The Mon-Tues time slot has way more interesting dramas than the Wed-Thurs period, at least for the month of October thanks to the premiere of three new dramas that all got good reviews. Leading the prime time networks is SBS new arrival Where Stars Land (Fox Star Bride) with 5.9% and 7.2% in its first episode, way higher than the … Continue reading →
The late summer 2018 Mon-Tues time slot has a new arrival but it’s an already airing drama that has shown legs this week. KBS premiered horror romance Lovely Horribly to ratings in the single digits of around 4% for the episodes 1-4 combined on both nights. I’m not ready to dive into SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen due to the … Continue reading →
The weird and creepy vibe is on full display in the latest set of drama stills and 3rd teaser for KBS drama Lovely Horribly. If done right in the script and directing, this drama has a shot to be worth watching with a fresh narrative even if leads Park Shi Hoo and Song Ji Hyo may not be everyone’s cup … Continue reading →
I continue to appreciate the graphic design efforts that are coming out of KBS drama Lovely Horribly. It takes a talented eye to design drama posters for a cross genre work like a horror plus romance and make it feel both creepy and slightly gothic romance. I loved the OTP posters and now the individual character posters are out and … Continue reading →
The dichotomy in the title of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly extends to the drama itself not just within the narrative but in real life. Some aspects are quite lovely, like these creative and eye catching official drama posters, while others darn horrible such as the PD using the Sewol family victim’s tearful pain as tool to criticize the acting … Continue reading →
It’s unfortunate that the PD of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly had to make such an inappropriate and insensitive comment during filming because learning about it adds another layer of pall over the proceedings. The drama marks Park Shi Hoo‘s first return to prime time drama land since the 2011 drama The Princess’s Man, with his later drama Cheondamdong Alice … Continue reading →
Sometimes what’s said is so so bad it’s hard to apologize enough to walk back the permanent impression of how awful a person must be to have said it. The PD of upcoming drama Lovely Horribly is in hot water for a remark that was made on the filming of the drama where he was criticizing an unnamed female actress … Continue reading →
For some reason I feel like KBS drama Are You Human Too has been airing for a long time in the Mon-Tues slot but it still has a few more weeks of run time before creepy rom-com successor Lovely Horribly arrives on August 13th. K-dramas usually has a creepy genre offering every August during the traditional lunar new year ghost … Continue reading →
I don’t know if it’s intention or not but I definitely feel the horror-esque vibe of upcoming KBS drama Lovely Horribly. For female lead Song Ji Hyo it’s the scene of her walking in the rain with a shovel over her shoulder like she just dug a grave to bury a dead body, but for male lead Park Shi Hoo … Continue reading →
I feel like K-ent is determine to boil anyone’s distaste or reservations towards actor Park Shi Hoo like a frog by normalizing his return to drama land. The success of 2017 weekend drama My Golden Life was due to the screenwriter and ensemble but it bolsters the assumption that K-viewers are fine to see him back onscreen. Prior to MGL … Continue reading →
This drama setup actually sounds interesting in that K-drama fated and full of coincidences sort of way, and yet the casting just grinds it all to a near halt for me. The next KBS Mon-Tues drama premiering in early August will be Lovely Horribly, following Are You Human?. It’s described as a scary elements romance, with a top star played … Continue reading →
I’m not triggered enough to care but this doesn’t sound like a good casting or interesting drama. KBS has picked up horror romance Lovely Horribly and is in talks with Song Ji Hyo and Park Shi Hoo as the leads. The drama centers around the female lead screenwriter who has the supernatural ability of making her script scenarios happen in … Continue reading →
