The conclusion of tvN time-travel and do-over drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) frees up on Wed-Thurs again after being fairly addicted for the past eight weeks. I tried to watch on the days it aired but wasn’t so engrossed that I couldn’t miss a few same day airings and catch up on the weekends. It was much better than I … Continue reading →

Knowing is power and the K-drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) took a fantasy trick of time-traveling to the past and alternate futures to give both leads Han Ji Min and Ji Sung‘s married couple characters a chance to be the best versions of themselves. It’s too cutesy and honestly both probably screwed others over in the alternate timelines but since … Continue reading →

You know you love a drama when it elicits the entire breadth of emotions from anger to happy tears in a single episode. Even more clear how much I’m loving tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) is that I equally love/hate male lead Ji Sung‘s character and can’t wait to see him both suffer for his selfish choices and ultimately … Continue reading →

I’m relieved the additional drama posters for tvN‘s choice changing life drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) turned out to also be as good as the initial teaser posters. After the trainwreck cut and paste photoshop of MBC drama Risky Romance, it’s a nice visual palate cleanser to see a drama poster be both pretty and forecast the story. The main … Continue reading →

It’s the return of dorky Ji Sung! The first stills are out for Ji Sung in upcoming K-drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife), and he’s seen with a campaign sash handing out flyers. I say dorky is the vibe he gives off because of how they saddled him with the slightly ruffled modified bowl haircut. He looks so earnest and adorable, … Continue reading →
