A 2026 K-drama has finalized the main cast and it’s an amalgamation of familiar faces in what sounds like a very frequent topic, i.e. politics, the law, and money and power in South Korea. Cable network ENA has confirmed the leads for the K-drama Climax and it’s a five-some of known stars. Joo Ji Hoon and Ha Ji Won are … Continue reading →
The K-drama Remarried Empress adapted from the same name webtoon is female lead centric for sure but the more interesting characters are actually the male leads. Our Empress Navier is just perfect, beautiful and wise and caring, and her only drawback is that she is bad at communicating her feelings lol. We root for her because what happened to her … Continue reading →
Hoo boy do these four K-stars look phenomenal in character for the upcoming K-drama version of webtoon Remarried Empress. Even if it’s a hot mess adaptation (and honesty the webtoon was also a hot mess to begin with) at least the visuals will be glorious and spot on. Shin Mina does regal and classy Navier beautifully and Joo Ji Hoon … Continue reading →
Oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall when this all went down this week, or perhaps it was already in the making and just announced in one fell swoop. This week the production of the K-drama Inside Men, an adaptation of the same name 2015 movie, announced that main leads Song Kang Ho, Su Ae, … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 4th annual Blue Dragon Series Awards, the television offshoot of the prestigious Blue Dragon Film Awards, with only online streaming K-dramas and shows eligible. The winners were mostly the same names as the Baeksang Awards two months ago in May, with the differences being some of the Baeksang winners were for cable and terrestrial shows thus … Continue reading →
The cast has been assembled and what’s left is to see how exactly a live action K-drama version of manhwa Remarried Empress will turn out. The over/under on hot mess versus unexpectedly compelling starts now. That it could even be good comes from a strong and very famous foursome cast of Shin Mina, Lee Jong Seok, Joo Ji Hoon, and … Continue reading →
I love getting a peek into any voting process (let me inside Conclave!) and for the 2025 Baeksang Awards the judges are revealing the votes behind the scenes. For the Best Actor and Best Actress, the most coveted for the acting industry, it was not what I was thinking behind the scenes. Kim Tae Ri was near unanimous in getting … Continue reading →
So this is both a surprise and not a surprise, I think anyone of the five nominees in both the television side best actor and best actress categories could win but the winners were not who I thought would win. Joo Ji Hoon won Best Actor for Trauma Code: Heroes on Call while Kim Tae Ri became a two-time television … Continue reading →
With so much distraction the last few weeks in K-ent it’s nice to get back to regular business and none bigger than the 2025 Baeksang Awards nominations which came out this week. On the drama side, When Life You You Tangerines led the pack with the most nominations across Best Drama, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, … Continue reading →
Now I’m more nervous than excited with the confirmation of the cast and the commencement of filming. The K-drama adaptation of webtoon Remarried Empress can be either fun and different or a total hot mess lol. It will air on Disney+ which seems like a match made in heaven what with the royalty theme but of course toss in a … Continue reading →
So this is really happening and with this main foursome cast, I never could have fantasy cast this lol. K-ent is reporting that the K-drama adaptation of webtoon Remarried Empress will air on Disney+ and is slated to be a 10-episode drama. Please drop it all at once Disney+ rather than one episode or a few episodes a week, pretty … Continue reading →
Dang, the Joo Ji Hoon method really did pay off. And by that I mean star in as many dramas as he can possibly/physically film and one of them is bound to be a hit thanks to the law of probability. Lol, I’m kidding of course but his medical K-drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call has absolutely paid off … Continue reading →
K-actor Joo Ji Hoon went on a tear in 2024 with three released K-dramas in Blood Free and Light Shop both on Disney+, and Love Your Enemy which aired on tvN. He’s continuing his drama stream to start 2025 with the release of The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call exclusively on Netflix. It’s actually called Season 1 so I know … Continue reading →
