April and May was light for me on dramas to follow and one reason was that tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star (Sh**ting Stars) was so underwhelming. It may have gotten better but I didn’t like the first two episodes and that was enough for me. I did tune in from time to time to check out the parade of K-ent … Continue reading →
I feel like SBS drama Penthouse spent all its money on the salaries of so many big name stars and just hired a college kid to do the promotional materials. It’s so bad it’s….good? The trio of female leads Kim So Yeon, Lee Ji Ah, and Eugene are doing their best The Princess, The Bitch, and The Social Climber poses … Continue reading →
This totally looks like SBS is trying to do their own version of Sky Castle which is fine but the writing better be airtight. Casting is confirming and production heads underway for the next Mon-Tues drama Penthouse, with a clown car full of names in the cast. Starring Kim So Yeon, Lee Ji Ah, Eugene, Shin Eun Kyung, Eom Ki … Continue reading →
This week is the premiere of new MBC Wed-Thurs K-drama I am Not a Robot, which definitely is K-drama style rom-com as far as I can tell. Even better is that this one has elements of the kooky, unlike the last so-called rom-com I watched This Life is My First which had a few laugh out loud moments but overall … Continue reading →
The battle for robot control supremacy is on as the latest preview for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot pits human-allergic Yoo Seung Ho against mad scientist Eom Ki Joon. That they are jostling to program Chae Soo Bin in different robot modes is even funnier considering she’s not even a robot to begin with. It’s a girl pretending … Continue reading →
If MBC‘s upcoming Wed-Thurs drama I am Not a Robot ends up not working, I may still stick around to gaze upon male lead Yoo Seung Ho in various snappy winter wear outfits. The drama finally has a premiere date of December 6th, three weeks after it should have aired after Hospital Ship other than that pesky network labor strike … Continue reading →
This is just the lighthearted breath of fresh cutie pie air I needed to brighten the day. The first teasers are out for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot and everything about each of the character snapshots are so cute. Leads Yoo Seung Ho, Chae Soo Bin, and Eom Ki Joon look their parts and the serious transitioning to … Continue reading →
The first stills are out of the fated meeting between a rich guy with an allergy to other humans and the girl who will win his heart by pretending to be a robot. Upcoming K-drama I am Not a Robot is the stuff of shoujo manga synopsis pitches and funnily enough isn’t adapted from one. If it was then the … Continue reading →
My excitement for Yoo Seung Ho‘s next drama was tempered slightly by news of his leading lady choice, but now it’s back up again seeing how cute the leads are together. The script reading for upcoming MBC drama I am Not a Robot was released this week though the drama has been filming already for a scheduled November 8th premiere … Continue reading →
This Monday is the premiere of new SBS Mon-Tues drama Defendant, taking over for the huge hit that was Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. It will be interesting to see how the ratings are for Defendant right off the bat, with KBS in midway airing of sageuk Hwarang and MBC finishing up the final week of the low rated Night Light. … Continue reading →
I wonder how much harder it is for post-marriage and now daddy Ji Sung to play the titular role in upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Defendant. Faced with with calamity of going from a happy husband and father to the chief suspect in the murder of his wife and daughter, Ji Sung’s prosecutor turned defendant must navigate both the legal landmines from … Continue reading →
I’m pretty conflicted about upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Defendant. On one had it stars the incredibly magnetic Ji Sung, but then it also stars the bland as white bread Yuri of SNSD as his leading lady. He’s already had one SBS misfire with this year’s Entertainer, which proved that Hyeri is either a one hit wonder or simply ably directed … Continue reading →
SBS is currently slaying the ratings on Mon-Tues with Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, the second hit medical drama of the year for the network after Doctors. After the drama ends in early January 2017, the network will next switch to the ever popular legal genre with Defendant starring Ji Sung, Yuri of SNSD, Eom Ki Joon, Oh Chang Seok, and … Continue reading →
