Being addicted to Crash Landing on You hurts so good. Perhaps I should be thankful next week’s airing will be preempted due to lunar new year festivities and programming, otherwise how can I concentrate and cook all the meals I need to whip up in real life. This Sunday’s episode 10 took what seemed like a permanent separation of OTP … Continue reading →
I’ve skipped Seo Kang Joon‘s last two dramas but am totally pumped up to see him in upcoming tvN melancholy romance I’ll Come Find You When the Weather is Good. I tend to like him more when I like his leading lady and in this case I adore Park Min Young who has been rocking a streak of cute rom-coms … Continue reading →
All of South Korea must be and should rejoice at the latest earned honor bestowed on award winning 2019 movie Parasite. The cast just won the Best Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture award at the 2020 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, which is equivalent to Best Picture because SAG is about the actors so that award is the … Continue reading →
tvN weekend drama Crash Landing on You keeps soaring higher and one upping itself. This Sunday’s episode 10 jumped 3% in ratings to hit 14.633% with still 6 more episodes to go. This could reach Goblin, Mr. Sunshine, and Answer Me 1988 territory for the network which would be exciting to see. I’ll save the actual plot developments for later … Continue reading →
Weekend dramas have been quiet on the big three network front as cable networks have been really on fire in that time slot. But when the prime time dramas faltered in recent years the big three always had their weekend stalwarts and I’m just waiting for something to stir my interest and bring me back to the world of big … Continue reading →
Start counting down to 1-22-20 because that’s the starting line for The Game: Towards Zero. The MBC drama takes over the Wed-Thurs time slot from quirky romance drama People With Flaws and marks the return to acting for Taecyeon after serving his military enlistment. He plays a prophet who can see the moment a person dies when he looks into … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is anything remotely worth spoiling about tvN drama Crash Landing on You because every single plot point has been cribbed from something before yet stitched together in such an addicting way. This Saturday’s episode 9 continued the high ratings of last week taking in 11.516% as the OTP was reunited from a brief separation only to … Continue reading →
Who is that unabashedly fashion loud grandma that all the K-paps are snapping pictures of at Incheon airport this week? It’s none other than rapper Song Min Ho of idol group WINNER, deciding that he was going to kick off the new year with new fashion leanings. His outfit is so out there it doesn’t even register on the good … Continue reading →
It’s hard to say stars age better with time since being young and fresh faced pretty is the primary selling point of actors and actresses. But for the cast of popular period C-drama Romance in the Rain filmed in 2000 and airing in 2001, twenty years later leads Vicky Zhao, Leo Ku, Ruby Lin, and Alec Su can definitively take … Continue reading →
SBS is off to a good start with Hot Stove League doing well in Fri-Sat ratings so the stage is set for it’s successor drama Hyena when it takes over in late February.

One reason why I’m enjoying Crash Landing on You so much is the rich and layered characterizations of the supporting and even ancillary characters. Even the small roles are memorable and even better perfectly cast, case in point North Korean military officer Hyun Bin’s four subordinate soldiers in his border squad Company Five. There’s Yang Kyung Won as the ornery but … Continue reading →
Get ready for the second wave to come of likely more depressing reveals about another K-star. K-ent is reporting that a Top Star A is also among the stars hacked by the recent blackmailer of Joo Jin Mo, whose texts with Jang Dong Gun from 2013 were released after he refused to pay up. Good for him, bad for his … Continue reading →
