I do love me some old school casting and these two totally have the potential to be adorbs onscreen. Of course I say that often but then the script and characterization is terrible and even good chemistry can’t save a drama lol. But let’s start with optimism and I’m excited to hear that Jung Hae In and Shin Se Kyung … Continue reading →
It’s a sign that Netflix original K-drama Trauma Code: Heroes on Call is such a huge hit that the female lead in mere weeks is in talks for a high profile drama female lead role. Casting news says Jung Hae In and Ha Young are both in discussion for an upcoming romance or rom-com K-drama tentatively titled This Sucky Love … Continue reading →

This weekend was the 2024 Blue Dragon Film Awards held in Seoul and all the big movie stars were out and about, including one who recently had quite a paternity scandal haha. The big winners were the movie 12.12: The Day (Seoul Spring) winning Best Picture but Best Director went to Exhuma director Jang Hae Hyun so the two movies basically … Continue reading →
So with the good reception for K-drama What Comes After Love pairing K-actress Lee Se Young with J-actor Sakaguchi Kentaro, next up may be Jung Hae In heading over to J-dorama land opposite a J-actress. News reports says he’s in talks for a J-dorama and somehow his whole vibe fits it so well. In fact, One Spring Day is basically … Continue reading →
I guess its not time yet for K-actor Jung Hae In to start afresh when it comes to his representation. Right after his last drama Love Next Door finished airing came news that he was renewing or re signing his contract with long time agency FNC Entertainment. He feels the agency has treated him well and he’s very loyal among … Continue reading →
The experience of watching Love Next Door for me was a frustrating one so having it end this weekend felt like a release of sorts. Now I don’t have to keep waiting each week for the drama to get better as a whole while accepting the little nuggets of satisfying moments and scenes strung between filler. One thing tvN did … Continue reading →
I haven’t written about tvN weekend drama Love Next Door the last few weeks because I did check out from full watching after the narratively frustrating first half of the drama, and the inconsistent chemistry of leads Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, which to date I can’t figure out if it’s their natural chemistry issue or their acting … Continue reading →
I have been through this so many times before that Pepperidge Farm Remembers and I will not fall for this OTP manipulation in real life to buoy a lackluster drama. But then again, if this is true then it would be the best thing to come out of tvN drama Love Next Door. This week K-ent is reporting that leads … Continue reading →
So apparently I do have my limited for watching two stars I love in a genre I love if the story and characters are just that frustrating. Such is the case for Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min which hit midway in airing this weekend, with ratings hitting new lows of 3% on Saturday’s episode … Continue reading →
There isn’t a lot of story per se with tvN drama Love Next Door, so it rests on the characterizations, interactions, and chemistry. And so far 4-episodes in it’s still a mixed bag for me. I want desperately to love it and find myself working hard to merely like it, if the leads weren’t Jung Hae In and Jung So … Continue reading →
This weekend was the premiere of new tvN rom-com Love Next Door (Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) and I went in with exception but also tempered expectations. Starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, the drama started with 4.899% and went up to 5.977% in episode 2 so that is a good sign. I watched the first two episodes and … Continue reading →
