It’s not hard to root for a wronged woman, and a wronged mom makes it double the edge. Recently premiered Channel A makjang drama Lies of Lies (hahaha even the title is so makjang) recorded a 4.276% ratings in the most recently aired episode 4. That’s the highest ratings ever for a Channel A drama and there is so many … Continue reading →
The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
KBS is doing more Friday dramas, a time slot that tvN has had mixed success with from drama to drama. With Heart to Heart ending last week, Super Daddy Yul arrives this Friday to ride that time slot well into the middle of spring.

Let’s go with the confirmed casting one first – Lee Dong Gun and recent MBCÂ Drama Daesang winner Lee Yoo Ri is pairing up for the next tvN drama … Continue reading →
Maybe I’m in a particularly easygoing mood lately, how else to explain why I’m crazy affectionate towards all the promos for Kill Me Heal Me.
