I feel bad for these two dramas which actually both look good and create counter programming so something for different tastes. But with Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo dominating across the board in buzz it almost feels like these two new premieres aren’t getting as much attention as it would have normally. New MBC Fri-Sat drama is Big Mouth with … Continue reading →
The first stills are out for SBS July 2022 Fri-Sat drama Today’s Webtoon, adapted from the Japanese manga Juhan Shuttai which was turned into J-dorama Sleeeper Hit. Starring Kim Se Jung, Nam Yoon Soo, and Daniel Choi, it centers around the workplace of a webtoon publisher and deals with the growth of the characters through the tribulations of publishing a … Continue reading →
It’s strike while the iron’s hot and buzzy young leading lady Kim Se Jung is already filming her next drama after the surprise rom-com hit A Business Proposal. She’s sticking with SBS as well which has confirmed the airing of Today’s Webtoon, a remake of the J-dorama Sleepeeer Hit! which is adapted from a manga. It’s a workplace drama with … Continue reading →
Okay this casting sounds a lot more aligned with the original work. K-ent is reporting that Daniel Choi is in talks to be the male lead in the upcoming K-drama remake of J-dorama Tomorrow’s Webtoon. It’s already confirmed to star Kim Se Jung who is coming off two successful dramas in a row with The Uncanny Counter and now A … Continue reading →
I didn’t think Jugglers could be a euphemism for someone who is good at handling multiple tasks, or maybe it’s that the K-drama is using the phrase incorrectly by making it a plural noun. But then I read the synopsis and realized SBS is using Jugglers correctly and there are more than one adept juggler in this other aside from … Continue reading →
The first batch of lead stills are out for upcoming KBS drama Jugglers, probably one of the lower profile prime time dramas but with the network currently leading the Mon-Tues time slot with the surprise success of Witch’s Court then it’s setting up this drama for a good chance to succeed as well. Starring Daniel Choi and Baek Jin Hee, … Continue reading →
A solid foursome has been assembled for upcoming KBS drama Jugglers which will follow currently airing Witch’s Court come early December. It’s an office romance drama and the few I can name off the top of my head this year have all flopped from Sensitive Boss to Radiant Office. Doesn’t mean Jugglers can’t flip the ratings switch for the genre … Continue reading →
For years I’ve been seeing these types of pre-star pictures floating around here and there, and finally decided to collect as many as I can into one post. Half of it is for my own viewing lulz and the other half is to share since so many folks like one or more of these K-actors. This collection of school-aged pictures … Continue reading →
The happy and proud cast and crew of the just ended KBS Mon-Tues drama Big Man hied themselves off to a cast wrap party on Tuesday as the drama prepared to air its final episode. What can I say about Big Man? It wasn’t great but it had heart, and more importantly, it stuck to its guns and told a … Continue reading →
I find the character set-up in Big Man quite odd in the sense that the pairings are off has extended to the promotion for the drama featuring Jung So Min and Daniel Choi posing together in a recent issue of Allure Korea magazine. Don’t get me wrong, I freaking love this photo spread with a 60’s theme presented in an … Continue reading →
I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s safe to watch Big Man airing on KBS Mon-Tues. The central premise is so ridiculous the entire drama almost sinks under it by the end of episode 1, but episode 2 turns it all around big time and suddenly all bets are off. It’s such a delight to watch … Continue reading →
KBS delayed the premiere of Big Man intentionally for two weeks after its predecessor Beyond the Clouds (Full Sun) finished up its run in the Mon-Tues time slot. The intention was to avoid the ratings dominance of Empress Ki, but someone over at KBS couldn’t count because Big Man would have needed to be delayed for three weeks to dodge … Continue reading →
I hope viewers aren’t writing off Big Man before it premieres. It’d be a shame to arrive DOA to do a myriad of factors – the lackluster lead-in from Full Sun, the two week break between Full Sun ending and Big Man starting to avoid an Empress Ki head-to-head, and the really wonky birth secret to steal a heart set … Continue reading →
