Upcoming Gaus Electronics, adapted from the same name webtoon, will be airing on Olleh TV and Seezn and is confirmed to star Kwak Dong Yeon, Go Sung Hee, Bae Hyun … Continue reading →
Breathing a sigh of relief here and none of my fave actresses are cast in this one. Go Sung Hee will be the lucky (or unlucky) leading lady to join Park Shi Hoo in his upcoming TV Chosun sageuk Wind, Cloud, and Rain. Knowing TV Chosun carving out a nice niche in sageuk dramas courtesy of Jin Se Yeon (who … Continue reading →
If the just premiered tvN Wed-Thurs rom-com Touch Your Heart feels like a total throwback to what a drama rom-com a decade ago looks like, then the upcoming movie Trade Your Love gives off the same vibes and I’m not complaining. Trade Your Love is about an immature heir to an airline chaebol who has to get married to inherit … Continue reading →
One of the official drama posters for the upcoming KBS drama adaptation of US legal show Suits hilariously made the title read Sluts, but that was a harmless type font fail since the two male leads Park Hyung Sik and Jang Dong Gun were in that poster and one could never accuse them of being sluts ahahaha. Thank god none … Continue reading →
This news post is a week late but it was a trying week in K-ent with the saddest star departure followed by the happiest celebrity wedding, one needs to take a deep breath and get back on track.

It’s been a good streak for me, if you consider two straight K-dramas that I love a streak. Sadly the quality of K-dramas has gone down overall in the recent years and with it comes lower expectations. So to have followed tvN drama Live Up to Your Name avidly in the end of summer rolling straight into loving SBS drama … Continue reading →
This Wednesday is the arrival of highly promoted SBS pre-produced drama While You Were Sleeping, teaming up for the third time screenwriter Park Hye Ryun with her most often used male lead Lee Jong Seok. Even if this drama is a hit I think this ought to be it for these two, Park Hye Ryun has had a good run … Continue reading →
It’s rise and shine time soon for SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, not just over a week away from premiering as Reunited Worlds finishes its run this week in the Wed-Thurs slot. This will hopefully be third time’s also a charm for screenwriter Park Hye Ryun, who has delivered for SBS on the Wed-Thurs time slot two previously successful … Continue reading →
September is here which means the countdown to the arrival of SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping is less than 30 days away. This is one pre-filmed drama that I’ve been following along with consistently since it was announced earlier this year, solely for male lead Lee Jong Seok and also his third reunion working with screenwriter Park Hye … Continue reading →
A big thanks to MBC for starting off the year end drama awards procession off right. The network was first of the big three to hold it’s drama awards and this year managed to not screw things up or piss audiences off. Ji Sung walked home with the Daesang (Grand Prize), capping off on a high note what has been … Continue reading →
The 2014 MBC Drama Awards mostly went off without a hitch, other than the Jaejoong last minute inexplicable no-show hiccup and all the winners being as predicted to make the evening feel rather dull. The fashion parade was more interesting for me what with the sequins and lace everywhere and the stark contrast between white/gold versus black. The Daesang went … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for the KBS Friday night drama Spy and it reminds me yet again not to believe I have a clue what a drama has in store by the concept and casting alone. The teaser has got a weird off-kilter old school superhero TV show vibe. It almost feels like the heroes and villains are marked … Continue reading →
KBS is making an effort to promote the next Friday night K-drama rather than let float aimlessly in the wind like Hi! School: Love On. HSLO has been airing one episode a week since July, which is almost as long as those 50 episode weekend dramas except nothing ever happens in HSLO and the drama got preempted a few times … Continue reading →
