I feel like this second season or prequel to tvN drama Tale of Gumiho seems rather superfluous in that it doesn’t address what the diehard fans want in terms of continuation and/or closure. tvN has announced that it will be producing another installment of Tale of Gumiho (Tale of the Nine-tailed) but it won’t be a follow up to where … Continue reading →
After jTBC drama Nevertheless finished airing I forgot about it and it felt that the domestic audience did as well. The drama averaged about 1.4% ratings and was considered a disappointment for the network despite having buzzy IT leads Song Kang and Han So Hee. I did remember was it in the Netflix top 10 in various Asian countries at … Continue reading →
After teasing us with a comeback in 2020, it’s really 2022 where audiences can finally see K-actor Kim Woo Bin back on the screen. He has been active the last year two years but it’s just filming, doing a movie and this year he has two dramas. The first to arrive will be Our Blues, an ensemble drama written by … Continue reading →
I don’t regularly cover star birthdays and usually its when there is something else to add. Today is being called Twos-day for being a Tuesday that happens to fall on the perfect date of 2-22-2022 which is both a palindrome and also able to be read upside down as well. It also happens to be K-actor Nam Joo Hyuk‘s birthday … Continue reading →
I know K-actress Kim Hee Sun was already considered TOP of the beauties in her debut decade of the 1990’s but I was never that entranced by her among her same gen leading ladies. My like for her was really the last decade after she got married, had a child, and returned to the small screen with some really good … Continue reading →
On one hand, K-actor Yoo Seung Ho is still young at 30 years old Korean age (28 in western age), but then he’s been in the industry for two decades now and I still wonder why he can’t get better projects. It’s like all this potential unable to be properly tapped. K-ent is reporting that Yoo Seung Ho, who announced … Continue reading →
Top stars and engaged couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin announced earlier this month that they are tying the knot next month in March 2022, and their agencies confirmed it but said it would be a private wedding. Some celebs hold so-called public weddings where the news reporters can interview them beforehand and even post pictures from the ceremony. … Continue reading →
I personally did an eeny-meeny-miny-mo in deciding which of the two new weekend K-dramas to watch first, I didn’t want to watch both and compare as the two are competing with each other in ratings due to different time slot and also I wanted to just enjoy one drama and soak in the vibe for the time being. I landed … Continue reading →
Well if I was a betting person I would not put all my money on this horse, but I can see why the investors conceivably believe it could beat it to ground to see if pumping more money in can recoup some of the loses and maybe even end up a moneymaker. Production house Studio Dragon announced today that it … Continue reading →
Hopefully this closes the door with fines to be paid and time served. This week it was revealed that Jang Geun Seok‘s mother, who was investigated for tax evasion, tried and convicted last year in 2021, has lost her appeal of that conviction. It stemmed from the underreporting of income earned by Jang Geun Seok through his Japanese activities and … Continue reading →
The weekends are going to be smooth sailing for the next few weeks thanks to the successful arrival of two new romance dramas as the second week of airing appears to cement the domestic viewers interest in the stories. jTBC romance Forecasting Love and Weather was the lower of the two premiere ratings last week but has been increasing about … Continue reading →
One of the ancillary positives of Crash Landing on You for me was the validation and also outfit feast of seeing K-actress Son Ye Jin showcase her visuals. That she could pull off any outfit the drama put her in, including actual North Korea looks from hair to clothes plus accessories proved the adage that goddesses can wear potato sacks … Continue reading →
Man, K-actor Lee Ji Hoon seemed to have finally gotten his first big break. After the last few years in steady second male lead territory, with River Where the Moon Rises he really shined in his role sometimes even eclipsing the performance of either of the two male leads. He got his first male lead role thereafter in MBN drama … Continue reading →
