A new SBS drama will be adapted from the French Le Mante and uses the same title of Mantis. The leads have now been confirmed as veteran actress Go Hyun Jung and young leading man Jang Dong Yoon, this time playing an estranged mother-son with a very dark history. Go Hyun Jung is a female serial killer incarcerated for killing … Continue reading →
Rom-coms are never big budgeted to begin with but when I saw the poster and first trailer for My Man is Cupid I just felt bad for the cast involved. This looks like a cast off project that leads Jang Dong Yoon, Nana, and Park Ki Woong picked up either to pay the bills or fill time on their open … Continue reading →
The drama casting gods have spoken and there is a big modern era period drama in the works that has the main cast now. KBS is planning Oasis for the latter half of 2022, set in the 1980’s into the 1990’s, and already I’m getting major East of Eden and Giant vibes in a good way. The drama will star … Continue reading →
After the SBS zombie sageuk drama Joseon Exorcist debacle, I just hoped that none of the cast members would be negatively affected by the netizen witch hunt to yeet that drama out of existence. Male lead Jang Dong Yoon clearly was highly scrutinized to express appropriate levels of remorse for being involved with the drama and I’m not sure if … Continue reading →
There are too many different elements at play with the controversy around Joseon Exorcist, some understandable and others just nonsense of letting the jingoistic minority perform cancel culture on things that likely happened in history they simply don’t like/accept. After airing only 2 episodes, SBS has announced that it will be cancelling the remainder of the drama after first considering … Continue reading →
K-actor Jang Dong Yoon is putting his hat in the ring of the Song Kang sweepstakes, i.e. working nonstop. Jang Dong Yoon currently is starring in the SBS Mon-Tues zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist which has been filming consistently for months and now he may be signing on for his next drama. He’s been offered the male lead in the KBS … Continue reading →
Yay it’s finally here! This Monday is the premiere of new SBS sageuk Joseon Exorcist, returning the network a drama in that Mon-Tues time slot after Penthouse finished its first season and moved the second season to Fri-Sat. It’s a huge cast that includes veteran Kam Woo Sung as the King and Seo Young Hee as the Queen, male leads … Continue reading →
I’m so looking forward to SBS sageuk Joseon Exorcist less for the zombie aspect but solely for the amazing cast and to find a good sageuk. I’m super sad my most anticipated River Where the Moon Rises didn’t have a strong script or directing and now further falls apart with the replacement of the male lead. I’m a tad worried … Continue reading →
The Ji Soo debacle in River Where the Moon Rises has rekindled the gripe K-netz has with younger actor/actress casting in sageuk, which is held to a much higher standard thanks to the record breaking ratings in the early Hallyu days for 50-episode epics that required fortitude and intense acting prowess to create. I thought Ji Soo’s acting in River … Continue reading →
The first official drama poster is out for SBS zombie sageuk Joseon Exorcist and it’s gorgeous and creative enough to shine on its own. The production took a historical landscape painting style and created a poster showing the Joseon Palace and the denizens of the court. Instead of going about their daily lives they are instead battling zombies and maybe … Continue reading →
The charismatic hotties for the price of one movie ticket, oh heck yeah! Seo In Guk and Jang Dong Yoon are confirmed to star in action sci-fi thriller movie Wolf Hunt, set on a giant ocean freighter that is transporting prisoners overseas. Both actors will be playing prisoners on the ship and the movie is from the director of hit … Continue reading →
This week new K-dramas are piling on like zombies spotting a live human but after we get out from under the backlog there are still more premieres to come in early March. One that I am super looking forward to is Joseon Exorcist with Kam Woo Sung and Jang Dong Yoon, which everyone agrees is just the next chapter of … Continue reading →
I confess to skipping the last installment of the KBS drama School franchise, namely School 2017. Four years ago I looked at the cast and didn’t know anyone and thought it was a bunch of randos so passed. Now I’m ready to find time for a watch thanks to the incredible success of the cast in the intervening years, and … Continue reading →
