The good is that Tale of Gumiho really is a mash-up of Goblin and Hotel Del Luna and in ways which correct the problems in those dramas, but the bad is the same because viewers will inevitably compare and notice many of the same tropes and the production values aren’t as sleek here. With that said, the first episode stormed … Continue reading →
I’ve been snarking on the promo posters for tvN fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho (Take of the Nine-Tailed) so it’s a nice change of opinion to be pleasantly surprised by the latest preview released by the network. It’s less purposefully moody in that cheesy way and actually has some cool scene snippets that make me interested to watch. Lee Dong … Continue reading →
I’m getting more and more disenchanted with what to expect in upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. I just…..really don’t like the sleazy-leaning vibe it’s going for with both male leads playing gumihos in Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum. One looks like he’s on the cover of a paranormal romance novel I can find in the lower shelf of … Continue reading →
I don’t know why but I totally get the Korean version of Twilight vibes from upcoming tvN drama Tale of Gumiho. From the posters to the styling of male lead Lee Dong Wook like a modern day vampire/gumiho hybrid, the drama production projects more style over substance (for now). The second poster is out and me no likey, I don’t … Continue reading →
I don’t know when we’re seeing the new dramas premiere as basically all K-drama filming has been halted now due to the sudden resurgence of COVID-19 in South Korea. With that said, anything new feels even more special and tvN released the first stills for fantasy K-drama Tale of Gumiho with leads Lee Dong Wook, Jo Boa, and Kim Bum. … Continue reading →
Normally I don’t want script readings all the time but this one totally entertained me plus I am really curious about this drama. tvN released the official script reading video and interviews with the three leads of upcoming fantasy drama Tale of Gumiho, not to be confused with My Girlfriend is a Gumiho or Gu Family Book. This tale transports … Continue reading →
I like when the male and female lead is announced in the same news week, keeps me from guessing and also feels like the production has got its act together in lining up the right actors. K-actress Jo Boa will be joining Lee Dong Wook in the 2020 fantasy romance K-drama Tale of Gumiho, currently neither is confirmed but it’s … Continue reading →
A bit lost in the recent high profile K-drama premieres is a chance for SBS to win the time slot of Mon-Tues with second chance drama My Strange Hero (Bok Soo is Back). Right now it’s not a very competitive time slot and previous drama Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) led the ratings despite a narratively that reportedly went … Continue reading →
Now that the high profile December K-drama arrivals are done with, I can go back to anticipating a potentially fun and fulfilling smaller scale drama with SBS Mon-Tues premiere of My Strange Hero (Bok Soo is Back) next week. It all about my Yoo Seung Ho obsession love and he’s on a rom-com streak lately so I’m hoping My Strange … Continue reading →
SBS finished airing Mon-Tues drama Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) this week but will have a short drama Hymn of Death before the next series arrives with My Strange Hero (Bok Soo is Back) on December 10th. I’m so looking forward to My Strange Hero with its cute second chances premise and of course male lead Yoo Seung Ho … Continue reading →
I love the title of K-drama Bok Soo is Back (Revenge is Back) for both its meanings, that male lead Bok Soo has returned to his high school and he’s back for revenge as his name also means. Starring Yoo Seung Ho, Jo Boa and Kwak Dong Yeon, the drama will take over the Mon-Tues slot after Where Stars Land … Continue reading →
The up-and-coming young K-ent actresses are slowly but surely winning me over. I guess it helps when they transition from screechy second female lead to lead who gets the guy, it’s always easier to like a well-written female lead role. First it was Chae Soo Bin in I am Not a Robot, then Seo Ye Ji in Lawless Lawyer, these … Continue reading →
The punny aspect of this K-drama is already cute enough to be in rom-com territory, and then the production made everything a million times better by casting my bae Yoo Seung Ho. He’s confirmed for upcoming SBS drama Bok Soo is Back, also called Revenge is Back since Bok Soo is how to pronounce revenge. He played a guy who … Continue reading →
