There an article by a K-ent reporter this weekend that is garnering feedback because she is surveying the current landscape of “acting idols” and lamenting that it’s one step forward two steps back still. She writes that Junho of 2PM has taken 10 years of being an idol and acting in over 10 movies/dramas in total mostly in supporting roles … Continue reading →

The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →

This may be a case of expectations being set sooooooooooo insanely low that simply existing to make it on air is a win. I’m kidding of course, even the more beleaguered drama is still watched on its merits, no one pity watches anything. School 2021 was originally School 2020 which tells you how long this newest chapter of the School … Continue reading →

Well this is unfortunately for all involved. The next KBS Wed-Thurs drama School 2021 was already facing an uphill battle with an untried at acting idol male lead and a relatively unknown cast but now it’s also getting delayed.

There were four School seasons in the early Hallyu days that launched the career of many a now top K star before KBS paused the franchise for a decade until School 2013 came along. This upcoming School 2021 will be the fourth in the rebooted franchise and we will have to wait and see if this will also mark the … Continue reading →

Guess karma caught up to the production team of KBS drama School 2020, with so much tumult this ultimately isn’t a surprise. K-ent is reporting that the production for upcoming School 2020 has fallen through, which means the drama as we’ve heard won’t be made. Starring male lead Kim Yo Han, transitioning quickly from idol winner of Produce X 101 … Continue reading →

KBS is moving forward with the next iteration of its popular School series, hopefully it gets back to being entertaining and compelling like School 2013 and School 2015 rather than the meh School 2017. The casting this time will bring together brand new actor Kim Yo Han, who was top on the world last year being chosen center and number … Continue reading →

I didn’t cover the disbandment of male idol group X1 two weeks ago, as rightfully so with the news that it’s entire season of Produce X 101 was fully vote rigged. The problem with the vote rigging isn’t that every winner out of the 10 would not have made it, it’s that we’ll never know who would have made it … Continue reading →
