A new find for me in 2021 on the male actor front now includes Bae In Hyuk, I really really liked him in recently concluded rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho. He made a one-dimensional second male lead character with a crush on the female lead into someone sincere and memorable. If Jang Ki Yong‘s sweet as pie gumiho who … Continue reading →
Hhhhmmmm, this projects sounds a whole lot more interesting for me after I chanced upon the male lead recently in another drama. The Netflix produced movie adaptation of webtoon Moral Sense has wrapped filming and I’m guessing we could even see it by year end.

Okay SBS, we’re like one month out from highly anticipated sageuk romance Red Sky (Hong Chun Gi) and you’re killing me here with zero promos yet other than the very early teaser at the beginning of the year and the script reading stills. Grah, it’s like you want me to slowly bang my head against the wall in frustration because … Continue reading →
The Korean ginseng in a pack, kinda like a healthy medicinal version of Gogurt, has been ubiquitous in K-dramas in the last few years. It’s either there when a star is endorsing the product or when the brand buys ad space, either way it’s portrayed as a quick and easy nutritional and energy boost. It’s more believable to be consumed … Continue reading →

He plays a detective and she’s a hotel employee who goes back home to her family mansion when she hears that her sister has gone … Continue reading →
The first teaser poster is a little too cutesy for me but I’m still wildly excited for the August arrival of tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha (Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha). The vibe feels like the glass half full peppy cousin of When the Weather is Fine which was the glass half empty melancholy kid on the block when … Continue reading →
I don’t know how Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu) will try to hardnose his way out of increasing allegations of being a sexual predator including drugging and rape. In the two days since a young woman named Du Mei Zhu publicly accused him of luring, drugging, and raping her, and claimed that he’s done so many times before with other … Continue reading →
When I saw the title for this K-drama I wanted to spork my eyes out. What the hell is Idol: The Coup? Why do the idols want to stage a coup? Wouldn’t leaving the industry be the ultimate coup? Is that what the drama is about, a bunch of successful idols saying “f*#k it!”? But before we can all figure … Continue reading →

K-dramas have always cycled through themes, if supernatural romance is popular then suddenly there are three more lined up in production, if noona-dongsaeng relationships are de rigueur then every network will have one in prep, and so forth.
