K-actor Lee Do Hyun may be pulling a Song Kang this year with multiple dramas but I’m not too worried about his overexposure (yet). He’s currently in Youth of May and will also do Melancholia with Im Soo Jung, and now he’s also in talks for the upcoming webtoon adapted K-drama Hunting Dogs with Kwak Dong Yeon, and there will … Continue reading →
I find Vincenzo a hearty dish and it’s going to be one of those dramas where upon re-watch my opinion may shift and that’s the hallmark of a good series. The tvN hit drama ended with the 6th highest single episode ratings in network history so kudos to that. The drama has topped the Good Data weekly drama internet buzz … Continue reading →
The definition of a breakout is for someone not headlining to steal the spotlight. Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeo Bin were the leads of tvN drama Vincenzo and they were both excellent, not a surprise for him given his range and continuous development and for her it was a bad pitch that she really swung for the fences with … Continue reading →
There was a lot to take in for the final episode 20 of Vincenzo and as a huge fan I was split in my reaction, the critical side thought it was well done and consistent with the path and message but as the pure drama viewer I didn’t enjoy this finale content. It veered into biblical imagery torture porn territory … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens. The novel The Youngest Son of Sunyang (also called The Chaebol Family’s Youngest Son) was announced to be adapted to a K-drama around fall of 2020 with an anticipated airing … Continue reading →
I found my new crack drama ladies and gentlemen! Patience has paid off as episode 4 of Vincenzo was so good I have the shivers and shakes and can’t stop thinking about the exquisite details. Our Vincenzo may still have his own agenda (tons and tons of gold, who wouldn’t?) but he’s going to mete out some of his own … Continue reading →
The second episode of tvN Sat-Sun drama Vincenzo can best be described by Song Joong Ki saying “I’m back, bitches!” and me saying “Drama gods almighty I have no f*cking clue what I am watching!” This drama is like Dong Ryeong from Answer Me 1988 got together with Jung Hwan’s dad and they wrote a script complete with 1980’s HK … Continue reading →
I keep getting Lawless Lawyer vibes from the promos for Vincenzo, and both being from tvN and featured out-of-the-box lawyers perhaps that’s the reason. The promo visuals aren’t copying anything but the intense savvy male lead played by Song Joong Ki and the cool capable female lead by Jeon Yeo Bin just reminds me of that awesome OTP dynamic from … Continue reading →
Almost every one of my actor baes came back with a K-drama in 2020 but Song Joong Ki was one of the few who didn’t. But he’s primed on deck to be one of the first in 2021 as filming has commenced for early 2021 tvN drama Vincenzo. I don’t think the cast can travel to Italy for the overseas … Continue reading →
Awwwww, after that amazing guest starring turn as a mental patient in It’s Okay to be Okay, I was hoping for the warm and cuddly side of Kwak Dong Yeon for his next drama. But it’s going to be his crazy and dark side, which he pulls off very well because he’s just that good of an actor. Kwak Dong … Continue reading →
I can’t get my arms around either the plot or ratings of tvN drama It’s Okay to Not be Okay and it’s all in good ways. This drama keeps me off kilter and every scene feels meaningful and thrilling, I was riveted to episode 3 and there is so much to talk about. The drama setting moves from Seoul to … Continue reading →
At this point I need some heartwarming drama to reaffirm my faith in life. Too bad Brilliant (The Light in Your Eyes) aired earlier this year because it was fan-freaking amazing and I wish I could savor it anew right when I’m dealing with real life and drama world life existential crises. Maybe upcoming MBC drama Welcome 2 Life will … Continue reading →
A bit lost in the recent high profile K-drama premieres is a chance for SBS to win the time slot of Mon-Tues with second chance drama My Strange Hero (Bok Soo is Back). Right now it’s not a very competitive time slot and previous drama Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) led the ratings despite a narratively that reportedly went … Continue reading →
