Moon Chae Won All Smiles Even After the Disappointing MBC Drama Goodbye Mr. Black

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 19, 2016 by ockoalaAugust 18, 2016
Woman smiling in front of a bookshelf.

Having a drama fail to engage me despite starring an actor or actress I really like is becoming so routine now, and I cut my losses quick nowadays rather than slog on. It also means I fail to see how the performances are fleshed out as the drama progresses, only getting an initial glimpse before the story line or poor … Continue reading →

Descendants of the Sun Special Episode Dominates Wed Ratings with 17.7% and Entertainer Premieres with 6.1%

I thought the Descendants of the Sun ratings gravy train was over for KBS but apparently not. The production team and network wisely elected not to extend DotS, not that it was realistically even possible anyways since it was fully pre-produced, but still that was a major relief for those watching along. That meant DotS aired it’s final episode 16 last … Continue reading →

So long to two of the three currently airing Wed-Thurs K-dramas, and especially to the massive Pan-Asia hit Descendants of the Sun for bringing back eight weeks of what felt like the heydays of the ratings past. DotS made drama watching into a collective experience again as viewers tuned in during live television broadcasts and sent the ratings increasing week … Continue reading →

Drama Airing Schedule Changes for Wed April 13th Due to Korean Election Coverage

Politics remains a hot topic in South Korea even as Hallyu and entertainment is big business these days. Whenever there is a big election things either grind to a halt or the drama broadcast looks annoyingly marred with election results. Both are happening this Wednesday April 13th as the election for National Assembly candidates takes place in Korea. On KBS, … Continue reading →

Descendants of the Sun Records Highest Ratings in Yoo Ah In Cameo’d Episode 13 as Please Come Back Ahjusshi Drops Even Further

Korean drama scenes featuring romantic moments.

The battle has turned into a zero sum game as it heads into the final stretch, with the winner continuing to win and the losers still getting bruised. Episode 13 of Descendants of the Sun brought in a 33.5% AGB nationwide ratings, with Goodbye Mr. Black steady at 4.6%, but poor Please Come Bach Ahjusshi dropped yet again to garner … Continue reading →

Oh ouch, this one’s gotta hurt, and not sure if the hurt is lessened by having another fellow fallen comrade. The ratings are out for this Wednesday’s prime time dramas and all eyes are on newcomer Goodbye Mr. Black with Moon Chae Won and Lee Jin Wook to see if it can make a dent in runaway rating’s leader Descendants … Continue reading →

Long Preview and Press Conference Stills for Goodbye Mr. Black

It’s undoubtedly a steep hill to climb for Goodbye Mr. Black to bring in the drama viewers when it premieres this week. Any new drama has its work cut out to lure viewers in because of an interesting story or a fantastic cast, but that feat is future burdened when there is a hit already airing on the competition networks. … Continue reading →

Drama Posters for Goodbye Mr. Black are All Dark with One Twilight Throwback

Drama poster featuring five mysterious characters.

The drama posters for upcoming MBC revenge thriller drama Goodbye Mr. Black just dropped and is mostly dull and uninspired but for one sterling winner. The group poster above is a dead ringer for the types of movie posters in the Twilight movie series! I’m just waiting for sunlight induced sparkles around Lee Jin Wook to turn his Mr. Black … Continue reading →

Moon Chae Won Redefines Short Hair Goddess Pretty in Goodbye Mr. Black

Smiling woman by the water's edge.

I’m totally girl crushing on Moon Chae Won‘s short hair style in upcoming MBC drama Goodbye Mr. Black. It was goodbye long lustrous locks for her when she signed on for this project and I hope no tears were shed because it’s my favorite boy cut look ever. Park Shin Hye did it in You’re Beautiful and was more cute … Continue reading →

MBC is going to face tough competition when it premieres two new prime time dramas in the coming weeks. First is Goodbye Mr. Black on Wed-Thurs, going up against runaway hit Descendants of the Sun and lowly rated but getting good audience feedback Please Come Back Ahjusshi. I think Mr. Black has a steeper climb compared to its same network sibling … Continue reading →

That all the promotional materials for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Goodbye Mr. Black look genuinely promising, the official stills moreso than then first trailers for me, bodes well for this latecomer to the competitive time slot. Descendants of the Sun is already going well and judging by the noticeable ratings increase for Please Come Back Ahjusshi from the first to … Continue reading →

Last week’s premieres of the highly anticipated Wed-Thurs dramas Descendants of the Sun and Please Come Back Ahjusshi was off to a good start, but not at the level of astronomical ratings that latecomer competition Goodbye Mr. Black doesn’t have a chance to succeed when it premieres soon. I feel like having three good dramas doesn’t necessarily steal ratings away … Continue reading →

Man in suit with a gun, intense expression.

This isn’t quite up to snuff but no biggie since it’s just a short ten second teaser not to mention recently a drama reminded me that lackluster promos isn’t a surefire death knell. The first teaser is out for upcoming MBC drama Goodbye Mr. Black, and for the sake of the production team I hope the drama doesn’t premiere to … Continue reading →
