I keep getting Lawless Lawyer vibes from the promos for Vincenzo, and both being from tvN and featured out-of-the-box lawyers perhaps that’s the reason. The promo visuals aren’t copying anything but the intense savvy male lead played by Song Joong Ki and the cool capable female lead by Jeon Yeo Bin just reminds me of that awesome OTP dynamic from … Continue reading →
I’m banking jTBC Wed-Thurs drama Run On for later to binge, I watched the first two episodes and liked it enough but it wasn’t immediate crack addiction for me plus it seems like the perfect drama to mosey through on a quiet weekend.

It’s been a quiet few years since a really crack sageuk has dropped, probably not since Moonlight Drawn by Clouds and even then it doesn’t have … Continue reading →
K-ent and likely K-netizens is turning the Hyun Bin–Son Ye Jin relationship into a fervent wish for these two perfectly paired pretties to get married. It’s like in Answer Me 1988 during the secret santa game and if two people got each other then the chants of “gyeolhon ae!” start.
