Scandal is a loaded word, for some K-netizens it connotes something as inconsequential as a star dating news, yet in recent years there have been a series of male star scandals of the serious variety involving accusations, police investigations, and even lawsuits and trails. I feel like Park Shi Hoo‘s rape allegations in early 2013 really kicked off this prolonged … Continue reading →

Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas.

K-actress Kim Sun Ah will always have one of the biggest Hallyu era K-drama classic hits under her belt with My Name is Kim Sam Soon but life doesn’t stay in one place and she’s continued to add onto her acting resume in the 12 year since.

The press conference for premiering this week Wed-Thurs MBC K-drama Hospital Ship went off without a hitch, if one was looking for a very young college professor proudly introducing her graduating class of seniors to enter the real world. I love Ha Ji Won to pieces but she’s looking so fish out of water in real life next to her … Continue reading →
I’m so super duper excited for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Temperature of Love, the first time in a long time for the network to do a straight up modern rom-com in that time slot since Lie to Me. Plus Falsify is so dark and SBS has been alternating dark tense dramas this year with Defendant and Whisper I’m so ready … Continue reading →
This Monday August 28th is Chinese Valentine’s Day, annually the 7th day of the 7th month in the lunar calendar when the weaver girl and the cow herder boy meet in the Milky Way.

The waning days of summer is also the kickoff to the biggest fashion season of the year in fall. The colors and fabrics transition from the playful and light to the experimental and substantial, and this year Italian design house Bottega Veneta is showcasing a lot of blacks and whites judging from the main color palate of the K-stars out … Continue reading →
I still get a smile when I think of Kim Hee Sun‘s last drama Angry Mom, the affection I have for her performance almost makes me want to give Faith another chance.

It’s still hot out in the dog days of summer but I’m predicting simmering romance degrees to come in September when SBS airs the first romance drama of the fall with Temperature of Love, taking over from Falsify on Mon-Tues.

After MBC‘s tonally insensitive start for the most recent Wed-Thurs drama The Man Who Dies to Live, which premiered at the top of the ratings for that time slot and kept the lead to the end, there isn’t much Hospital Ship can do to top that shaky launch.
