So this news is surprising but I won’t read too too much into it yet. K-net this week reported that both Lee Jong Seok and Go Min Si have declined the drama I am Against My Own Romance at the same time.

Anyways, Lee Jong Seok was at a brand store event this week and K-netizens saw … Continue reading →

Well this is definitely slim pickings at MBC this year for the Year End Drama Awards, but what else is new. This year even the contenders for the Daesang are retreads, in the sense that it’s three male leads who have all won MBC Daesangs in the past.

I’m so far from being caught up I may table this based on the howls of anger … Continue reading →
This Friday’s ratings for MBC drama Big Mouth was 9.8%, which puts this drama on the same trajectory as SBS Fri-Sat drama earlier this year Again My Life. An okay start but good word of mouth plus a fantastic male lead pulling in the viewers along the way. This Friday’s episode 5 got 9.8% ratings and the reviews continue to … Continue reading →
