One of the more entertaining movies I watched in 2022 was TW horror-comedy Marry My Dead Body, which I checked out for Greg Hsu (Hsu Guang Han) and the premise but left with a new appreciation for second male lead Austin Lin (Lim Bo Hong). It was a brilliant casting of the two very similar looking actors in straight/gay and alive/dead conundrum and also a decent script to stitch it all together. Greg Hsu has been popular in Korean since his drama Someday or One Day and has ventured over there for activities in the last few years but now Austin is following suit. He’s been cast in the K-movie Sad Tropics with Kim Myung Kim, Park Sung Hoon, and Lee Shin Young, and is not the same movie that later became The Childe when it had the first title. The movie has already started filming with an expected late 2025 premiere date.

Oh man this sounds potentially amazingly entertaining. A new K-drama is coming that will make K-actress Choi Ji Woo‘s return to acting after a few year’s hiatus post marriage and having a baby, though she had a few cameos. The … Continue reading
Ratings in the 4-5% for jTBC cable drama isn’t bad at all but for the fact that the drama cost like multiples what the network spends compared to its usual fare so then that type of reception is less than … Continue reading
I’m having a hard time thinking of another K-drama actress with as many romance dramas under belt as Park Min Young AND has also delivered performances that generated strong chemistry with her male lead(s). In some dramas she even sparks … Continue reading
This looks like the perfect movie for long flights, the kind of mindless and hopefully fun entertainment to help pass two hours quickly. Next week is the premiere of K-movie Monstrum with Kim Myung Min as a Joseon government official … Continue reading

This sounds like a potentially fun new K-movie in the works, even if the casting keeps with the current trend of pairing together an established critically acclaimed veteran with a popular young thing still learning the acting ropes. Girl’s Day‘s … Continue reading
SBS is getting a lot more buzz on the Wed-Thurs time slot with Yongpal, but Mrs. Cop on Mon-Tues is also leading the ratings against its competition. Hopefully the buzz will come back once Mrs. Cop ends this week and … Continue reading
Now this is what I’m talking about when I ask for an intense drama to live up to it’s visual awareness. More often than not drama productions produce posters that are merely serviceable and do nothing in service of selling … Continue reading
SBS promised me Six Flying Dragons, but from the completed set of drama stills of all the leading men I only count five. Which leads me to assume Shin Se Kyung‘s female lead is the sole lady of the bunch … Continue reading
SBS doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to sageuks, with rival network MBC always putting out at least one long sageuk a year and KBS doing well with shorter and buzzier fusion sageuks. Keeping that in mind, … Continue reading
In less than 24-hours, SBS has declared a serious intention to make a sageuk statement this year. The network has started preparing for upcoming 50-episode long sageuk Six Dragons Flying by first making waves with the casting. The first named … Continue reading
I love Kim Myung Min’s acting and in dramas alone he’s tackled so many indelible archetypes and made each on completely different. It’s high time he’s played a lawyer and tomorrow MBC premieres it’s transformed-man-legal-drama A New Leaf (Repentance). Co-starring … Continue reading
