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 →
This could be a big year for Disney+, what with Netflix hit or miss these days, terrestrial channels still struggling, and big cable like tvN and jTBC also not consistently producing hits. Last year the streaming platform hosted the leads of its biggest on deck dramas to Singapore for a media event and this week released new official shots of … Continue reading →
In a real casting way and in a meta casting way, this is about as good as I can hope for with the drama adaptation of webtoon Remarried Empress coming along. This week there is news that Joo Ji Hoon is in talks to play Emperor Sovieshu, the male lead antagonist of the drama, or shall we say the BIGGEST … Continue reading →
Joo Ji Hoon has turned into the hardest working actor in K-ent these days, he as one currently airing drama, another one about to air, and now is in talks for his next one. The political thriller K-drama Climax announced it’s likely cast today and the leads are Joo Ji Hoon with Ha Ji Won. They played a married couple … Continue reading →
I don’t know if this drama will be a hit when it’s all done but this is definitely a very promising sign. This weekend tvN released rom-com Love Your Enemy with Joo Ji Hoon and Jung Yumi, taking over from Jeonghyeon: A Star is Born. I legit had zero interest in this drama but judging from the ratings am inclined … Continue reading →
Netflix has announced a new medical K-drama likely airing in 2024. It’s called The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call and is adapted from the same name novel and webtoon. The drama will be led by Joo Ji Hoon with his full cast of trauma center doctors including Choo Yeong Woo, Yoon Kyung Ho, Ha Young, and Jeong Jae Kwang. The … Continue reading →
I feel like this is old school casting and in a good way. Han Hyo Joo has been offered the female lead in 2023 sci-fi drama Dominant Species (Dominion) which would pair her with Joo Ji Hoon who has been cast as the male lead. I mention old school because they basically debuted the exact same time in the mid-2000 … Continue reading →
