Upcoming jTBC sci-fi action drama Sisyphus: The Myth has wrapped production and all that remains is post-production video work with the drama scheduled to premiere in February 2021 in the Wed-Thurs time slot after Run On. … Continue reading →
Yes, the Queen slays and I love how she tops a poll followed by 6 men. The Joynews Korea 16th anniversary poll of the best actor/actress of 2020 is out, sampling over 200 entertainment industry professionals per the earlier poll topics. The World of the Married brought Kim Hee Ae ratings success and critical acclaim so she got 67 votes … Continue reading →
Wow, imaging winning and also leaving the first season in the dust right off the bat. This Saturday tvN premiered Secret Forest 2 (Stranger 2), the sequel to the critically acclaimed police legal procedural drama of 2018 with the same cast back led by Jo Seung Woo and Bae Doo Na. The first episode got ratings of 7.627% AGB nationwide, … Continue reading →
I need to thank Bae Doo Na for growing out her hair for the second season of hit drama Secret Forest (Stranger). For Secret Forest 2 she has long hair so it’s easy to search for stills and news and determine if its from the first or second season. Most of the cast is back along with Bae Doo Na … Continue reading →
Talk about counter-programming lol! K-ent is reporting that Lee Min Ho‘s high profile SBS drama The King: Eternal Sovereign penned by mega hit maker Kim Eun Sook and costarring Kim Go Eun will now be pushed from a March 2020 airing to a July 2020 premiere to give it more time in post-production. That means it will likely air opposite … Continue reading →
Okay, we’ll know we just have to wait and see. Days after K-ent reported that Park Shin Hye and Jo Seung Woo had been offered the leads in upcoming cable drama Sisyphus: The Myth, both have accepted. It’s a done deal so no need to sling positive or negative predictions, Jo Seung Woo will head into filming after he’s done … Continue reading →
Okay, this sounds like a promising project for Park Shin Hye, if the rumored male lead accepts she should totally do it. K-ent is reporting that Park Shin Hye has been offered the female lead in the cool sounding jTBC sci-fi suspense drama Sisyphus: The Myth. Also in talks is veteran leading man Jo Seung Woo who is heading into … Continue reading →
I feel like I can start copying and pasting from my last two drama award nomination posts since it’s the same few drama names, actors, and actresses making the list. The 2nd annual Seoul Awards assembled by Sports Seoul released the list of nominees at the end of last week and this one gives the Daesang to dramas rather than … Continue reading →
Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year. The notable names up for the Daesang … Continue reading →
It’s a cute coincidence and also a testament to the enduring success of the three actors in question. Most K-drama and K-movie fans. This weekend the Korean box office has a three-way battle for supremacy with three high profile movies premiering on Friday – The Negotiation with Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin, fortune-telling sageuk Feng Shui (Myeong Dang) with … Continue reading →
It’s a double leading man treat in upcoming sageuk movie Feng Shui (Myung Dang also known as Grave Site), the third film in a so-called trilogy of superstition films starting with The Face Reader with the second being Marital Harmony (The Princess and the Matchmaker).

This year we’ve had police K-drama Live and now comes medical K-drama Life, not to be confused though both are squarely in the two most popular drama genres.

The 2018 54th Annual Baeksang Arts Awards took place Thursday night on May 3rd in Seoul and the award winners were actually quite spot on picks for the most part. … Continue reading →
