This Wednesday is the arrival of highly promoted SBS pre-produced drama While You Were Sleeping, teaming up for the third time screenwriter Park Hye Ryun with her most often used male lead Lee Jong Seok. Even if this drama is a hit I think this ought to be it for these two, Park Hye Ryun has had a good run … Continue reading →
September is here which means the countdown to the arrival of SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping is less than 30 days away. This is one pre-filmed drama that I’ve been following along with consistently since it was announced earlier this year, solely for male lead Lee Jong Seok and also his third reunion working with screenwriter Park Hye … Continue reading →
Now that Reunited Worlds has premiered on the SBS Wed-Thurs time slot it means the pre-filmed While You Were Sleeping is on deck. The drama will take over from Reunited Worlds in early September and with it show whether screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High can create another memorable work.

I found the early stylish teasers a fail for not being stylish enough to win on … Continue reading →
A second batch of official posters arrived this weekend for Three Musketeers and are significantly better than the pictures that appeared on the official website pages. Those looked like something produced in the basement by a bored and lazy first year graphic design student in community college. Dull and uninspired, the whole thing was further tossed in a dreary dressing … Continue reading →
I’m not a fan of heavily photo-shopped posters whether it’s making edits to the person or editing different people onto the same shot. That’s why the first official poster for Three Musketeers is a thumbs down for me in style.

I finally have a cannot miss reason to watch Three Musketeers! Two more video teasers came out featuring Yang Dong Gun and Jung Hae In and wowsers did these two knock my socks off the way the first two with Lee Jin Wook and Jung Yong Hwa totally underwhelmed. To balance things out tvN also released new stills of Lee … Continue reading →
