There are two new August weekend K-drama arrivals, neither of which particularly appeal to me in either subject matter or cast but would happily check out if I heard it was good. It’s now been three episodes for each and the ratings of MBC drama Mary Kills People with Lee Bo Young and Lee Min Ki are on an opposite … Continue reading →
So I love the dark as hell drama title Mary Kills People and also love amazing as heck female lead Lee Bo Young. But I have rarely been this triggered by a godawful hairstyle in a drama as whatever unholy in her eyes frizzy shit is on her head in these first stills. Yes, she plays a very good doctor … Continue reading →
Every time Ji Sung finishes a drama I just know Lee Bo Young is coming back soon haha, the married couple make it known they alternate filming on projects so one parent is always home with their kids. She’s confirmed her next project as the medical K-drama Mary Kills People, an adaptation of the same name Canadian show centered on … Continue reading →
So while all the K-drama attention this spring started on Queen of Tears and after it ended moved to Lovely Runner, we now have the first buzzy hit of the start of summer. Small cable network drama Crash premiered to around 2% ratings in mid-May and 2/3rds through its run has more than doubled to 5.870%. It’s a brisk 12-episodes … Continue reading →
The production team behind the jTBC drama Behind Your Touch also did one of my all time favorite K-dramas The Light in Your Eyes, and in fact female lead Han Ji Min is reuniting as the deal for both dramas. I guess what I am trying to say is that despite how weird and off putting the premise of Behind … Continue reading →
Call me pleasantly surprised that the premiere weekend of jTBC drama Behind Your Touch did not end in flaming from viewers over the butt touching mind reading ability conceit. Reviews are positive though acknowledging the humor is really slapstick and throwback but as long as viewers enjoy that tone and so far nothing is offensive then the production really needs … Continue reading →
This weekend has the new jTBC drama Behind Your Touch airing now that hit rom-com King the Land has finished. Starring Han Ji Min as a vet with the ability to read minds after she touches someone or some animal’s butt pairing up with hot tempered city to countryside cop played by Lee Min Ki and joined by strange newcomer … Continue reading →
I feel like this stuff would be fine maybe even 10 years ago, 20 years ago definitely, but in this day and age when bodily autonomy is openly expected it’s just odd how this drama leans against it. jTBC drama Behind Your Touch has Han Ji Min playing a vet who can read minds when she touches the behind of … Continue reading →
The promos for this upcoming jTBC drama absolutely sell very specific product and for some reason it’s just not for me. The next Sat-Sun drama from the cable network will be Behind Your Touch starring Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho and it seems like a cross between Hometown Cha Cha Cha and a Stephen Chow movie. Han … Continue reading →
jTBC has confirmed another drama airing schedule, with Behind Your Touch (original title Hip) to premiere after King the Land, so in mid-August. This drama is from the screenwriter of critically acclaimed series The Light in Your Eyes (Brilliant) so will be a reunion with Han Ji Min as the female lead. The drama has Han Ji Min playing a … Continue reading →
The streaming platforms in South Korea continue to get into the drama production line and Wavve is prepping a new thriller drama called Look at Me. In talks for the leads are Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Hyun. The story is about a famous plastic surgeon who gets caught up in a major crime investigation and spirals into an … Continue reading →
Ratings is definitely important and more often than not correlated with how popular a drama is. But the rare instances a drama can get lower ratings but higher online buzz and that’s the cast with My Liberation Notes. For a jTBC cable drama it started with 2.941% which is not super low but the network has seem many dramas premiere … Continue reading →
Ratings are important for recouping production investment and ensuring more K-dramas are made, but sometimes there are gems that don’t get the broader reception but linger as an asset to the genre. Such is the trajectory of jTBC Sat-Sun drama My Liberation Diary, it took over the time slot from Forecasting Love and Weather but is bringing in less than … Continue reading →
