Looks like the baton has passed from cable network tvN to jTBC for the time being, as the formerly underdog network now has two back-to-back drama hits on its hands with Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and now Man to Man. That’ll keep the interest high for the network’s upcoming drama Woman of Dignity when it premieres in June after … Continue reading →
While bromance has always been popular in movies and dramas, the doubling up of strong female leads and connections remains the outlier. Currently airing MBC drama Night Light features strong female personalities in Lee Yo Won and UEE but the drama has been low rated since its start and it’s hard to see if audiences embrace that set up. Next … Continue reading →
A girl-centric K-drama isn’t that uncommon but the double whammy of two incredible and older leading ladies headlining upcoming SBS drama Woman of Dignity is definitely worth celebrating. Starring Kim Hee Sun and Kim Sun Ah, the two Kim leading ladies bring their collective star power to start of 2017 with a story of contrasting fates – Kim Hee Sun … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up. My favorite squee moment was seeing Kim Sun Ah at the same event as her two most iconic drama male leads, Hyun Bin from My Name is … Continue reading →
After Choi Ji Woo hit a sweet spot with cable in tvN drama Second Time Twenty Again, two more forty and over are heading to cable and also doing the pre-produced format. Kim Hee Sun and Kim Sun Ah are in talks for jTBC drama Classy Her (or Her with Class), making it not just female lead centric but also … Continue reading →
I gotta give props when it’s due and Masked Prosecutor deserves kudos for doing the unthinkable from one week ago, namely making that flamboyant wrestling mask suddenly look narratively acceptable. Who woulda thunk it? The drama premieres on KBS this Wednesday night, with an eye towards keeping the ratings crown from predecessor Unkind Women using a combination of mature charm … Continue reading →
I love wit and sass and that’s something Kim Sun Ah has in spades, and an additional reason why I love her aside from her insane chemistry with all her male costars. She sells attraction like no other, when many leading ladies can act but struggle to evidence a desire to get close to the leading man. When Kim Sun … Continue reading →
The promotions for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosecutor feel so lackadaisical, like the person doing the job goes home everyday at noon. The drama is premiering next week but the network hasn’t really packaged it that well, with a sense of building flow and rolling energy. Instead there are random stills and two perfunctory trailers about a cop, a … Continue reading →
It’s a staggered May of Wed-Thurs drama premieres, making it hard to predict the outcome since none of the first episodes are going up head-to-head in airing date. MBC is the first out of the gate today with Warm and Cozy, next week is Masked Prosecutor (The Man in the Mask) over on KBS, and SBS rounds out the rear with … Continue reading →
The first preview for Masked Prosecutor is here, and I honestly feel torn. On one hand, everything looks great right off the bat with the introduction of the two leads. Joo Sang Wook looks believable as a prosecutor, not to mention charismatic and handsome to boot, while Kim Sun Ah is awesome at being a spirited kickass lady cop. Then … Continue reading →
Kim Sun Ah! Joo Sang Wook! Come to Koala, my pretties! With the cast of Masked Prosecutor (English title The Man in the Mask) sitting down for the first script reading, the wait is on for another potential golden pairing to light up the small screens come June. I won’t jinx it but with the collective acting ability of the two … Continue reading →
Even though KBS currently leads the Wed-Thurs ratings with its bad ladies behaving badly drama Unkind Women, it’s never too early to think ahead. Compared to the constant casting news whiplash coming out of MBC these days, KBS should thank its lucky stars that the next Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosectutor managed to cast the very first leads Joo Sang Wook … Continue reading →
This drama casting news was a day late to join in the circus atmosphere from yesterday’s information dump, but maybe KBS was saving the potential best for last? The upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Masked Prosecutor, following after the currently airing ratings leader Unkind Women, has pulled back the curtains to reveal both leads in consideration for drama and to say … Continue reading →
