oh so fun to ingest. Episode 4 continued the ratings rise albeit a smaller amount up to 8.7% which makes me excited and hopeful this rom-com will be one of the rare to break 10%. But then I realized that it’s only a 12-episode … Continue reading →
