Okay, now I can start whipping out my collection of Oh Gong and Bu Ja pictures from Hwayugi (A Korean Odyssey). I can still remember writing about the amazing chemistry between Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young and wishing they were leads in a drama together. It’s taken 5 years but now they are confirmed for legal drama Love … Continue reading →
I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →
MBC has been very weak in the Wed-Thurs slot for quite some time but the last drama Extraordinary You was one of the extraordinarily low rated ones despite the younger skewing cult fan base. This week comes People With Flaws (Love With Flaws) which is geared towards adults trying to navigate the tricky social life of work and love. Starring … Continue reading →
The premise of MBC drama People With Flaws is solely predicated on the acting and chemistry. It’s basically opposites attract and insert profession/situation/coincidence to bring them together. I don’t know how the mixture of Ahn Jae Hyun and Oh Yeon Seo will turn out but he underacts and she overacts so maybe together they will be just right. I’m more … Continue reading →
A drama is the work of tens if not hundreds of people, with the high profile cast only the tip of the iceberg. I hope the recent tabloid glare on male lead Ahn Jae Hyun doesn’t negatively impact his upcoming MBC drama People With Flaws costarring Oh Yeon Seo. It actually sounds kinda stupid in concept – a woman who … Continue reading →
Just because KBS is the ratings pits all year doesn’t mean it can’t throw a fun awards party and reward the acting talent that has attempted to infuse some excitement and life into the network’s drama. Things were going swimmingly at the 2015 KBS Drama Awards until the biggest award of the night, whereby KBS manage to split the baby … Continue reading →
I’m quite looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat night spiritual possession romantic comedy Oh My Ghost. It’s the first horror-tinged K-drama this year and airing a bit earlier than the usual lunar new year 8th month of ghost month, which usually falls around mid-July through early-August. This one looks less scary and more melancholy, with both female leads Park Bo Young and … Continue reading →
I’m really looking forward to upcoming tvN Fri-Sat drama Oh My Ghost with a low key anticipation, which is the best attitude to have these days when it comes to dramas mostly being a disappointment. I’m a little tired of judging whether dramas are qualitatively good or not, which is also subjective, I just want a drama to hook me … Continue reading →
I can’t help getting my hopes up for upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost even if my better judgment tells me to simmer down. The drama came out of nowhere, since it wasn’t one of those rumored productions from months earlier, yet it quickly rocketed up my to-watch list thanks to the strength of the cast alone. Starring Jo Jung … Continue reading →
There’s more casting news on the drama front and for ease of discussion I’ve combined it into one post even if it pertains to separate dramas. Most of the casting news is around upcoming SBS epic sageuk Six Dragons Flying which keeps adding to its sprawling cast, with big names like Kim Myung Min and Yoo Ah In in talks already. … Continue reading →
I posted two weeks ago about the nominees for the 2014 APAN Star Awards and how some choices were pretty legit while others strangely unfathomable. Pretty much the usual when it comes to acting awards in Korean drama entertainment. Last night the ceremony was held and this time I totally approve as Jo In Sung walked away with the Daesang … Continue reading →
You would think with a string of disappointing Mon-Tues K-dramas from KBS I would be supremely reluctant to get excited about the upcoming Discovery of Love. It follows the disaster that was Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers), memorable only for Jung Eun Ji and some snappy trot covers, but it also comes from the production team with a track history … Continue reading →
It’s such a treat to be dealt an unexpected surprise. There was a teaser for the upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Discovery of Love appended to the end of Monday’s episode of Lovers of Music (Trot Lovers) and it was the best thing about that entire episode. That drama cannot end early enough for me, and now with how delightful DoL … Continue reading →
