Yup, it’s all in the bone structure and it’s undeniable. The MBC Wed-Thurs high school youth romance drama Extraordinary You is basically fertile ground for new talent sourcing. Aside from Lee Jae Wook, there’s also fresh faced Kim Young Dae who is decent on the acting front but got my attention more for being a younger version of movie actor … Continue reading →
I don’t know why but the cheesier tvN drama Crash Landing on You looks the more excited I’m getting. It’s like the drama is being intentionally doofy in set up and even the cast seems in on the joke. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting from the second drama teaser just released where Son Ye Jin is hanging on … Continue reading →

So I marathoned MBC youth romance with a twist Extraordinary You over the weekend and am in LOVE and planning to rewatch existing episodes again just to catch all the details better. There’s a ton of characters at the high school and performance wise none stand out as much as second male lead Lee Jae Wook. He’s just got IT, … Continue reading →
It’s like the screenwriter can read my mind and gives me everything I ask for and more with The Tale of Nokdu. I get tired of Nokdu cross-dressing and the widow’s village is wiped out, he returns to being a dude permanently, and the action moves to Hanyang and the central birth secret and palace intrigue plot. The romance also … Continue reading →
