Every time I see the title of tvN sageuk Inspector Joy I read it as Inspector Gadget which totally dates me but ah those were the idyllic times of after school cartoons. A good hearted bumbling inspector is what I also expect from this sageuk which combines Taecyeon as the titular inspector and Kim Hye Yoon as a woman named … Continue reading →
Okay, this could actually work, because it’s a sageuk that’s definitely not trying to be on the traditional path. And that non-traditional element allows male lead Taecyeon, who is beyond modern man in the vibe he gives off and lacks any of the sageuk gravitas per usual, to work this character. In upcoming tvN sageuk Inspector Joy (Tale of Secret … Continue reading →
Remember when I said the upcoming fall/winter season was going to be sageuk Heaven? It’s coming fast and furious – we have Lovers of the Red Sky airing, then comes The King’s Affection (Yeonmo) in October, followed by The Red Sleeve Cuff and also Secret Royal Inspector and Jo Yi in November. The weather is getting cold but we’re getting … Continue reading →
The K-netizens GIF abilities and great pairing intuition once again delivers a treat for the eyes and food for thought. A new post circulating shares more potential K-drama pairings, mostly modern drama styles, that the netizens think need to work together because it’s bound to be awesome.

Awwww, this wasn’t the cast original set out and isn’t the one that I would have preferred. Upcoming sageuk drama Secret Royal Inspector and Jo Yi was originally set to star Jo Byung Gyu after his breakout hit with The Uncanny Counter but he stepped aside after the bullying allegations against him from his school age days continued unabated. He … Continue reading →
jTBC is on the defensive but not backing down to the netizen furor over its upcoming drama Snowdrop, which let us all agree on hasn’t aired yet so what the drama is fully about no one knows other than the production. After Joseon Exorcist was excoriated for demeaning King Taejong by fictionally portraying him as slaughtering citizens after hallucinating they … Continue reading →
I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →
Not all cameos and guest appearances are equal in creativity and memorability and this one ranks on the very top. Kim Hye Yoon and her second male lead Lee Jae Wook from the cult hit K-drama Extraordinary You paid a visit to their drama PD who is directing True Beauty and gifted him with a super meta scene to be … Continue reading →
I had heard the 2020 Asia Artist Awards may be postponed due to COVID-19 increasing in South Korea but it went on this weekend, without an audience but actually really nice to see many popular stars taking the time to attend and accept their awards in person. I usually critique the red carpet outfits but I could care less, just … Continue reading →
I thought K-actress Kim Hye Yoon would be a lot more active this year in 2020, after her two breakout roles the prior year with Sky Castle then Extraordinary You. She does have a K-drama lined up with next year’s Snowdrop but she’s the second female lead with Ji Soo and Jung Hae In, and now her fans will have … Continue reading →
I figured the awards circuit was going to be toast this fall season but the upcoming 2020 Asia Artist Awards held on November 25th will certainly be worth checking out. The awards body released the names of the expected actor and actress attendees and it’s star-studded for sure with successful veterans and up-and-comers. Attending will be Kim Soo Hyun, Lee … Continue reading →

There have been lots of names attached so far so let’s get with the confirmation: Jung … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN drama Record of Youth already has a big name cast with Park Bo Gum and Park So Dam as the leads plus up and coming Byun Woo Seok.
