While recent year K-dramas have branched out into fantasy, sci-fi, darker fare, and really a world’s away from the early 2000 dramas that launched Hallyu, upcoming tvN drama Crash Landing on You brings viewers back 20 years into the fairy tale world of the rich and improbable. Son Ye Jin plays a South Korean chaebol heiress who is determined to … Continue reading →

Male lead Choi Tae Joon filmed this drama right before he enlisted in the military and he’s scheduled to be out next year, and … Continue reading →
What I hate the most about the vote rigging scandal is how many devoted young fans feel lied to and angry about this coming to light. I almost wish it didn’t, or that the results of Season 3 and Season 4 weren’t that egregious that even diehard fans revolted and insisted on an investigation. The arrested PD for Produce 101 … Continue reading →
This is certainly the Taiwanese celeb wedding of the year, especially with many recent star electing to just register their marriage and skip having a ceremony.

You know what, I’m actually keen on this casting and the interesting sounding story. Upcoming SBS drama titled Alice has finalized the two leads, namely Kim Hee Sun and Joo Won. I feel like they are just adults and the 10 year age difference doesn’t even bear mentioning in this particular pairing. It’s not a romance driven drama helps, Alice … Continue reading →
Okay, this is totally like the South Korea version of the Epstein case, and the public just feels helpless to do anything against such blatant sweeping under the rug.

I’m a big sports fan in the Big Three for me: American football, basketball, and baseball, but even I had to look up what stove league was referring to. The title Stove League for the upcoming K-drama about baseball references the name hot stove league which denotes the off-season of baseball with images of the fans and players gathering around … Continue reading →
I haven’t been following along the sexual assault trial against singers Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon, along with a Mr. Kwon who is the older brother of Yuri of SNSD, an employee of club Burning Sun Mr. Kim, and a Mr. Heo who is worked at an entertainment agency. These men and their cohorts watching illegally and secretly … Continue reading →

I’m not sure SBS Fri-Sat drama Vagabond was done in by the several preemptions so far during it’s entire run due to baseball games. But it certainly didn’t help and now SBS is scrapping this entire weekend of new episodes so the final two episodes will air next Fri-Sat starting November 22nd. It’s a pretty ignominious end for a drama … Continue reading →
The drama title is Woman of 9.9 Billion but it’s accurately Woman of 9.9 Billion Won, and that makes it roughly 9 million USD and boy is there a difference in three zeros missing. It’s still a crap load of money and what female lead Jo Yeo Jung does with her unexpected largess seems to be hiding it and causing … Continue reading →
All perfect things inevitably show their mortality, who is ever fully perfect yes, and in week 7 the episodes of The Tale of Nokdu kinda thump softly on the ground of reality.
