Sorry I haven’t been covering jTBC Fri-Sat drama Sky Castle, it’s purely due to not watching (yet) though I’m fascinated by the meteoric ratings rise and viewer chatter about the drama developments. Having near high school age kids makes me unmotivated to watch a drama about rich parents wrangling over their kids academic achievements (too close to home) but the … Continue reading →
At this point two major groups of viewers watching Memories of Alhambra are hopping mad at screenwriter Song Jae Jung. That would be female lead Park Shin Hye‘s fans and also the general K-drama fan who wanted to watch a comprehensively well-written story. On the flip side male lead Hyun Bin fans are likely content with his lot in this … Continue reading →
SBS action thriller drama Vagabond has a big budget, big name stars, and now even bigger name cameos.

Now it has the added bonus buzz … Continue reading →
There’s an under the radar drama airing on small cable network Olive called Eun Joo’s Room (Dear My Room) and having two big name stars cameo is really a boom because now even I’ve heard of it. D.O. and Nam Ji Hyun have traded their crown prince and destined wife Joseon garb from 100 Days My Prince for comfortable and stylish … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN Sat-Sun drama Romance is a Bonus Book (Romance Supplement) is really playing up its literary roots. From the first couple’s posters with leads Lee Jong Seok and Lee Na Young hiding behind books both big and normal sized, the work place romance between a publisher and writer dances between the pages of literary touches. The latest full cast … Continue reading →
Memories of Alhambra feels like a drama within a drama, or perhaps a game within a game. With two more episodes left, I’m enjoying it still but can’t get immersed in the opposite way Jin Woo is fully immersed in the AR game that’s take over his drama real life. There is so much PPL for Subway and even shopping … Continue reading →
Yeah, I don’t know how I feel about this. K-ent is reporting that Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In are in talks to reunited with PD Ahn Pan Seok who directed them in Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food (Something in the Rain) for his upcoming drama airing on MBC. It’s called Spring Night and will also be written … Continue reading →
C-actress Liu Shi Shi has confirmed her rumored pregnancy, the first for her and husband Nicky Wu after being married for three years. Their romance is the stuff of drama dreams, of course the reel to real part where they turned the drama heartache of Bu Bu Jing Xin into a real world happily ever after, which is way better … Continue reading →
My love-hate relationship with the Hong Sisters continues, with too much baggage for it to ever delve into straight up loathing but honestly I’m just along for the curiosity rather than optimism of a well-written drama ahead. The two ladies continue to rummage up interesting ideas, much like they tried with their last drama Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey) adapting The Journey … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for the jTBC Fri-Sat drama Legal High and it totally made me smile. The sparring between leads Jin Goo and Seo Eun Soo is exactly the same vibe as in the original with Sakai Masato and Aragaki Yui, makes me want to rewatch the original and make time for the K-version. With Jin Goo being … Continue reading →
There was a spurt of excitement followed by tempered expectations with news of K-actor Kim Woo Bin‘s return to acting. He’s been on a work hiatus for going on two years now since early 2017 due to cancer treatments that are reportedly successful and he’s in remission. He’s been spotted last year vacationing in Hawaii with good friend Lee Jong … Continue reading →
I feel like all that needs to be dissected about Memories of Alhambra is over and done with, the flaws and strengths remain at what it is and it’s just riding the train for the final four episodes to see how the writer resolves everything. I’ve never seen a drama where one lead has had to hard carry the entire … Continue reading →
I still remember the whiplash that was Lee Jun Ki and Park Min Young working together on variety show My Ear’s Candy from two years ago. From the fans excited with their wonderful voice chemistry from the show to the anger when it was revealed that Lee Jun Ki was dating fellow Namoo Actors colleague Jeon Hye Bin in real … Continue reading →
