Okay, is this like a K-drama inspired Meet Joe Black, which is itself inspired by Death Takes a Holiday? Because that works but please stay away from anything resembling Doom at Your Service (One Day, Destruction Came to My Door). A K-drama is in the works called Season of Kkok Du, telling the tale of a Grim Reaper who must … Continue reading →
This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →
This is such a smart move and one that I really believed he should take if he wanted to slowly return to acting. K-actor Kim Sun Ho has been cast in the upcoming July 2022 Seoul theater stage production of 2003 documentary movie Touching the Void. It’s based on a true story of two friends Simon Yates and Joe Simpson … Continue reading →
This drama is clearly not going to get a lot of buzz or even views since it’s airing exclusively on Disney+ so it’s really for viewers like me who love all the leads and also love a good adult aged rom-com. Kiss Sixth Sense will drop on May 25th starring Yoon Kye Sang, Seo Ji Hye, and Kim Ji Suk … Continue reading →
I feel like some actors or actresses are in one project after another while others infrequently produce new fare. K-actress Moon Ga Young is one of those back-to-back-to-back and beyond actresses and with her upcoming Link she’s now signed on for another drama the romance Understanding of Love. And before that she had True Beauty and that followed Find Me … Continue reading →
The more Lee Joon Hyuk the merrier, and he continues to be one of K-ent’s most versatile and willing to try different level role male leads.

K-actress Kim Da Mi debuted in 2017 with small roles in two movies before landing her break as the relative unknown female lead in horror supernatural thriller The Witch: Part 1: The Subversion. So it make sense that the upcoming sequel The Witch: Part 2: The Other One will also feature a total unknown as the female lead, her name … Continue reading →
So the promo circuit is starting off a bit late for upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama Why Her (Why Oh Soo Jae) but better later than never because it looks really intriguing. Starring Seo Hyun Jin, Hwang In Yeop, and Bae In Hyuk, the initial synopsis made it seem like yet another awkward female teacher-male student taboo type romance but the … Continue reading →
Famed K-drama screenwriter Kim Eun Sook may be the most consistently successful ratings hit and buzz queen, but a few other screenwriters have notched their own success. K-netizens this week are discussing screenwriter Park Hae Young thanks to her current critically acclaimed by jTBC drama My Liberation Notes (Liberation Diary). She’s not a prolific screenwriter and has done only 5 … Continue reading →
A big congrats for K-actress Kim Da Mi in her continued journey as an actress, this time notching a new high profile gig as the South Korean brand ambassador for Italian couture house Fendi.

There are plenty of K-dramas in the pipeline but not every project is high profile or big buzz. The upcoming K-drama adaptation of TW-drama Someday of One Day is both, it’s called Into Your Time and stars Jeon Yeo Bin, Ahn Hyo Seob, and Kang Hoon. Each is coming off a big breakthrough hit in their respective careers as the … Continue reading →
Revenge is a dish best served cold but try as I might this entire plot just sounds absurdly implausible and therefore comes across as silly. Upcoming K-drama Eve sells itself with overwrought visuals and intense emotions on everyone’s faces but the core revenge that sets the train in motion is predicated on the thin possibility that a cold, calculating billionaire … Continue reading →
The list of sageuks that put the word Joseon next to an occupation or action is long indeed and unfortunately the last one was the dumpster fire that got cancelled in two episodes with Joseon Exorcist, but there’s Joseon Gunman and Joseon Survival and you get the drift. Now comes Joseon Lawyer, a webtoon that will be adapted into a … Continue reading →
