So this drama has been announced and filmed already but has recently gotten more concrete airing information. The K-drama Nice Guy starring Lee Dong Wook and Lee Sung Kyung will be airing on cable network jTBC in early 2025, for sure in the first half of next year. It’s about a three generational family of gangster dudes and their attempt … Continue reading →
SBS held the first drama awards of 2023 among the three big networks and it was a muted affair due to the days earlier passing of top actor Lee Seon Kyun. All the stars wore black except for one white and grey but there were definitely no one in anything colorful or eye catching. Kim Tae Ri and Lee Je … Continue reading →
I’m not even watching Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 but seeing these new drama stills for this weekend’s episodes just stir at the heartstrings. Kudos to leads Ahn Hyo Seob and Lee Sung Kyung for being so visually compatible AND delivering the emotions in pictures alone. I also remember Ahn Hyo Seob for being super tall and slim but either … Continue reading →
There was the biggest star walk on Friday night at the 2023 Baeksang Awards but the next day a large contingent also paraded through for the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Seoul. To say it was underwhelming is an understatement, outfits range from unmemorable and inoffensive to wildly unappealing. But you can tell the clothes are expensive, good fabrics and … Continue reading →
Last year 2022 was an extraordinarily good year for K-dramas but so far in 2023 we haven’t had a big yet hit, The Glory doesn’t count since it technically is considered a 2022 drama premiering at the end of December. SBS had a solid hit with Taxi Driver 2 and may even improve on that with the follow up drama … Continue reading →
The doctor is back, the romantic teacher on that is! SBS has kicked off the promo circuit for Romantic Teacher, Doctor Kim 3 (Dr. Romantic 3) which reunites the entire cast from season 2 with Han Suk Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, and Ahn Hyo Seob as the leads along with the sprawling broader supporting cast of familiar faces. The drama … Continue reading →
It’s the 30th anniversary next month in November 2022 for Elle Korea and it feels like a later entry for the magazine into South Korea than expected. It started sharing and influencing fashion in the early 90’s but missed the fast growth transition years of the 80’s. But in the intervening three decades South Korea is now not just a … Continue reading →
It’s weird that season 1 of Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim had the two younger leads not return for season 2 but now the 3rd season will continue with the same cast as season 2. I guess Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok were just too big at that point for another subordinate still learning the ropes role but much … Continue reading →
So the next season is also happening for SBS medical drama Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim, coming back in 2023 for the third go-around. Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3 will continue the story as left off with the second season including the return of Han Suk Kyu who has been in all the dramas so far with his 2nd season leads … Continue reading →
This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →
Whomever decided to give tvN Fri-Sat drama Shooting Star the official English title of Sh**ting Stars deserves to be flogged. The moment I laid eyes on it I read it a shitting star because hello why else blank blank two letters if not because it’s a bad word. This is a case of trying to be cute not working like … Continue reading →
The revenge romance is in the works and sounds like a reverse gender Secret Love scenario. Upcoming Tell Me It’s Love has secured Kim Young Kwang as the male lead and an offer is out to Lee Sung Kyung for the female lead, and there is certainly lots of height and visuals with this pairing. The drama is about a … Continue reading →
The star falls in love with someone in his/her entourage has been done to death in K-dramas but when done right remains a compelling well to mine interesting situations and dynamics. One of the best was On Air, one of the underrated Kim Eun Sook dramas, and one of the OTPs was the top actress and agency president. It sounds … Continue reading →
