A successful drama run these days is rarer than ever especially in the romantic comedy genre where it’s basically a unicorn. Just wrapped tvN Mon-Tues romance drama This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life), with less comedy than expected but still chuckles aplenty, held a much deserved cast drama wrap party this week as the final … Continue reading →
I spent last weekend catching up on OCN fantasy thriller procedural Black and gushing all over it, but that’s like one amazing meal compared to the consistent afternoon snack that has been sustaining me for the last five weeks in tvN rom-com This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life). Last week’s episode 10 broke 4% ratings … Continue reading →
My favorite new K-drama is here and Mon-Tues will be owned by tvN‘s cohabitation rom-com This Life is Our First. As suspected when I heard the premise and saw the first promos, this is the K-version of hit J-dorama Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job or the literal translation title of Runaway is Ashamed But … Continue reading →
There’s quite a handful of new K-dramas arriving next week and the first to drop next Monday October 9th is tvN Mon-Tues rom-com This Life is Our First.

The cuteness is tripled in the drama poster for upcoming tvN series This Life is Our First (Because This is Our First Life) when I count leads Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki before I even got to the fluffy white cat in his arms.

There is a new reason in K-drama land to bring together two fated leads in onscreen cohabitation, if one is homeless and the other house poor then what perfect serendipity for them to cross paths at the park. The vibe for upcoming tvN drama This Life is Our First is totally bathed in the cable network’s light airy atmosphere, as … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN is now no longer the sole player in the paid to watch market with rival jTBC making huge strides in the last two years in airing popular and critically well received dramas. That doesn’t mean tvN is on the downward trajectory and I hope the network continues to churn out interesting dramas without succumbing to the fallacy … Continue reading →
One is striking while the iron is hot and the other is coming back after a decade hiatus, I have high hopes this vast gulf will bring together two talented acting stars for drama magic onscreen this fall.

The summer of 2016 has officially become the summer of Korean male stars allegedly behaving badly, or the summer that the public learned about it. There are two more male actors involved in sexual assault allegations, joining Yoochun‘s scandalous alleged rapes mess which has been going on for over a month now. Starting chronologically, currently serving in the army public … Continue reading →
Woah, now this is what I call a double whammy. Not only is casting a shocker but even the decision between two dramas comes as a surprise for me. Cable network tvN is dealing with what must be a decision of greats, namely that either seems promising and inking both would be the smart movie. The network is scheduling its … Continue reading →

His features are off here and there from the ideal visage, yet together it forms this memorable image that lasts longer than simply being pretty. Pair that with a quirky personality and some great acting choices, he’s definitely an actor to follow and appreciate. He’s the spokesperson for the menswear … Continue reading →
