K-actress Park Bo Young is looking ahead in 2022 with a new K-drama and hopefully it will wash away the lackluster picks of her most recent dramas Doom at Your Service and Abyss. This one isn’t a fantasy drama, thank god, it’s called Morning Comes to Psychiatric Wards Too and is from the screenwriter of The Light in Your Eyes … Continue reading →
Another child actress is ready for her teen role mantle and this one was one of the cutest little cherubs I’ve ever laid eyes on when she debuted. Kal So Won rocketed to fame in Miracle in Cell #7 as the daughter who later grows up into Park Shin Hye‘s adult but Kal So Won had more screen time and … Continue reading →
I’m hoping for a Dali and the Cocky Prince redux here with SBS rom-com A Business Proposal (Office Blind Date), namely really crappy posters and previews but a winning and charming light romance story when it airs. The above official drama poster could not be less interesting if it tried, even a fan spliced drama could be better. It’s a … Continue reading →
Streaming platform Apple TV is a still a newbie in stepping into the K-drama realm so it’ll be interesting to see if the company promotes upcoming Koreans in Japan multigenerational drama/series Pachinko. Netflix has the process down to a science at this point having launched over a dozen self-produced K-dramas in the last two years but Apple TV is starting … Continue reading →
The fact that retired former top actress Brigette Lin is 67-years old had me floored, both in how beautiful she still looks at that age and how much time has passed. She’s been retired from acting since 1994 with Ashes of Time as her last project so that is nearly 30 years, she’s been married and living a seemingly low … Continue reading →
Man, if this K-movie was released a decade ago when K-pop fans still held strong to their stans not dating it would cause a riot because the onscreen chemistry from the stills alone of upcoming Netflix movie Love and Leashes (Moral Sense) are smoking hot between idol-actors Seohyun and Lee Jun Young. I would have loved a SNSD and U-KISS … Continue reading →
Oh hells yeah! I’m off to say a couple of Hail Marys to the drama gods after this but I have to share the news ASAP. K-ent is reporting that Lee Se Young will be the leading lady opposite Lee Seung Gi in the K-drama adaptation of romantic webtoon Love by Law. Lee Se Young was still in teen actress … Continue reading →
I feel like this drama is more suited to air in the summer, or perhaps since it’s telling a time spanning story through four years then it will also cycle through the seasons as the story ebbs and flows so it’s suitable to air anytime and still deliver the feels. Twenty Five, Twenty One is slated to drop next week … Continue reading →
Well this is an interesting tabulation of Netflix shows in terms of popularity. A new list is out through January 30, 2022 showing the cumulative hours watched of each Netflix show. I think it’s more accurate in some ways than number of people who clicked on it because some could watch and then drop it, whereas total hours means the … Continue reading →
I think most long time drama watchers know that K-actress Kim Tae Hee has been the unmoving consensus among K-ent and K-netizens for her Top Beauty. This week there is an article discussing the successor to the Top Beauty Per Decade and the feeling that there is no consensus decision. In the 1980’s the pick was Hwang Shin Hye, and … Continue reading →
A new year and it’s time to wish the third gen of Hallyu K-drama child actors off to grown up land, and for the guys it’s military service as a rite of passage. Child actor turned teen actor turned on the cusp of adult actor Nam Da Reum is off to the army this week, enlisting for mandatory service at … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to start my Ghost Doctor watch but January 2022 has been a blur so it’s still on my to-start list. But every time I see snippets posted by tvN on its various SNS accounts including Facebook and Instagram I can’t help but watch because those scenes are always interesting. It appears the domestic viewers feel the same … Continue reading →
The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art. Even to the very end, the story conclusion was as expected to the veteran drama watchers (there was no other ending possible), but for those … Continue reading →
