It’s A-list actress versus A-list actress in a direct match up now confirmed for late summer 2016. KBS has signed on Kim Ha Neul to headline On the Way to the Airport in its Wed-Thurs time slot, pairing her up with already confirmed Lee Sang Yoon. Choi Ji Woo ultimately passed on the role but Kim Ha Neul has such … Continue reading →
It wouldn’t be a fun start to May without a good juicy entertainment to liven things up. It’s been quite a few weeks since the last big K-ent dating news that was Blood costars Gu Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun, who ended up planning a wedding in short order after news broke. This one may or may not see … Continue reading →
The successful run of tvN drama Oh My Ghost wrapped up this past weekend and paves the way for upcoming Choi Ji Woo drama Second Time Twenty Years Old. I quite liked OMG a lot and hope for the same quality with this new drama. My big worry remains how the drama wants to tackle the romantic entanglements, to go … Continue reading →
I’m wondering if audiences of old school Hallyu dramas will get whiplash if they were to check out Choi Ji Woo is upcoming tvN drama Second Time Twenty Years Old? She was best known for Winter Sonata, Beautiful Days, and Stairway to Heaven, all stupidly plotted addicting melo fests, yet she’s come so far now to break free from her queen … Continue reading →
Green is a color best associated with concepts of life, renewal, and positive energy, so what better way to promote upcoming ahjumma returning to college drama Second Time Twenty Years Old than with a background of a rich green lawn. I wouldn’t say tvN is impressive or original with the official drama posters, nor is it visually stunning enough to … Continue reading →
The next K-drama I’m most looking forward to is tvN‘s Second Time Twenty Again. I am really enjoying currently airing Oh My Ghost so it’s not to rush OMG off the screen, but I have grown super fond of Choi Ji Woo thanks to the triple punch – a fantastic turn as The Suspicious Housekeeper, being wonderfully hateful in Temptation, and … Continue reading →
Oh happy casting and drama news, thanks for brightening up my Friday heading into the weekend. Cable network tvN has locked down its next Fri-Sat drama after Oh My Ghost with a rom-com, keeping the fluffy romance streak going and making me very happy indeed. The drama was originally called Our Heaven but has gotten a name change to the … Continue reading →
There’s no clearer sign that Lee Jin Wook has passed on Hello Monster than to hear that another leading man is being offered the gig. Is it considered trading up or down that the role is moving from Lee Jin Wook to Lee Sang Yoon? Maybe just trading sideways, considering both were well-received leading men in a tvN cable drama … Continue reading →
I’m simultaneously impressed and concerned with the first tidbits to come out from the production of the Korean adaptation of Liar Game. I’m currently enamored of My Secret Hotel on tvN so am in no rush for that drama to get off the air so that its follow up Liar Game will arrive. For folks not into MSH then maybe … Continue reading →
I think we can officially call another drama trend in the last two years – the year of the remakes. This year K-dramas remade the popular TW-dramas My Queen into Witch’s Romance as well as Fated to Love You doesn’t quite make a trend. Add to it remakes of Japan doramas starting from last year with Haken no Hinkaku into … Continue reading →
I don’t know what else to say about the current weekend drama Angel Eyes other than – it’s really really good so don’t be scared and watch it! The first two episodes actually aired last weekend but it was primarily the teenage section of the story with Kang Ha Neul and Nam Ji Hyun ably hitting it out of the … Continue reading →
The upcoming SBS drama Angel Eyes is poised to take over in less than two weeks after Thrice Married Woman wraps up this weekend. I feel like that time slot for SBS has been a steady stream of painful to watch dramas that are admittedly quality written fare, from Birth Secret to Goddess of Marriage and now to Thrice Married Woman. … Continue reading →
SBS weekends have been pretty lackluster for me for a long time. The last weekend drama I enjoyed (somewhat) was Cheongdamdong Alice. The ones after that like Birth Secret, Goddess of Marriage, and Thrice Married Woman have all been singularly hard to watch. Not bad per se, just not very fun to slog through. Coming up next is Angel Eyes, … Continue reading →
