Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook typically does a drama every two years and it’s been that long since her last drama The King: Eternal Monarch in 2020. She is coming back this year with revenge melodrama The Glory, which is being split into 8-episode multi-seasons like Penthouse. The drama is set to start filming shortly and the casting train this added … Continue reading →

A creepy cool mystery with a tinge of horror drama is on deck as TVing announced the casting of Yoon Kyun Sang and Lim Ji Yeon as the leads for its upcoming drama The Mansion. He plays a detective and she’s a hotel employee who goes back home to her family mansion when she hears that her sister has gone … Continue reading →
The Asia Artist Awards started only three years ago in 2016 created by a few cable networks. This year it’s going to be held in Vietnam and announced as the MCs are singer Leeteuk and actress Lim Ji Yeon. The first female names to attend as presenters are out and include singer-actress Yoona currently with the summer blockbuster hit movie … Continue reading →
At this point I need some heartwarming drama to reaffirm my faith in life. Too bad Brilliant (The Light in Your Eyes) aired earlier this year because it was fan-freaking amazing and I wish I could savor it anew right when I’m dealing with real life and drama world life existential crises. Maybe upcoming MBC drama Welcome 2 Life will … Continue reading →
KBS is brewing up a love and libations drama that’s right up my alley, and with a cute name for a drink I adore. Mojito is on the menu for the network and has stirred up the combination of Sung Joon and Lim Ji Yeon as the leads. The drama is about a chaebol heir who gets anxious at night … Continue reading →
The VIP movie premiere for the Yoo Hae Jin and Lee Joon identity swapping movie Luck-Key is a quite a treat for the adoring fans in attendance as many big names showed up. My favorite squee moment was seeing Kim Sun Ah at the same event as her two most iconic drama male leads, Hyun Bin from My Name is … Continue reading →
If I were a betting man I would abstain from picking the winner of the upcoming Mon-Tues K-drama ratings battle. There are too many variables in the air and none of three contenders have a sure fire hook going for it. I don’t even know which one I would click play first but I’m certainly going to check all three … Continue reading →
A long and relatively successful run ended today for the SBS 50-episode sageuk Six Flying Dragons, the ratings leader in the Mon-Tues time slot but never high enough in ratings to bring back the days of yore when serious longs sageuks could average 20%. While Yoo Ah In and co is off getting much needed earned rest, up next is … Continue reading →
SBS is wrapping up long running Mon-Tues drama Six Flying Dragons next week and the following week will see the premiere of Daebak, which has been officially English titled The Royal Gambler rather than the literal Jackpot. I kinda like The Royal Gambler, has a nice ring to it and direct explanation of the main character and subject matter. Jang … Continue reading →
I hope SBS drama Jackpot (Daebak) can continue the success of Six Flying Dragons but it’s not a sure bet since Jackpot will be up against contrasting competition with long drama Monster and legal drama Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul Ho. Also add Jang Geun Seok as the leading man when his popularity in Korea has decreased in recent years, but … Continue reading →
More daebak teasers from upcoming SBS Mon-Tues drama Jackpot and the intense eye stares has certainly shot through the roof. The production unveiled new drama stills of the veteran actors Choi Min Soo and Jeon Kwang Ryul, in a reunion from Warrior Baek Dong Soo, and both seem right at home in their roles. Choi Min Soo especially seems to … Continue reading →
The drama hasn’t even aired yet and already the bromance has brewed offscreen. That’s good since the two male leads will be direct antagonists in upcoming SBS sageuk Jackpot, better like each other during filming and then ratchet up the acting animosity when cameras roll. SBS kinda did the roll out a bit backwards with Jackpot, it dropped the first … Continue reading →
