I’m totally going to check this out and one wonders if Coupang Play streaming only drama One Ordinary Day (That Night) premiering next week will also bring in the same type of subscriber increase.

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, … 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 … 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 … 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. … 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 … Continue reading
