The do-over genre in K-dramas is so so popular last few years, so many have tackled it and coming up is yet another take on the topic of what we will do if we knew what we would become.

The former AOA member has been revealing through SNS the bullying she endured from fellow group member Jimin which led to her leaving the group and also engaging in self-harm from the trauma. Last weekend she was hospitalized after … Continue reading →
Okay, episode 5 of Flower of Evil cements it for me. I LOVE THIS DRAMA. It’s totally Nice Guy on steroids and also starring Moon Chae Won and switching one of my baes Song Joong Ki for Lee Jun Ki and grounded by an interesting story with still so much ground to cover. Episode 5 got 2.973% ratings as the … Continue reading →
September looks to start off smoldering with the vestiges of the Indian summer thanks the stylish swindling efforts of the leads of upcoming jTBC drama Private Life. The drama premieres the first week of September in the Wed-Thurs time slot following Can We Love, and changes the tone from woman searching for love for lots of robin hood type crooks … Continue reading →
The makeup brush is going to be female lead Park So Dam‘s closest costar in upcoming tvN aspirational and romance drama Record of Youth. I hope she has just as good chemistry with male lead Park Bo Gum, lol, because she’s going to be spending plenty of time using that makeup brush on his character who is a model aspiring … Continue reading →
Normally I don’t want script readings all the time but this one totally entertained me plus I am really curious about this drama. tvN released the official script reading video and interviews with the three leads of upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho, not to be confused with My Girlfriend is a Gumiho or Gu Family Book. This tale transports … Continue reading →
Sigh, this is what happens when the product value drops and people find alternative options. If I could watch K-dramas on television to help with domestic ratings I would because I love the variety available and to know that low ratings = fewer CFs sold = losing money which ultimately leads to fewer K-dramas being produced and that sucks. K-ent … Continue reading →

It’s time to say goodbye to It’s Okay to Not be Okay and I’m most loathe to bid farewell to male lead Moon Kang Tae.

Woo hoo, I feel like the drama gods are timing things perfectly for me. With Kim Soo Hyun‘s drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay done (sheer amazeballs good), I can now switch years and start charting course for early winter when Song Joong Ki returns to the small screen with Vincenzo.

Two decades of Hallyu dramas under the belt leaves me a bit jaded and always guarded for the other shoe to drop, namely a really crappy ending. Not that an ending is unhappy for the OTP, even happy endings have been crappy because it’s unsatisfying in tying up loose ends and giving the characters their proper conclusion. Everything about the … Continue reading →
