There is an upcoming sageuk coming in April that I’m planning to watch but not wildly excited about (yet). SBS will premiere The Haunted Palace (Gwigong) on April 18th in the Fri-Sat time slot and it has a fantasy/supernatural element in it. Male lead Yook Sung Jae gets possessed by an Imoogi, a Korean fantasy dragon/serpant/giant snake creature in folklore … Continue reading →

Sooooooo this looks like either an epic fail or a wildly unexpected surprise. Netflix just dropped the first preview for rom-com K-drama Love to Hate You and I’m just perplexed my entire way through it. Each beat is plucked from all previous antagonist to lovers rom-com capers from contract dating to opposites attract but it’s the starring of Yoo Teo … Continue reading →

The Netflix production wagon continues into 2022 and one of the dramas on the slate is a opposites attract modern romance called Love Battle.

The 2021 Baeksang Arts Award nominations came out five days ago but I didn’t have a chance to write about it since the news was overshadowed by the hullabaloo that was the production of MBC drama Time and things surrounding it. This year’s nominations were solid but still plenty to discuss especially with real life scandal with one nominee. The … Continue reading →
There are so many accolades deservingly heaped on recently concluded tvN drama Flower of Evil and one of them is definitely lead actor Kim Ji Hoon taking on a surprising villainous role.

There is one more week and one more episode left of Flower of Evil and I am going to miss the bloom off this incredibly assembled drama. From writing, directing, to acting, the entire piece hums strongly and despite a tiny slowdown in episodes 13-14 has now fully hit its stride in the denouement. If this drama gets awards then … Continue reading →
Wed-Thurs tvN drama Flower of Evil is in its final bloom, just two more episodes left after today’s episode 14. Truth be told the intensity has waned a bit for, lost the luster of the early Is-He-Isn’t-He mystery along with the conviction that Hyun Soo is the smartest of them all.

This is a wonderful surprise and the production is intentionally keeping it mysterious.

His role is described as integral and important to the drama and Kim Ji Hoon himself explained that it’s unlike any role he’s … Continue reading →
The return of Park Shi Hoo back to the small screen has not gone from who would cast him to a certain nonchalance that he’s getting another project. Basically K-ent made it frequent enough that now it feels normal that he’s getting yet another role, this next one on cable network TV Chosun in the legal thriller romance called Babel. … Continue reading →
