The streaming viewers have spoken and there is an unexpected K-drama hit that should be great fun to watch during a holiday marathon. TVing exclusive drama Work Later, Drink Now (Drinker City Women) is adapted from a webtoon and stars Lee Sun Bin, Han Sun Hwa and Jung Eun Ji as three libation loving single working lady best friends in … Continue reading →
With how hard Manhole (Wonderland’s Feels or Feels So Good) flopped recently on KBS Mon-Tues, there is a reasonable concern that similarly quirky rom-com feel upcoming tvN drama Revolutionary Love may be coming at a time without the audience for this type of drama fare. The two drama’s even have titles based on a pun of the male lead’s name, which of course … Continue reading →
Rounding the corner is the first big three network prime time rom-com in a good long while, with She Was Pretty taking over the Wed-Thurs slot on MBC from Scholar Who Walks the Night. I think MBC is currently on the same trend when it comes to drama teasers, as the two teasers for SWP remind me a lot of … Continue reading →
China might have a new drama industry to mine – copying popular K-dramas and making a ridiculous parody out of it. There was the absurd but fun Heirs From Another Star, but even before that project got off the ground there was already Billion Dollar Heirs in the making. To be fair to producer Li Shao Hong, her heirs-centric drama synopsis … Continue reading →
Get ready to laugh until your belly aches. The first official character stills from the upcoming C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors (亿万继承人) has just been released. This was the drama that made the news in the beginning of the year for being the C-remake of last year’s hit K-drama Heirs. Turns out it’s not a remake of Heirs as this particular … Continue reading →
In a strange clarification by Chinese producer Li Shao Hong who has been getting lots of media attention for supposedly producing the Chinese drama version of the Korean hit drama Heirs, the drama started filming last week and it turns out NOT to be an adaptation of K-Heirs at all. Li Shao Hong finally put an end to the speculation … Continue reading →
I actually watched the teaser for King of Dramas, the upcoming SBS drama to follow Faith, earlier this week but just haven’t gotten around to posting about it until now. Starring Kim Myung Min, Jung Ryeo Won, Choi Si Won, and Oh Ji Eun, this is the only upcoming weekday drama that I’m totally looking forward to. Too bad it’s … Continue reading →
My anticipation for King of Dramas with Kim Myung Min and Jung Ryeo Won is one of calm hopefulness. While neither the cast nor the story sends me into a tizzy, conversely nothing turns me off this drama in the slightest. Since I’m also not watching Faith, looking forward to KoD means that Faith will soon be done and … Continue reading →
I’m seeing conflicting reports on which SBS drama will follow Faith on Mon-Tues. Some sites list The Great Seer, others list King of Dramas, and some sites list both as SBS Mon-Tues dramas. Clearly something has to give, and despite what I wrote earlier, I think logically The Great Seer ought to be a Wed-Thurs drama to follow To The … Continue reading →
After filming for a month and a half on the upcoming TW/C drama Turn Around Fall in Love (formerly called Return to the Past), a steady stream of BTS stills have trickled out showing leads Choi Si Won, Yuan Hong, Wang Luo Dan, and Jessie Chiang looking fantastic in character. This is not a time-traveling drama, per se, but Wang Luo Dan’s … Continue reading →
I’ve had this post percolating since forever, but there was one hold out on it that made me iffy. Finally, at long last and really I shouldn’t be surprised, I have fallen madly for the charm of a certain Prince-turned-reluctant-King. With that, I can officially say that I adore the majority of the class of actors and actresses born in … Continue reading →
Skip Beat (Extravagant Challange) is nearing the end of its filming, and this week Donghae wrapped all his scenes and tearfully bid farewell to Taiwan. He was given flowers by the crew and he started crying because it was such an overwhelming experience for him. He promised to join the cast and crew in Bali to celebrate when the drama … Continue reading →
There must be something in the air around here, because I am way more excited about upcoming TW-dramas than I am about upcoming K-dramas (with the exception of Best Love). GTV is totally on a roll these days, it has Hayate the Combat Butler completed, and now Extravagant Challange, its long-awaited live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat finally starts … Continue reading →
