The older I get the more nostalgic I am, a sentiment that applies to dramas as well. Older dramas I loved appear even more wonderful through the rear view mirror, and I have a super soft spot for reunions and whatnots, even if it’s something that I didn’t watch the first time around. The cast of the 2010 hit SETTV … Continue reading →
The prospects are starting to look up again for upcoming SBS drama Chaebol’s Daughter (True Romance). After offering the leads to Moon Geun Young and Park Seo Joon but not landing either of them, the production is starting from scratch again to find the titular chaebol’s daughter and her poor plucky true love. I’d say the disappointment of not getting … Continue reading →
Watching episode 15 of Someone Like You totally makes me hum the chorus from Walk the Moon’s current hit song “Shut Up and Dance”, except I keep chanting shut up and kiss instead LOL. A big shout out thank you to SETTV and drama leads Kingone Wang and Kristen Jen for writing this particular OTP scene and then executing it … Continue reading →
I feel like domestic audiences are looking forward to upcoming KBS Fri-Sat night new drama Producer more than overseas fans. Or maybe it just seems that way because the K-media is so curious about a variety of factors surrounding Producer – a short 12-episode drama, being produced by the variety show department of KBS, comeback of Kim Soo Hyun, huge … Continue reading →
It’s been three weeks since Hyde, Jekyll, Me ended, a blissful three weeks where I didn’t have to watch or recap that abomination passing for a drama. Leading man Hyun Bin stepped out last week for a water filter promotional event where he was the brand endorser. I’m shocked we didn’t get to see Seo Jin drinking filtered water in … Continue reading →

Sunday night SETTV drama Someone Like You continues to thrum along nicely, an uncomplicated and sweet little drama featuring two of the most likable leads in a long while. This drama romance also took a long time to get going, with leads Zhan Cheng and Yu Xi finally getting together for the last two episodes. It’s been sweet but I want … Continue reading →
There’s a viral photo shop series going around this past week featuring a handful of the currently most popular Chinese actresses spliced into the iconic Cinderella live-action movie poster featuring Lily James. It’s totally worth checking out even if the photo shop skills aren’t the best and some of the pictures used of certain actresses are less than ideal choices. It gives a … Continue reading →
Excitement continues to mount for the upcoming two-fer Attack on Titan live-action movies. Consider me a convert with the just released second movie trailer, this was one story with such dense mythology and special effects needed I actually thought it was impossible for Japan to pull off a live-action adaptation. Not only has Japan managed to pull it off, it … Continue reading →
I think it’s clear that I really like newbie actor Ji Soo, writing about him immediately after watching the first episode of Angry Mom and being unexpectedly surprised with this fresh face talent. K-netizens feel the same way, as Ji Soo’s star has been rising exponentially fast with AM’s airing, even landing a bevy of news interviews with accompanying photo … Continue reading →
Looks like upcoming KBS Friday night varie-drama Producer is going the safe way in unveiling the leads, judging by the release of Cha Tae Hyun stills followed by a peek at Gong Hyo Jin, the network is going in order of age seniority which works for me. It’s a four lead drama with the two younger leads being Kim Soo … Continue reading →
MBC is being nice and friendly with upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Warm and Cozy, releasing the first stills of Yoo Yeon Seok in character as the male lead and BTS stills with leading lady Kang Sora. I may not have gotten the Yoo Yeon Seok appeal yet since I skipped Answer Me 1994, I do believe he’s a truly talented actor … Continue reading →
Holy smokes, the last ten minutes of this episode of The Girl Who Sees Smells may call for having smelling salts on hand. I was genuinely quaking with dread and awe at how masterfully the story turned the corner and reveals the big bad with such sinister perfection. We learn who the bar code killer is this early in the … Continue reading →
