It’s like a one-two punch of good casting news with this upcoming sageuk drama! A day after Kang Tae Oh was announced as the male lead of The Moon Flows Over the River, his female lead has been revealed as likely Kim Se Jung who has received the offer. It’s not one of the two Kims I was thinking about … Continue reading →
Keeping expectations low is the name of the game for me when it comes to upcoming November K-drama Brewing Love. I enjoy both leads Kim Se Jung and Lee Jong Won but remain easily disappointed with K-drama rom-com plots these days. But then I remember how Kim Se Jung hit it out of the part with A Business Proposal and … Continue reading →
Small cable network ENA remains a gem in terms of underrated surprises, it’s not consistently delivering winners but is always worth checking out when a new drama premieres and the premise is up my alley. I’m locked in for the November 2024 release of Drunken Romance because I adore leads Kim Se Jung and Lee Jong Won, and bonus points … Continue reading →
Oooooh I love this pairing and this drama set up! K-ent is reporting that Lee Jong Won and Kim Se Jung are the leads for an upcoming rom-com drama titled In the Name of Alcohol. She’s an executive for a spirits distribution company and he’s a craft beer brewer, and of course she’s going to be all business and he’s … Continue reading →
tvN weekend drama The Uncanny Counter 2 is only slated for 12-episodes and with this weekend through episode 8 with ratings in the 3-4% range it’s clear this is not the hit the first season was in 2021. The concern that male lead Jo Byung Kyu‘s bullying allegation with its unconclusive resolution would affect the ratings led to the current … Continue reading →
So while I was getting my final spooky dose of Revenant fill yesterday with the final episode airing on SBS, over on tvN the network premiered The Uncanny Counter 2 taking over for See You in My 19th Life. This second season was highly anticipated when the original wrapped with over 10% ratings on OCN and even moved to the … Continue reading →
The original The Uncanny Counter was the unexpected ratings hit in late 2020 marking one of smaller cable network OCN‘s biggest wins. It was scheduled for a season 2 right away but then got delayed after male lead Jo Byung Gyu got accused of a school yard bullying scandal which has since been handled as the first accuser recanted. The … Continue reading →
A lot of Year End Awards thunder was stolen thanks to MBC doing theirs the night before and Lee Jong Seok winning the Daesang where he thanked a special someone who turned out to be real life girlfriend IU. Like, that’s drama writing in a K-ent themed drama haha. New Year’s Eve saw SBS which had the most hits hold … Continue reading →
It’s 0-1 right now with the post A Business Proposal drama successes for the four leads who all benefited from the hit series. Kim Se Jung was first out of the gate with Today’s Webtoon and it’s one drama that I’ve heard really mixed reviews about in substantive ways. Those who don’t like it explain clearly why it’s a lackluster … Continue reading →
The currently airing SBS Fri-Sat drama Today’s Webtoon is now officially the lowest rated drama in the network time slot for 2022, with the low of 1.5% and the high of 4.1% when it premiered. It’s averaging in the 2% range and K-ent is saying that even Kim Se Jung can’t bring in ratings for this drama despite her streak … Continue reading →
I feel bad for these two dramas which actually both look good and create counter programming so something for different tastes. But with Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo dominating across the board in buzz it almost feels like these two new premieres aren’t getting as much attention as it would have normally. New MBC Fri-Sat drama is Big Mouth with … Continue reading →
Holy heck this is too cute not to share. K-actress Kim Se Jung rolled from A Business Proposal right into filming her next drama Today’s Webtoon before she can even fully bask in the success of that unexpectedly delightful rom-com confection. Lucky she took some of the happy connections with her as this week she received a coffee truck support … Continue reading →
The first stills are out for SBS July 2022 Fri-Sat drama Today’s Webtoon, adapted from the Japanese manga Juhan Shuttai which was turned into J-dorama Sleeeper Hit.
