Leave it to PD Ahn Pan Seok to immediately remind me why I adore his directorial hand in dramas. The first teaser for jTBC romance drama Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food softly exudes a lovely mood, at times hesitant but still very palpable. It also brings back everything positive about the noona-dongsaeng romance sub-genre, when Jung Hae In calls … Continue reading →
PD Ahn Pan Seok is such a master of setting the mood, every drama of his that I’ve watched has conveyed the central story line via a distinct mood so clearly. His last drama Heard it Through the Grapevine was gothic with a black humor infusion yet his upcoming work Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food is bright and airy … Continue reading →
I’m going to have words with the production team member who chose to release as the first still for upcoming jTBC romance drama Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food a picture where half of male lead Jung Hae In‘s face is obscured by his coffee cup. This is not a coffee CF, and definitely detracts from setting the whole tone. … Continue reading →
I already have hearts in my eyes upon seeing the first script reading stills of the leads in upcoming K-drama Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food. This is one of those rare casting choices that appear to have near universal thumbs up from netizens and who doesn’t like a smart and well-selected choice of Son Ye Jin as the pretty … Continue reading →
All eyes are now on the Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food as the drama landed a very titular pretty noona indeed. Predominately movie actress Son Ye Jin is making one of her infrequent sojourns back to drama land as the female lead for the upcoming jTBC drama with the quirky title of Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food. The … Continue reading →
Congratulations is in order for PD Shin Won Ho of the Answer Me drama series in achieving yet another drama success and one that is outside his most famous franchise. PD Shin’s latest tvN drama Wise Prison Living (Prison Playbook) is a solid success halfway through airing with every episode increasing from the last. The drama started off with 4.638% … Continue reading →
I’m not angry or upset that SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping didn’t end up meeting expectations. Unlike other K-dramas which vexed me so, this one was just placid enough I watched with increasingly detached interest and was even pleasantly surprised that the final two episodes managed to wring a tear out of me. But it was never about … Continue reading →
A lazy Sunday morning feels perfect for a chill post on While You Were Sleeping breakout star Jung Hae In, and the second runner up his onscreen corgi Robin. I like everything about WYWS good enough, but Jung Hae In is the only character and performance I love among the four leads. He’s not doing it because he’s the strongest … Continue reading →
I’m still watching SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping but with a judicious use of the FF-button and a bit of surprise that this was the penultimate week of airing. The drama ends next week and I didn’t feel any emotion probably because the leads have been in life threatening danger so many times it’s starting to be comical. … Continue reading →
Hit K-drama PD Shin Won Ho keeps making successes out of every day South Korean neighborhood and school life as he did with three Answer Me dramas for tvN in the past five years. Now he’s taking his talents to the prison world, crafting a drama described as light and humorous view of the daily life of prisoners and guards. … Continue reading →
As a relative unknown still in the K-drama world, I hope his currently well-received turn in SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping gives Jung Hae In the exposure he needs to finally bump up one more league in recognition. I’ve been a fan since his first drama Bride of the Century playing Lee Hong Ki’s younger brother, and last … Continue reading →
It’s been a good streak for me, if you consider two straight K-dramas that I love a streak. Sadly the quality of K-dramas has gone down overall in the recent years and with it comes lower expectations. So to have followed tvN drama Live Up to Your Name avidly in the end of summer rolling straight into loving SBS drama … Continue reading →
Sorry for the late post on newly arrived SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping but in between watching the first episode and then having tickets to Hamilton last night, it was a sensory and entertainment awesomeness overload. I love While You Were Sleeping, love love love it! This is the first drama since Goblin that has roped my excitement … Continue reading →
