The travel industry has been massively impacted by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus Covid19 since the beginning of January and honestly if I didn’t have any pressing need I wouldn’t travel either, why take the risk. I figure K-ent travels to and from South Korea will drop as well and it probably has so maybe the paparazzi stationed at … Continue reading →
There’s been so much blowback on the source material webtoon that will be adapted into the K-drama Convenience Store Morning Star (Convenience Store Saet Byul) that I curiously glanced and it and erm it’s totally not my tea. Hopefully the adaptation will take merely the set up and remove all the sleazy stuff otherwise it’ll come across as perverted ahjusshi … Continue reading →
First off, if your fave isn’t mentioned here don’t get your goat up. This is just a list of some stars being mentioned right now as making a financial contribution to the fight to contain the novel coronavirus Covid19 spread. South Korea went from one of the Asian countries with known cases to suddenly an explosion of coronavirus cases centered … Continue reading →
Looks like tvN procedural drama Memorist will be much action packed that I thought. The new poster and teasers confirm that male lead Yoo Seung Ho is the act first type, using his powers of reading the memory of anyone he touches to beat up confirmed bad dudes first before even following police protocol. Not sure how he’ll keep that … Continue reading →
The US movie 17 Again was surprisingly good and I can totally see K-dramas doing so much more with the longer running time that I’m excited for this upcoming remake. 18 Again has confirmed leads Kim Ha Neul and Yoon Sang Hyun as married couple in their late 30s when a pending divorce leads the hubby to a chance return … Continue reading →
There are so many late winter/early spring K-dramas that are banking on the pairing of young visuals actors and actresses to create chemistry and sell a story. Upcoming tvN romance A Piece of Your Mind (Half of a Half) feels like the story won’t be nearly as important as how leads Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin bring their … Continue reading →
I totally forgot there was a drama coming up where idol-actor L (Kim Myung Soo) was playing a cat who transforms into a human. He’s the human version, of course, though I totally want to see the cute white cat used in the drama as well. He’s starring opposite Shin Ye Eun in the KBS drama Welcome based on a … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of the titular Romantic Teacher and he’s definitely earned his dues. The SBS medical drama Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2 ended it’s run this Tuesday with a final episode high ratings of 27.1%. The average ratings for the entire run was 18.4% which is high nowadays for prime time dramas and … Continue reading →
I’m surprised K-drama didn’t adapt this yet into a television format but J-ent is taking a first crack at moving popular Korean young cops movie Midnight Runners onto the small screen. The J-dorama adaptation called Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner will arrive in April 2020 with leads Nakajima Kento of idol group Sexy Zone and King & Prince’s Hirano Sho, who … Continue reading →
The timing of this High Cut photo shoot is like four months too late but these two are adorable here so I certainly enjoyed it. K-actress Kim Hye Yoon and idol-actor Ro Woon are back together again after playing the fantasy OTP in high school drama Extraordinary You. They actually look like they walked out of that drama as high … Continue reading →
This movie looks too freaky for my tastes now which go towards warm and fuzzy rather than scary and nerve wracking. It’s only that Park Shin Hye is the female lead of thriller movie Call that gets me interested to see her doing a dark and dangerous role. She plays a modern day woman who connects on the phone with … Continue reading →
There is a whole lot of melancholy wrapped in comforting warmth in the poster and long preview for upcoming jTBC romance When the Weather is Fine. Park Min Young returns to the countryside hometown of her high school days, escaping the fast paced life of Seoul for a place with both happy and painful memories. She reunites with high school … Continue reading →
This is not a bad thing to have, ratings return all over K-drama airing so much so that a small cable network drama like jTBC success story Itaewon Class getting 12% ratings by week four seems like business as usual. Episode 5 got 12.289% and episode 6 increased slightly to 12.562%, with audience feedback still highly positive for this underdog … Continue reading →
