The Wed-Thurs drama timeslot used to be THE most prestigious in K-ent with the highest ratings and the most viewers. But in the last few years the prime time networks have actually stopped their Wed-Thurs dramas due to the general ratings drop across the board and now tvN is joining the party. The cable network will stop airing dramas on Wed-Thurs after the end of currently airing Stealer: The Treasure Keeper with Joo Won. The drama is getting 3% cable ratings not terrible or good but I don’t think this drama led to tvN making the decision but the general feel that drama audiences are not watching on Wed-Thurs nights anymore. Maybe going out more who knows. Sad to see this one vaunted time slot discontinued nearly across the board.

So this drama is actually premiering next week on April 12th in the Wed-Thurs time slot on tvN taking over for The Holy Idol and holy moly it came out of nowhere for me. The drama is Stealer: The Treasure … Continue reading
If you’re allergic to Joo Won (I used to be!) or dislike angry bloodied men with a gun this this is clearly NOT for you. But for the rest of us it’s like the logical next step after Joo Won … Continue reading
I thought one mediocre Joseon prohibition era drama this year was one too many already but now there is a second one coming. Earlier this year I was totally underwhelmed with Moonshine (Thinking of the Moon When the Flowers Bloom) … Continue reading
I wonder if I lived too long to see a concept and immediate associate with it something very similar. Netflix has started filming for its original programming K-movie Carter starring Joo Won and Lee Sung Jae. The story is about … Continue reading
The 2020 SBS Drama Awards are in the bag and boy was it a stuffed bag. The stars didn’t do the red carpet, only hosts Kim Yoo Jung and Shin Dong Yeop was masked and met the media. The attendees … Continue reading
The year isn’t over just yet, but it’s certainly countdown time as Christmas is both that magical holiday and the one that starts the single digit trek towards new year’s day. Christmas 2020 will either be business as usual for … Continue reading
I don’t think any K-drama has fallen apart as hard and as hard to watch (because I love it so much) as SBS Fri-Sat sci-fi drama Alice. A dissertation could be written on it but that would be giving it … Continue reading
Yeah, I freaking hate SBS drama Alice and definitely regret spending 16 episodes with it. The upside is learning to love male lead Joo Won, re-energizing my love for Kwak Si Yang, and meeting fresh face Lee Da In as … Continue reading
I won’t regret watching SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice despite its horrific levels of insanity and shark jumping in the last few episodes but goodness is this going down in flames. This Friday’s episode 15 just had me laughing and making … Continue reading
SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice would have benefited so much from airing on OCN and being a tight 12-episodes like Train. I’m making this conclusion even though it’s not finished yet because the last few episodes have felt like much ado … Continue reading
I’m still on the fence on whether the best thing about SBS fantasy time travel drama Alice is Joo Won or second male lead Kwak Shi Yang. It’s not a diss on Joo Won because he’s been incredibly on point … Continue reading
Until I watched K-dramas I never realized an entire population would be captivated by a physical trait known as “small face”. Like, what? Years later it’s clear that having a small face remains frequently used in netizen comments and even … Continue reading
