Last year 2022 was an extraordinarily good year for K-dramas but so far in 2023 we haven’t had a big yet hit, The Glory doesn’t count since it technically is considered a 2022 drama premiering at the end of December. SBS had a solid hit with Taxi Driver 2 and may even improve on that with the follow up drama … Continue reading →
The doctor is back, the romantic teacher on that is! SBS has kicked off the promo circuit for Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 3 (Dr. Romantic 3) which reunites the entire cast from season 2 with Han Suk Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, and Ahn Hyo Seob as the leads along with the sprawling broader supporting cast of familiar faces. The drama … Continue reading →
It’s weird that season 1 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim had the two younger leads not return for season 2 but now the 3rd season will continue with the same cast as season 2. I guess Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok were just too big at that point for another subordinate still learning the ropes role but much … Continue reading →
So the next season is also happening for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, coming back in 2023 for the third go-around. Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 will continue the story as left off with the second season including the return of Han Suk Kyu who has been in all the dramas so far with his 2nd season leads … Continue reading →
I’m glad that SBS is still holding its year end SBS Drama Awards and that its decided to forgo tradition that makes it like a year end party and do it social distanced in a time of increasing yet again COVID counts. The network will not have all the attendees sit in round tables below the stage and instead winners … Continue reading →
Yes, the Queen slays and I love how she tops a poll followed by 6 men. The Joynews Korea 16th anniversary poll of the best actor/actress of 2020 is out, sampling over 200 entertainment industry professionals per the earlier poll topics. The World of the Married brought Kim Hee Ae ratings success and critical acclaim so she got 67 votes … Continue reading →
I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of the titular Romantic Teacher and he’s definitely earned his dues. The SBS medical drama Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2 ended it’s run this Tuesday with a final episode high ratings of 27.1%. The average ratings for the entire run was 18.4% which is high nowadays for prime time dramas and … Continue reading →
This is a neat coincidence and probably means more viewers will be tuning in for the second half of this drama. SBS Mon-Tues medical drama Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2, the second season of the hit original which aired in 2016, broke 20% ratings in today’s episode 8. The original also crossed the 20% mark in its episode 8, and … Continue reading →
The first season of SBS medical drama Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim premiered with 9.5% AGB nationwide ratings and ended with over 27% in its final episode. It’s one of the rare prime time successes in recent years so not a surprise the network decided on a season 2. What was weird was how long it took but I guess the … Continue reading →
I’m in K-drama heaven right now with two weekend dramas capturing all my attention so I’m not as anxiously awaiting the upcoming releases. The first 2020 new K-drama arrives next Monday on January 6th, the second season of SBS medical hit Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 2. With Han Suk Kyu returning as the sage mentor, this time he teachers youngsters … Continue reading →
Han Suk Kyu doesn’t look either either a doctor or a teacher in his first stills for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 2, more like he’s auditioning for the fisherman killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer lol. It was a fairly routine type of blah year for the network in 2019 in terms of ratings … Continue reading →
The doctor + teacher is bad in the house, or hospital, as filming as kicked off for season 2 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim. The first one with Han Suk Kyu, Yoo Yeon Suk, and Seo Hyun Jin got good ratings so it’s reasonable SBS would bank on the same formula for a second go-around. It works because only Han … Continue reading →
The Sat-Sun time slot was supposed to be owned by tvN this summer with Arthdal Chronicles but unfortunately the writing and directing is just weird and not engaging so the viewership at 6% averaging has been a disappointment for the massively budgeted production. OCN has always done darker far and now its upcoming Watcher has a good shot at carving … Continue reading →
