Man in a suit making a heart shape.

There might not be a real curse on the tvN Answer Me drama franchise, but it’s legit real that the followup disappointment level is high with this one. The K-media covering the press conference of Park Bo Gum‘s upcoming sageuk drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds asked if he could possibly be the first AM alum to break the curse that … Continue reading →

With the three leads of the most recent installment of the Answer Me drama series from tvN all going on to be leads of soon-to-air prime time dramas, it’s still incredible how this series has created stars from relative unknowns or elevated talent to new levels of fame. From Answer Me 1998, Park Bo Gum is doing Moonlight Drawn From … Continue reading →

I’m not sure the buzz is as strong anymore around recently finished tvN drama Answer Me 1988, what with the murmurings of dissatisfaction with the ending from some segments of the viewing audience. During its run the drama was a ratings juggernaut and launched the careers of newbie Ryu Jun Yeol as well as elevating the popularity and of young … Continue reading →

Answer Me 1988 Releases Second Throwback Poster and Sets November 6th Premiere Date

I’m wondering how much I’m willing to put up with upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988 solely for male lead Park Bo Gum? It’s certainly going to be a lot of leeway, but I worry that he’s not even going to be the male lead, and that’s going to be Go Kyung Pyo. And while I do like Go Kyung … Continue reading →

First Poster and Stills of Answer Me 1988 Perfectly Capture the Sartorial Style and Nostalgia of that Decade

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 23, 2015 by ockoalaSeptember 23, 2015
Cast of the drama series 1988.

Good or bad, at least the production of upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988 visually nail the late 1980’s sartorial style (or lack thereof). Those looking for a drama that delivers eye candy best be forewarned to the proliferation of bobs, high waisted pants, and members only type track jackets. I adore charming throwback stories, but sadly have to keep my expectations … Continue reading →

Group of people engaged in a meeting.

There is no amount of praying or hand-wringing that can change this particular casting, so I’m going to take my own advice with a wait and see approach. Filming has started for upcoming tvN drama Answer Me 1988, the third entry in the popular trendy Answer Me series following the original 1997 version and the subsequent 1994 take. One can argue … Continue reading →

The casting has been finalized for Answer Me 1988, the third installment of the popular tvN Answer Me series, and it basically boils down to one rotten apple potentially stinking up what would otherwise be a perfectly fine dish. The production just released the confirmed cast and it includes the following: Hyeri of Girl’s Day as the female lead, Park Bo … Continue reading →

Did no one at tvN get the memo from the audience feedback on Hyde, Jekyll, Me? Tucked into the critical panning of the entire drama was a very big line item on supporting actress Hyeri of Girl’s Day being singularly terrible even within the bigger bad that was Hyde. Watching her trying to emote from a dull soulless expression was … Continue reading →
