I was a little disappointed that KBS decided to take a week off between Prime Minister and I ending and the premiere of Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds) since I was ready to roll right into another drama routine. Of course that’s assuming Full Sun is actually good or that I’ll like it, but I’m saying a itty bitty little … Continue reading →
I’m a little disappointed Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds) won’t air next Monday on KBS. Having that time slot just vacated by Prime Minister and I remain dark for a week without a new K-drama feels as blah as the way my beloved PM signed off without any sizzle. On the upside, no drama production has ever complained about getting … Continue reading →
While folks watching KBS on Mon-Tues may be hand wringing over next week’s ending to Prime Minister and I, I’m taking a break from over-analyzing that drama with a breather to check out the just released second teaser for its follow up drama Full Sun (Beyond the Clouds). Still not feeling the English title one whit. With this drama heading … Continue reading →
More than the other networks, it’s KBS that loves to give its dramas titles that are not literal translations of the Korean title. Recent ones include Marry Him If You Dare (Mirae’s Choice), The Fugitive of Joseon (Mandate of Heaven), Bel Ami (Pretty Boy), The Innocent Man (Nice Guy) et. al. It’s doing it again for the upcoming Mon-Tues melodrama … Continue reading →
Currently the cast of the upcoming KBS melodrama Full Sun is in Bangkok, Thailand filming the overseas shoot portion of the drama.

IRIS 2 had … Continue reading →
It might be too early yet to look deep into 2014 for what’s coming on the K-drama horizon though the networks have indeed plotted out their entire year more or less. So far the leaks and rumors have only gone as far as the Summer projects but I thought it nice to lay out what I know so far on … Continue reading →
Dayum, now this is what I call slaying the audience with one look. The first teaser and stills are out for the upcoming KBS prime time melodrama Full Sun and I think I’m all in at this point. At least I’m all in when it comes to checking it out without any expectation or reservation based on my affinity at … Continue reading →
Here comes the late-Winter 2014 K-dramas! I feel like this year is already off to the races while I’m still scrambling to get out of bed and fumbling for my slippers. The most high profile K-drama is the thriller Three Days starring Park Yoo Chun, Son Hyun Joo, Park Ha Sun, So Yi Hyun, Kim Young Chul, and Yoon Je … Continue reading →
Despite my love for Prime Minister and I, its single digit ratings is clearly not bringing the happy for KBS and also for the rom-com genre in general. No wonder KBS is reaching back to its tried and true formula of melodramas for the post-PM slot called Full Sun clearly hoping to follow in the footsteps of Nice Guy and Secret. The drama … Continue reading →
