I’ve seen folks asking about the 2022 Netflix produced K-dramas and there hasn’t been that many announced yet. So here’s one more to start expanding that short list – Netflix is producing the 12-episode K-drama Celebrity which is called a social and psychological thriller about fame. It will star Lee Chung Ah, Park Kyu Young, Jeon Hyeseong, and Kang Min … Continue reading →
There are many levels and nuances to “bad”, which is why its such a great adjective with contextual flourish. Recently wrapped MBC Wed-Thurs drama Oh My Ladylord (Oh! Master) has now garnered widespread feedback as a terrible, no good, baaaaaad drama. But what kind of bad is it is what I, a non-viewer, am curious to know. So bad it’s … Continue reading →
It’s hard to get consensus these days but everywhere I look there appears to be the same opinion about MBC drama Oh My Ladylord (Oh! Master), which is that it sucks so so bad. From K-netizens to I-viewers to C-watchers, the drama starring Lee Min Ki, Nana, and Kang Min Hyuk was never primed to rake in high ratings but … Continue reading →
MBC took a break in the Wed-Thurs time slot after The Spies Who Loved Me but next month in March will premiere a new drama called Oh My Ladylord (Oh! Master). I hate the title lol but the cast is promising with leads Lee Min Ki, Nana, and Kang Min Hyuk. However the premise sounds so much like a prior … Continue reading →
I have Kakao TV drama City Couple Way of Love all collected and ready to watch on a casual weekend. The first two episodes I watched didn’t really hook me but was also not bad so I just need to be in the mood for a marathon. That drama wrapped this Tuesday and next week will be the new drama … Continue reading →
With the fate of his band CNBLUE up in the air due to recent scandals, Kang Min Hyuk returned from two years in the military this past March 2020 and will look in the other avenue of his career prospects. He is reportedly going to star in the Kakao streaming drama Not Used to Thirty Yet and OMG that’s such … Continue reading →
If I had my way all boy band members would enlist at the same time and keep their group careers on the same time line. For CNBlue band mates Kang Min Hyuk and Lee Jung Shin, they are doing that as both sign in for military service on July 31, 2018, a few months after lead Jung Yong Hwa enlisted. … Continue reading →
It’s 2018 but feels like many hideous fashion moments through the decades made it’s incongruous return this week via the 2018 Seoul Fashion Shows. Normally stylish Gong Hyo Jin attended two shows and she was the least horribly decked out among many of her fellow star attendees, and the outfit above is just dorky more than anything. Some fashion elements … Continue reading →
The press conference for premiering this week Wed-Thurs MBC K-drama Hospital Ship went off without a hitch, if one was looking for a very young college professor proudly introducing her graduating class of seniors to enter the real world. I love Ha Ji Won to pieces but she’s looking so fish out of water in real life next to her … Continue reading →
After MBC‘s tonally insensitive start for the most recent Wed-Thurs drama The Man Who Dies to Live, which premiered at the top of the ratings for that time slot and kept the lead to the end, there isn’t much Hospital Ship can do to top that shaky launch. It is lucky in that KBS is failing miserably with Manhole and … Continue reading →
Whether Hospital Ship sinks or sails will rest of Ha Ji Won‘s shoulders, much as I am loathe to put so much pressure on her. If the writing sucks I will feel like she let herself down by picking this drama, and if the casting and the youngsters around her don’t deliver then she stumbled in not being able to … Continue reading →
I have solid if uninspiring hopes for upcoming MBC medical drama Hospital Ship, one that rises and falls but never falls through the hopeless trap door just yet. Unfortunately the dings are the cast members other than female lead Ha Ji Won along with medical dramas not being MBC’s forte, that would be where SBS has a nice foothold. But … Continue reading →
The unveiling is here for the maiden voyage of MBC‘s Hospital Ship, taking the ever popular medical K-drama genre and plopping it on the ocean with pit stops at port cities and remote islands. While SBS has been having lots of luck with medical dramas and churn them out the most, MBC hasn’t done a prime time medical drama since … Continue reading →
