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. Starring Kim Se Jung, Nam Yoon Soo, and Daniel Choi, it centers around the workplace of a webtoon publisher and deals with the growth of the characters through the tribulations of publishing a … Continue reading →
It’s strike while the iron’s hot and buzzy young leading lady Kim Se Jung is already filming her next drama after the surprise rom-com hit A Business Proposal. She’s sticking with SBS as well which has confirmed the airing of Today’s Webtoon, a remake of the J-dorama Sleepeeer Hit! which is adapted from a manga. It’s a workplace drama with … Continue reading →
I knew it wasn’t just me that so many articles I write in the last year or so keep including the same stars frequently. A recent K-ent post (article click here) discusses what is going on right now – there are so many K-dramas in production due to the new popularity on Netflix, more streaming sites getting into producing their … Continue reading →
Okay this casting sounds a lot more aligned with the original work. K-ent is reporting that Daniel Choi is in talks to be the male lead in the upcoming K-drama remake of J-dorama Tomorrow’s Webtoon. It’s already confirmed to star Kim Se Jung who is coming off two successful dramas in a row with The Uncanny Counter and now A … Continue reading →
Against all odds, SBS Mon-Tues drama A Business Proposal has been the shining-est student on the block for 2022 dramas so far. Contentious casting choices, terribly flat drama posters, all of it was just pre-premiere detritus now as the actual drama was just wonderful out of the gate and stayed that way throughout. Bravo to pulling off a daunting feat … Continue reading →
I can’t believe there is only two more episodes left of A Business Proposal! Next week is the finale already and the fantastic sharp pacing of this drama is because of it’s shorter 12-episode length but then it leaves fans like me sad to see it end so soon. Episode 10 was wonderful in every way – the car chase, … Continue reading →
Well this could be considered an upgrade or downgrade for K-actress Kim Se Jung, but my feeling is that she likes challenging herself and being versatile so this looks like a great project. Kim Se Jung will be headlining the second half of 2022 K-drama Today’s Webtoon, which is a remake of the 2016 J-dorama Juhan Shuttai which was adapted … 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 →
It’s confetti in the air time to celebrate a momentum achievement thanks to the little rom-com that could. SBS Mon-Tues drama A Business Proposal accomplished a new feat this Tuesday as episode 6 hit 10.1% ratings, and a primetime drama doing double digits these days is a rare bird. This week’s episodes 5-6 were so funny, better than last week’s … Continue reading →
