With the ending of Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow the tvN Sat-Sun time slot is going for a light hearted modern rom-com to change up the pace. Taking over is Crash Course in Romance which I legit just forgot about as the casting was perplexing to me from the onset. Starring Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho, she’s … Continue reading →
Writing Jung Do Yeon and the words rom-com drama in the same sentence, never thought that would happen but here it is! The top award winning actress will be back on the small screen later this year in a genre she hasn’t been in for close to two decades.

There was always a popular bar that jTBC drama Lost (Human Disqualification) was going to have to vault over. The drama is serious and tackles the depressing aspects of life and that’s never an easy sell. But My Ahjusshi (My Mister) did it in both critical acclaim AND bringing in high ratings so it is doable, but 5-episodes in Lost … Continue reading →
I’m annoyed when productions pick an English title for a K-drama that is both totally different than the Korean title and is so generic or shares the title with a much more famous earlier project. jTBC is calling the upcoming Human Disqualification (Disqualified From Being Human) based on the same name novel with the drama title of Lost, and goodness … Continue reading →
This drama may be the most critically acclaim packed even before it airs thanks to the cast and crew. jTBC drama Human Disqualification (Disqualified as a Human or No Longer Human) will star Jeon Do Yeon and Ryu Jun Yeol, and be directed by acclaimed movie director Hur Jin Ho in his first drama series helmed. Normally I would say … Continue reading →
The confirmation for upcoming K-drama Human Disqualification feels a harem for the male lead, lol. I’m teasing but it’s five actresses and one actor so far, so lucky him. K-ent has announced Jeon Do Yeon and Ryu Jun Yeol for the drama Human Disqualification, and yes their big age difference is intentional as the female lead is in her 40’s … Continue reading →
Well this is certainly big casting news. On the heels on earlier reporting that top movie actress Jeon Do Yeon is coming back to the small screen soon, now she’s got a leading man and he’s quite the quirky charmer.

Goodness this is a wild and wildly impressive casting land for the production of upcoming action K-movie Emergency Declaration. Starring leads Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, and Jeon Do Yeon, the movie added Im Shi Wan and Kim Nam Gil a few weeks ago and this week pulled in Park Hae Joon (male lead of The World of the … Continue reading →
Not sure if the movie isn’t very well plotted or both leading lady candidates simply found it too light for their usual more challenging fare. The K-movie Hip Daddy is likely dead in the water now as there are no more leads involved with the production. Male lead Seo In Guk left this week after both Jeon Do Yeon and … Continue reading →
This cast is so star-studded and collectively award winning that the most junior member is an A-list leading man in his own right. K-ent is reporting that the upcoming action/disaster/thriller movie Emergency Declaration has completed lead casting with a veritable who’s who of top movie actors – Song Kang Ho and Lee Byung Hun are the two male lead and … Continue reading →
The Sports Chosun 30th Anniversary poll of South Korean entertainment insiders on the Power People within the industry is definitely worth discussing especially in the drama category. For the film category it’s harder to have biases as movies remain a wall in K-ent where to become a film star one is a true A-lister. Far and away by like three … Continue reading →
Leave it to seasoned A-list Korean stars to make such an impact with such limited screen time as the Korean adaptation of The Good Wife reveals the first one-two punch with an official poster and teaser.
