This coming weekend’s new episodes of OCN drama Missing: The Other Side will be preempted due to the earlier production halt to slow down a COVID-19 resurgence. That means follow up drama Search will add another week before its premiere on October 24th, just in time to deliver some scares before Halloween. The production released three new posters and two … Continue reading →
I continue like but not yet love tvN Mon-Tues drama Record of Youth. I’m more curious over how Park Bo Gum as Hye Joon can keep hard carrying a drama this successfully, as episode 3 increased from last week to hit 7.200% AGB nationwide viewership. Well okay, he had a bit of help from Grandpa as viewers are living their … Continue reading →
It feels like the worst type of repeat reporting, that a K-ent star has passed away unexpectedly. Supporting actress Oh In Hye has been confirmed deceased after being found unresponsive over the weekend and rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately medical assistance could not revive her and early Tuesday morning she passed. She did movies and a small role in one … Continue reading →
Cools beans, I love this casting news! K-actress Seo Hyun Jin is in talks to make a K-drama comeback in early 2021 with the show You are My Spring Day. It’s from the screenwriter of Bubblegum and the PD of The King: Eternal Monarch and Mr. Sunshine. I had problems with PD-nim in The King but ultimately chalked it up … Continue reading →
I have to commend the casting director of Flower of Evil, to convince a male lead like Kim Ji Hoon to join the cast as the big bad was a stroke of genius because you need an actor that’s able to match Lee Jun Ki‘s intensity and charisma onscreen. Basically all our worries that Hyun Soo was a serial killer … Continue reading →
I feel the Song Joong Ki influence is so strong for his upcoming drama comeback with tvN series Vincenzo. So many of his costars have worked with him before and I’m sure when the drama airs I’ll spot even more. Song Joong Ki is the titular Vincenzo with female lead Jeon Yeo Bin and second male leads Taecyeon and Kwak … Continue reading →
Man, I can’t believe I’m going to have to say I like the first drama poster better because comparison and context does make a difference. Upcoming tvN drama Start-Up continues to putter along in promos, it’s like the production is goading me into bottom of the barrel expectations just so it can jump out and yell SURPRISE! when the drama … Continue reading →
Back in the days a K-star will wear a face mask when exiting the airport to keep the media at bay from recognizing them but now everyone is wearing masks and the media is getting even better at recognizing them lol. Practice makes perfect, and honestly a specimen of male lead perfection like Hyun Bin just exudes “I’m someone famous” … Continue reading →
The Search is coming soon and I’m stoked for this new direction for male lead Jang Dong Yoon. Sageuk The Tale of Nokdu showed that he can do both cute and manly AT THE SAME TIME (so wow) and now he’s taking on the role of a search squadron commander stationed int he DMZ facing a dangerous monster-ish enemy that … Continue reading →
Dang, I thought she retired or something but nope, guess she was just taking a break before staging a high profile comeback. Queen of super makjang K-dramas Im Sung Han will be returning to dramaland in early 2021 with a new format work. It will be a seasonal TV Chosun drama split into two 12-episode seasons, think US show style. … Continue reading →
I don’t know why but I totally get the Korean version of Twilight vibes from upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. From the posters to the styling of male lead Lee Dong Wook like a modern day vampire/gumiho hybrid, the drama production projects more style over substance (for now). The second poster is out and me no likey, I don’t … Continue reading →
