K-actress Han Ji Min is on such a roll it’s like she’s driving a Porsche and everyone else around her is in a Pinto. It’s a three-peat for this veteran actress as her acting in currently airing MBC drama Spring Night is deservingly garnering positive reviews, this on top of her last bravura performance in the tearjerking Dazzling (The Light … Continue reading →
There is still three months left in 2018 and plenty can change in the drama ratings ranks but so far the tally remains comparatively low ratings for network dramas while cable continues to impress with how strong it is airing on paid channels. Currently the highest rated network prime time drama is SBS scandal-plagued police crime drama Return which switched leading … Continue reading →
The conclusion of tvN time-travel and do-over drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) frees up on Wed-Thurs again after being fairly addicted for the past eight weeks. I tried to watch on the days it aired but wasn’t so engrossed that I couldn’t miss a few same day airings and catch up on the weekends. It was much better than I … Continue reading →
Knowing is power and the K-drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) took a fantasy trick of time-traveling to the past and alternate futures to give both leads Han Ji Min and Ji Sung‘s married couple characters a chance to be the best versions of themselves. It’s too cutesy and honestly both probably screwed others over in the alternate timelines but since … Continue reading →
Now this is a cameo that feels so perfect in casting and timing. K-actor Jo Jung Seok will be making a guest appearance in the final episode of tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) as a nod to both the screenwriter and the leading lady. He worked the the screenwriter before in Oh My Ghost while Han Ji Min guest … Continue reading →
I haven’t been this addicted to a K-drama in awhile and couldn’t have found a more satisfying watch than currently airing tvN Wed-Thurs drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). Leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min have crafted characters whose fate and happiness I’m invested in, even when there are flaws and mistakes made and the collateral damage makes me wish … Continue reading →
You know you love a drama when it elicits the entire breadth of emotions from anger to happy tears in a single episode. Even more clear how much I’m loving tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) is that I equally love/hate male lead Ji Sung‘s character and can’t wait to see him both suffer for his selfish choices and ultimately … Continue reading →
I reserved judgment that K-actress Han Ji Min wasn’t just all around awful though it really seemed that way after the debacle that was Hyde, Jekyll, Me. Her character was incredibly annoying as written but her performance exacerbated the problem. In her first drama back since then she chose the do-over fantasy what-if drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) with Ji … Continue reading →
The Wed-Thurs time slot for the next month officially belongs to tvN drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). The cable drama hit 7.259% ratings in episode 6, higher than the averaged half episode ratings of the prime time competitors Your Honor (Dear Judge) on SBS, the melodrama Time on MBC, and the family drama Your House Helper on KBS, with those … Continue reading →
The new arrival in the Wed-Thurs time slot is tvN time-traveling or do-over drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Life) with Ji Sung and Han Ji Min, and the two veteran leads with a spotty drama ratings track record managed to debut with very solid ratings for cable. Knowing Wife premiered with 4.680% and then rose to 5.535% in episode 2. Leading … Continue reading →
I have to commend the production team of tvN late summer drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) for really capturing the warm close vibe of a married couple. Whether it’s the drama posters of leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min to their latest pre-married college day first love stills, the sincere aura of a couple in for the long haul … Continue reading →
I’m relieved the additional drama posters for tvN‘s choice changing life drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) turned out to also be as good as the initial teaser posters. After the trainwreck cut and paste photoshop of MBC drama Risky Romance, it’s a nice visual palate cleanser to see a drama poster be both pretty and forecast the story. The main … Continue reading →
I’ve given Han Ji Min so much flack for her last drama that it’s only fitting in the drama karma sense to be feeling so conversely charmed by promos alone for her upcoming drama Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife). She looks so warm and carefree in these stills, I love the greenery in the background to make this drama feel alive. … Continue reading →
