This is the oddest poll ever even in the world of K-ent where anything can become the subject of a poll. With Christmas around the corner, typically polls are about which star the average Joe or Jane wants to spend the holidays with, but this poll takes it one step further to ask which drama character. Forget the star which … Continue reading →
I can’t believe the year end drama awards are right around the corner, I’m still enjoying the final offerings of this year rather than in previous years when I couldn’t wait for the next year dramas to arrive. Each network holds their own drama awards show with slightly different tweaks. SBS released its list of Best Couple nominees this weekend, … Continue reading →
It’s a job well done for the cast and crew of just wrapped SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, a drama that ended up being as bland as it’s final title when all the potential was there to make it interesting as the original title of Female Gangster Hye Jung hinted at. I dropped the drama midway through for being so utterly … Continue reading →
We’re headed into the dog days of summer and the rankings are out for the content power index in Korean entertainment. Leading the way in K-drama buzz is MBC Wed-Thurs drama W: Two Worlds, a solid number 1 position for it’s fresh story and exciting narrative and rising each week in ratings. Coming in second is SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, … Continue reading →
There’s been a whole lotta of kissing going on in prime time K-dramas, specifically in the three trendiest and buzzed about dramas on air right now. Doctors holding down the Mon-Tues slot had one terrible rainy kiss a few weeks ago that needs to be permanently deleted from audience memories, but made up for it with another kiss and comforting … Continue reading →
Looks like the next legit prime time drama hit is here after the runaway success of Descendants of the Sun on KBS. This time the glow is over on SBS as Mon-Tues drama Doctors has increased by around 2% yet again to hit 18.4% AGB nationwide on this Monday’s episode 5. Even better is the drama breaking 20% AGB in … Continue reading →
SBS premiered two new prime time dramas this week to opposite spectrum results, and the one win greatly trumps the one loss if you ask me. Doctors with Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won burst out of the gate to fantastic ratings, garnering 12.9% AGB nationwide on Monday and the second episode rose 1.3% to bring in 14.2%Â AGB nationwide … Continue reading →
I think I can get over one supremely unpalatable drama trope as long as it’s minimal and everything else works. That means upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors has to limit the high school scenes where Park Shin Hye‘s younger rebellious self bonds with her high school teacher played by Kim Rae Won, because even if they don’t have actual romantic … Continue reading →
Well, this certainly is a nice way to amp up excitement for upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Doctors, not that I personally need anymore flame fanning since I’m already super stoked. The first stills are out of Ji Soo playing a supporting role, more like a guest starring turn, playing an important someone in female lead Park Shin Hye‘s character Hye … Continue reading →
I see major flashbacks to Park Shin Hye‘s last drama Pinocchio, and it’s not something I sensed in early previews for Doctors but I totally sense it now with the official drama posters. It’s not a bad sort of flashback since I loved Pinocchio and also loved the posters, it just feels lazy that same network SBS resorted to such … Continue reading →
The onscreen face-off of Park Shin Hye and Lee Sung Kyung in Doctors takes shape in the latest drama stills from the arriving soon Mon-Tues SBS drama. Looks like they are friends back in the high school days, and in the present turn into colleagues in the neurosurgery department of the same hospital. First loves in Hallyu dramas are overplayed … Continue reading →
Park Shin Hye can’t quite leave high school behind yet, at least not onscreen when it comes to her drama roles. For her last few dramas she’s had a high school flashback section and/or actually played a high school student, even though being in her mid-20s she is now ready for adult roles all the time. Context is important and … Continue reading →
