The year isn’t over yet and one of the candidates for the SBS year end drama award Daesang hasn’t even aired his drama lol but there is definitely a good feel for what it’s going to come down to by the end of December. SBS has had the most hits out of the big three networks this year in 2024 … Continue reading →
We finally see the first K-drama in June start picking up momentum and it’s SBS Fri-Sat police thriller Connection starring Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do. The first episode got 5.7% ratings and has only gone up each episode until the most recent episode 6 with 9.4%. It’s on track to break double digits which would be fantastic as the … Continue reading →
My relationship with procedural dramas is very season or mood dependent. When I’m in the mood I scarf up amazing works like Beyond Evil, Awaken (Night and Day), Train, and many of the really well made ones in recent years. But I haven’t been in the head space the last few months so even though the upcoming SBS Fri-Sat drama … Continue reading →
The Dodgers and the Padres have been playing the season opener in South Korea as part of the MLB international marketing efforts creating this Seoul Series. South Korean baseball player Kim Ha Seong plays for the Padres and everyone is watching for the debut of mega Japanese star Shohei Ohtani in Blue. But a lot of attention at the game … Continue reading →
SBS is prepping a new thriller crime drama dealing with the dark side of human nature. The drama is called Connection (not to be confused with Disney+ drama Connect) and will likely star Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do in a fantastic pairing of top veteran leads. The story revolves around a huge 5 billion inheritance left by a former … Continue reading →
If this turns into another Kairos I’m good with it, objectively that was one of the best dramas in 2021 albeit super low rated and the same PD is behind Adamas and so far it’s not a promising start. The thriller investigative drama premiered last week but most of South Korea is in an Extraordinary Attorney Woo collective euphoria so … Continue reading →
Okay, this is totally the handiwork of the Kairos PD! Like, it has all the trappings of being just as awesome with a different twisty story. The new preview out is da bomb, so sleek and yet thrumming with just below the surface emotion. Ji Sung plays twin brothers (a walk in the park for him) investigating a decades old … Continue reading →
When there are twins in a drama its typical to style them differently but Ji Sung as twin brothers in Adamas just switches clothes lol. New stills and an action suspense laden new preview is out and the drama is giving off a weird secretive world of rich and powerful people vibes. Seo Ji Hye is framed as the rich … Continue reading →
When I saw the first poster and preview for upcoming tvN drama Adamas, it suddenly reminded me of the fantastic J-dorama Ourorboros. It stems from the use of an ancient figure, the Ouroboros is both Egyptian and Greek and Adamas is a Trojan War character, and from the collaboration of two guys to solve a decades old murder and uncover … Continue reading →
First half 2022 K-dramas are all done and now it’s time to look forward to the second half of the year projects that are on the horizon. tvN thriller Adamas is definitely one of those a high profile dramas with Ji Sung as the leading man and Seo Ji Hye and Lee Soo Kyung as his leading ladies. He plays … Continue reading →
Wow, talk about a stellar combo all around! New casting news midweek to shake up the joint as tvN announced that it has cast Ji Sung in a drama scheduled for 2022 that once again stretches his versatility. The drama is called Adamas and Ji Sung will be playing twin brothers searching for the hidden secret into their dad’s murder … Continue reading →
I would pick a crash and burn over just a meh project, at least when it comes to K-drama since the former is memorable and the latter part of the scrum of dramas that come and go. tvN this weekend saw the end of The Devil Judge (Demon Judge), totally primed for ratings and buzz thanks to the cast of … Continue reading →
Sorry for not writing about recently premiered tvN drama The Devil Judge (Demon Judge) until now. I am way more interested in this drama from Ji Sung than I was in his wifey and also my darling Lee Bo Young‘s Mine which preceded this because nothing turns me off faster than rich people family makjang. But I didn’t love episode … Continue reading →
