I’m so annoyed to be sooooo busy right now with work that I’m still behind on newly aired dramas, including the one I’m most excited about this December the double dose of OTP jTBC drama Run On. The network aired one of my favorite dramas of this year in 18 Again (so many tears and feels!) and Run On just … Continue reading →
The understandable love for Han Ji Pyeong is so strong it’s no surprise male lead Kim Sun Ho has punched his own ticket to headlining a prime time drama. He’s being courted as the male lead for the tvN fantasy romance Link, currently landing around August 2021 premiere based on tvN’s preliminary scheduling for next year. The drama is about … Continue reading →
I can say that I absolutely remember the moment K- idol Suzy popped up out of nowhere as an actress because it was like “wuh?” Even other idols had a few years under their belts before branching into acting in lead roles but here she was as the lead of Dream High and her two male leads Kim Soo Hyun … Continue reading →
I’ve watched K-dramas for so many years I’m almost inured to how insanely good looking the actors are and many who have equal talent to boot as well. Recently two dramas had me doing double takes and marveling at how those actors really filled up the screen with their height in ways that captivated my attention more than before. I’ve … Continue reading →
I didn’t know the casting wasn’t “confirmed” confirmed until this week since the whole cast has been filming already. But here goes, alongside leads Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn Hyo Seob in sageuk romance Hong Chun Gi, the drama will have Gong Myung as the other line in the love triangle with Kwak Si Yang playing the antagonist to the … Continue reading →
Kyaaaaaa, I’m so excited, the drama still drop was so unexpected and looks sooooo pretty! The first official stills are out for early 2021 sageuk drama Moon Rising Over the River, re-telling the folk tale of Ondal the fool and Goryeo Princess Pyeonggang also known as the weeping princess. I love that this version turns her into a warrior princess and … Continue reading →
Oh wow, I’m neither surprised but still befuddled by so much ado about nothing. tvN was ready to celebrate the successful premiere of weekend fantasy sageuk Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen), debuting with the second highest weekend ratings for the network and improving in the next episode. Either viewers didn’t get the memo that it was “fantasy”, hello time-travel and body-swapping!, … Continue reading →
Talk about under the radar stealth work and kudos to the cast and crew for a successful completion of filming during a trying year. Upcoming jTBC sci-fi action drama Sisyphus: The Myth has wrapped production and all that remains is post-production video work with the drama scheduled to premiere in February 2021 in the Wed-Thurs time slot after Run On. … Continue reading →
There are countless K-actors who shot to fame romancing older noonas on dramas and I’m going to say Ro Woon is primed to join their club. The new previews for jTBC drama Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (English title She Will Never Know) is just a billion percent Ro Woon being swoony. Sure I already have a soft … Continue reading →
Starting from Friday, all I heard were wails of “Sniffles, tomorrow/today/forever there is no more Start-Up!” I didn’t realize that the non-K-drama experienced denizens of Casa Koala would be ill-equipped to handle the end of their favorite drama, so this weekend I had to soothe sadness with platitudes of “It’s okay, everyone got their happy ending!” It didn’t help that … Continue reading →
tvN weekend saguek Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) debuted to the second highest premiere ratings for the network ever on the time slot and the second episode has increased slightly to 8.800% ratings. I had a chance to watch episode 1 and it was as enjoyable as I hoped it would be, I’ve been harping about how fun it is that … Continue reading →
I feel like the promo circuit for upcoming K-movie Josee, a remake of the Japanese movie of the same name, is to make up somewhat for the lack of OTP promos in tvN drama Start-Up. I see movie leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Han Ji Min everywhere and I love it! I just wish the same happened for Nam Joo … Continue reading →
