Well this is as bizarre of a K-drama lead casting pairing as any that can be conjured up haha. Nothing good or bad, just random. K-ent is reporting that Ha Ji Won and Kim Min Kyu have been offered the leads in an upcoming tvN drama titled Affair Hunters. That’s the entirety of the news article, no brief synopsis of … Continue reading →
This seems like a really light drama for the tvN Wed-Thurs time slot but it’s definitely serving so ridiculous it’s potentially good vibes. The first promos are here for Holy Idol (formerly called Pontifex Lembrary – the name of the male lead when he’s a god) based on a web novel that brings together fantasy and K-pop in a mashup. … Continue reading →
This totally seems like a drama vehicle geared towards promoting K-actor Kim Min Kyu and I have no problem with that. I do worry its on the lightweight side and perhaps he needs more serious heavier works to cement his acting skills before enlisting for the military. But then again, well done comedy is absolutely a showcase for acting and … Continue reading →
I’m the type to get things done as early as possible especially things that are not fun but still need to get it over with. If I were a dude in South Korea I would enlist as early as possible but for entertainers it’s definitely a shot in the dark either way. Enlist early and start the arduous star road … Continue reading →

It’s definitely not lugubrious at a dinosaur pace, whenever there is a breakout or even the inklings of on the casting agents descend from both film to print. A Business Proposal delivered second male lead Kim Min Kyu the exposure he’s been missing until now and the … Continue reading →
Breakouts happen in K-drama land only when the right actor/actress meets the right role, it’s tough and I appreciate it moreso because it introduces me to someone I may not have noticed otherwise. The latest breakout is Kim Min Kyu thanks to SBS drama A Business Proposal, he was the least famous of the four leads so definitely got a … Continue reading →
The latest episode 8 of A Business Proposal wasn’t as snappy and uproariously charming as episode 7 but it maintained the high energy and movement forward. This episode also went back up over 10% in ratings to a new high of 10.8% and it’s well deserved because Ahn Hyo Seob is really much better in these two episodes which makes … Continue reading →
The new Mon-Tues SBS drama A Business Proposal (Office Blind Date) arrived this week and its reception was as expected the same degree as the drama hewed close to the webtoon its adapted from. The first episode got 4.9% AGB nationwide ratings and the second episode went up to 6.5%. Since this is airing on SBS the ratings are not … Continue reading →
Seeing the just dropped suite of drama posters for upcoming SBS romance A Business Proposal (Office Blind Date) makes it actually seem cute in a derpy way. The adherence to the webtoon visuals was clearly the marching orders and while the OTP on with Kim Se Jung and Ahn Hyo Seob looked really flat and unappealing, the rest are actually … Continue reading →
