Man, this drama could be the sanitized version of A Frozen Flower except totally het instead of BL, and that would be fine with me but probably couldn’t air on network television as yet. The way The King’s Affection is set up, the titular king is really girl Park Eun Bin (his twin sister) pulling the world’s most dangerous cross-dressing … Continue reading →
Okay, I’m totally going to openly two-time my lovely Lovers of the Red Sky with the equally pretty The King’s Affection. And when the two shall meet on October 11th when King premieres on KBS in the same Mon-Tues slot at Red Sky, it will be one drama’s end to another’s beginning so that will be interesting to see. For … Continue reading →
I feel like I’m cheating on my current love Lovers of the Red Sky by being SO EXCITED for upcoming KBS drama Affection (Yeonmo), but I have enough love in my heart for both mwahahaha. The first official stills are out showing Park Eun Bin as the princess pretending to be her dead twin brother the Crown Prince and Ro … Continue reading →
This drama is cross-dressing on a life-or-death scale, and I couldn’t be happier. In K-drama cross-dressing stories it’s always the fear of being found out but here the female lead posing as her dead twin brother is cross-dressing as the Crown Prince of Joseon.

Welp, it’s definitely the 4th (5th? 6th) wave of COVID-19 in South Korea and this one is hitting hard as evidenced by the entertainment industry.

Following the halt of filming on the Netflix drama The Sound … Continue reading →

Or perhaps I’m simply unable and unwilling to look at that butcher’s cleaver that is time and accept that reality when I heard of this casting. K-actor Bae Soo Bin is returning to his sageuk roots joining the cast of Affection (Yeonmo) adapted … Continue reading →
This is a very youth visual heavy drama but since it’s adapted from a manhwa I can totally see the push to cast per the shoujo style drawings. The upcoming romance sageuk Affection (Yeonmo) has reportedly started filming with a fall 2021 airing date, and the production company is slowly revealing new cast members. In addition to leads Ro Woon … Continue reading →
KBS young romance sageuk River Where the Moon Rises hasn’t been the awesome drama I had hoped it would be but now I have not one more but two more potential sageuk romance dramas to look forward to in the latter half of 2021. There is Hong Chun Gi with Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn Hyo Seob of course, but … Continue reading →
The news is slim on this one so let’s just take it for face value. K-news is reporting that rookie actor Nam Yoon Soo, who coincidentally I just watched onscreen for the first time last weekend with a memorable role as the junior police officer in Beyond Evil (Monster), is putting on his sageuk big boy pants in an upcoming … Continue reading →
