Wow, I didn’t expect to actually feel positive vibes for this drama, but the title sounds cute and the pairing is strangely working for me on paper. KBS confirmed the K-drama Daebak Real Estate on its 2021 line up, with leads Jang Nara and Jung Yong Hwa and I’m not sure if it’s a noona-dongsaeng romance or onscreen they will … Continue reading →
Well this is bad juju stuff all around. Seoul police have announced that it is investigating the report of sexual assault of a female actress (small role) who starred in SBS drama Good Casting. She is accusing a male supporting actor in the same drama, the two met from working together, of attempted sexual assault right before Christmas on December … Continue reading →
There is so much to celebrate and be proud of and it the biggest surprise of the last month has got to be OCN drama The Uncanny Counter. It airs on the smallest of the three notable cable networks and features a main cast without any big name stars. But it’s been a hit for the network since the premiere … Continue reading →
After MBC underrated gem Kairos ended, I’ve migrated to tvN thriller Awaken (Night and Day) to satiated the who-dun-it craving in me. When I’m in the mood for procedures then I’m all in, and thankfully Awaken has been there to fill the Kairos sized hole in my drama brain. It’s aired 12-episodes so far so two more weeks left to … Continue reading →
I think Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) could have been so much more script-wise, and has been buoyed by the entertaining execution on the comedic stuff, the gorgeous visuals, and the top notch acting and chemistry of leads Shin Hye Sun and Kim Jung Hyun. But the problem is that the King Cheoljeong history isn’t particularly ripe for incisive (re)examination and … Continue reading →
C-dramas have been widely criticized for plagiarism for decades, either outright or remaking other stories without paying a licensing fee. K-drama have had the same criticism though far less frequent and more debatable instances. Mere days after hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s new drama was announced, got a female lead in top actress Song Hye Kyo, and revealed the name … Continue reading →
I wish these pictures from his agency came out a few days earlier then it would be all over K-net with the news that Kim Soo Hyun was confirmed for K-drama That Night with sunbae hyung Cha Seung Won. But I can still enjoy them and these pics just highlight how boyish he still looks despite crossing over into his … Continue reading →
This Saturday was episode 9 of tvN weekend sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) and it appears the drama ratings are beginning to keep steady. This episode got 12.066% and the last two episodes were also at 12%, and the same thing happened to hit drama Goblin for a few weekends before it broke and took off again in the last … Continue reading →
I love Jang Dong Yoon but it feels like his three most recent K-dramas are venn diagrams. Tale of Nokdu he played an discarded prince in a Joseon, Search he’s a soldier hunting zombies in the DMZ, and now in upcoming Joseon Exorcist he’s a prince hunting zombies in Joseon. Despite his baby face he’s quite suitable for action pieces … Continue reading →
My brain was still on Park Seo Joon‘s army buzz cut look in early 2020 drama Itaewon Class for so long this feels like a breath of different visuals to change back his image. Park Seo Joon has two projects tee’d up for 2021, both movies, with Dream and Concrete Utopia, and of course he’s top of mind any time … Continue reading →
Looks like filming will start soon now that the full main cast has been inked. tvN romance mystery drama You are My Spring has confirmed the leads Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Dong Wook, Yoon Park, and Nam Gyu Ri. It’s a drama about people who still have immature childish thoughts who live in the same apartment complex, and then a … Continue reading →
Mmmmmmm okay……this was not what I was expecting but am pleasantly more interested in it now. A few days after news that K-actress Song Hye Kyo was reuniting with hit screenwriter Kim Eun Sook for her next drama there is not a title and bare bones synopsis to add color to the project. The drama doesn’t have a network confirmed … Continue reading →
I thought February 2021 was like crazy far away when I first heard that Park Shin Hye was signing on for a sci-fi thriller drama Sispyhus: The Myth with Jo Seung Woo. Yet now it’s like a month away, and wishing to slow down time clearly doesn’t work because I need to stop the next few years before the Koala … Continue reading →
