I’ve been mostly out of commission since the new year so haven’t watched any new K-drama in a few weeks. I’m trying to finish up I am Not a Robot (so nonsensical but sweet) and Hwayugi (entertaining but inconsistent) but two high profile new releases this month have both started off promising already. SBS Wed-Thurs police thriller Return with Go Hyun … Continue reading →
I think this is a great idea but have a feeling that the network is parlaying a scheduling blip into great publicity. MBC has announced that it won’t be airing any new K-dramas until March 2017, when the current crop of prime time dramas Two Cops on Mon-Tues and I am Not a Robot on Wed-Thurs end in January the … Continue reading →
The K-viewers have spoken the melo remains King of the K-drama ratings, at least for the foreseeable next 8 weeks in the Wed-Thurs time slot. Despite being neck and neck with yesterday’s airing, this Thursday saw KBS fantasy melodrama Black Knight solidly come in first place with 9.3% AGB ratings, followed by Judge vs. Judge (Nothing to Lose) with 7.1% … Continue reading →
The showdown between robot, knight and judge has a victor by a small margin in the first joust. Wednesday’s K-dramas found SBS legal drama Judge v. Judge (Nothing to Lose) taking advantage of it’s one week head start as it took in 6.6% and 7.3% AGN nationwide ratings. Coming in second was 6.9% for KBS fantasy melo Black Knight with … Continue reading →
This week is the premiere of new MBC Wed-Thurs K-drama I am Not a Robot, which definitely is K-drama style rom-com as far as I can tell. Even better is that this one has elements of the kooky, unlike the last so-called rom-com I watched This Life is My First which had a few laugh out loud moments but overall … Continue reading →
Some weeks feel longer than others and same goes for the wait for upcoming K-dramas. MBC‘s next Wed-Thurs drama I am Not a Robot has been incubation for much longer than usual, four extra weeks to be precise after Hospital Ship ended but the network was still mired in a labor strike. Sadly today doesn’t end the drought as viewers … Continue reading →
The battle for robot control supremacy is on as the latest preview for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot pits human-allergic Yoo Seung Ho against mad scientist Eom Ki Joon. That they are jostling to program Chae Soo Bin in different robot modes is even funnier considering she’s not even a robot to begin with. It’s a girl pretending … Continue reading →
If MBC‘s upcoming Wed-Thurs drama I am Not a Robot ends up not working, I may still stick around to gaze upon male lead Yoo Seung Ho in various snappy winter wear outfits. The drama finally has a premiere date of December 6th, three weeks after it should have aired after Hospital Ship other than that pesky network labor strike … Continue reading →
The first OTP teaser is out for MBC rom-com drama I am Not a Robot, still languishing from airing despite the Wed-Thurs time slot vacated by Hospital Ship two weeks ago due to the network strike. Thankfully the strike appears to be over now that the MBC network president everyone was protesting to remove has been fired by the board. … Continue reading →
This is just the lighthearted breath of fresh cutie pie air I needed to brighten the day. The first teasers are out for MBC rom-com I am Not a Robot and everything about each of the character snapshots are so cute. Leads Yoo Seung Ho, Chae Soo Bin, and Eom Ki Joon look their parts and the serious transitioning to … Continue reading →
The first stills are out of the fated meeting between a rich guy with an allergy to other humans and the girl who will win his heart by pretending to be a robot. Upcoming K-drama I am Not a Robot is the stuff of shoujo manga synopsis pitches and funnily enough isn’t adapted from one. If it was then the … Continue reading →
The first look at actress Chae Soo Bin in upcoming MBC drama I am Not a Robot is out and count me intrigued. She looks super doll-like in her styling and surprisingly believable as a girl pretending to be a robot. Her character crosses paths with Yoo Seung Ho‘s super wealthy and successful financial entrepreneur with a severe allergy to … Continue reading →
A smile from my cutie patootie Yoo Seung Ho is enough to life my otherwise crappy day so far. Even better is knowing that he’ll be back on the small screen for 8 straight weeks starting in mid-November. I am Not a Robot is a MBC Wed-Thurs drama that takes that time slot from the medical drama of Hospital Ship … Continue reading →
