I can’t believe there is a potential for a home run casting with the upcoming K-drama adaptation of the 2002 hugely impactful J-dorama A Million Stars Falling From the Sky (Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi and also known as The Smile Has Left Your Eyes). The original starred Kimura Takuya in his prime opposite Fukatsu Eri and tells a … Continue reading →
It’s normal for K-netizens to note when a celeb couple involves the male star heading off to military service soon. If it’s active service then the couple will only be able to see each other on furloughs and that’s naturally hard to keep the connection strong and the feeling ongoing. With that said, I sure hope the new couple of … Continue reading →
OMG, this is the cutest K-celeb dating story to break on New Year’s Day in a few days, not since the great Rain and Kim Tae Hee news of January 1, 2013 have I heard dating news that made me smile cheek to cheek. Dispatch as published pictures of actress Jung So Min and former idol turned actor Lee Joon … Continue reading →
A successful drama run these days is rarer than ever especially in the romantic comedy genre where it’s basically a unicorn. Just wrapped tvN Mon-Tues romance drama This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life), with less comedy than expected but still chuckles aplenty, held a much deserved cast drama wrap party this week as the final … Continue reading →
I spent last weekend catching up on OCN fantasy thriller procedural Black and gushing all over it, but that’s like one amazing meal compared to the consistent afternoon snack that has been sustaining me for the last five weeks in tvN rom-com This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life). Last week’s episode 10 broke 4% ratings … Continue reading →
My favorite new K-drama is here and Mon-Tues will be owned by tvN‘s cohabitation rom-com This Life is Our First. As suspected when I heard the premise and saw the first promos, this is the K-version of hit J-dorama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job or the literal translation title of Runaway is Ashamed But … Continue reading →
There’s quite a handful of new K-dramas arriving next week and the first to drop next Monday October 9th is tvN Mon-Tues rom-com This Life is Our First. The drama marks Lee Min Ki’s first drama lead return in ten years since Dalja’s Spring, whereas Jung So Min has been in a drama tear in recent years most recently with … Continue reading →
When coincidences hit a certain number is when a trend emerges and 2017 definitely smells of short hair with K-actresses. I don’t mind but this time around with the short hair trend I’m not feeling most of the looks. Idol-actress Krystal is the latest to get onboard this train and is doing it in real life and not for a … Continue reading →
The cuteness is tripled in the drama poster for upcoming tvN series This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life) when I count leads Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki before I even got to the fluffy white cat in his arms. They have adorably quirky facial expressions, hers says she scored a house to live … Continue reading →
There is a new reason in K-drama land to bring together two fated leads in onscreen cohabitation, if one is homeless and the other house poor then what perfect serendipity for them to cross paths at the park. The vibe for upcoming tvN drama This Life is Our First is totally bathed in the cable network’s light airy atmosphere, as … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas. That doesn’t mean tvN is on the downward trajectory and I hope the network continues to churn out interesting dramas without succumbing to the fallacy … Continue reading →
One is striking while the iron is hot and the other is coming back after a decade hiatus, I have high hopes this vast gulf will bring together two talented acting stars for drama magic onscreen this fall. Cable network tvN has confirmed the leads for its fall drama This Life is Our First, first with news that movie actor … Continue reading →
I’ve not watched a weekend K-drama in quite some months but upcoming KBS 50-episode weekend drama Father is Strange is luring me back with its quirky siren song. Veterans Kim Young Chul and Kim Hae Sook are the parents of a family with four grown kids who must deal with the arrival of Lee Joon’s former idol actor claiming to … Continue reading →
