Success takes hard work and 2018 saw the first time that cable K-dramas fully dominated the landscape over Big Three network dramas, in both critical top 10 lists and comparative adjusted ratings. After nearly a decade of concerted effort to focus on K-drama quality production, the cable networks tvN, jTBC, and OCN have much to be proud of this year … Continue reading →
The results are in for the most talked about K-drama of the first half of 2018, and the winner is unsurprisingly the most polarizing drama so far in Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food (Something in the Rain). It’s rare to have a drama start off with high expectations, meet them, and then proceed to trample on all that goodwill … Continue reading →
With this week’s premiere of a new Mon-Tues drama, the gang is set for the coming few weeks in terms of dramas airing and with it comes a sense of ennui and low ratings. I’ll call it the 7-6-5 group as Partners for Justice is averaging 7%, Greasy Melo (Wok of Love) rose a bit this week to 6%, and … Continue reading →
The viewers have spoken and its a resounding ratings and feedback win for jTBC legal drama Miss Hammurabi which premiered this Monday opposite fellow new cable arrival About Time on tvN. Miss Hammurabi brought in nearly double the ratings of About Time, premiering at 3.739% compared to 1.766%.

Whatever casting gripes I had with upcoming jTBC judicial drama Miss Hammurabi has been tempered by how much I love the promo materials. The official drama poster for the full cast above is full of camaraderie and warmth, like a hearty homemade meal as this band of disparate judges and clerks walk side by side down the street. I love … Continue reading →
I really love the official drama poster for jTBC drama Miss Hammurabi. It delivers a scene full of emotional and life as Go Ara drags along her more stodgy and senior judges L and Sung Dong Il in a local market backdrop. I still think the casting of two out of the three leads is way wack but then I … Continue reading →
A big thanks to upcoming jTBC legal drama Miss Hammurabi for the Monday chuckles as the drama released the first official still showing the three leads exactly in character. Starring Go Ara, L (Kim Myung Soo) and Sung Dong Il, the drama is adapted from the same name novel about judges on the Seoul Eastern District Court and the cases … Continue reading →
The idea of young judges is not an impossibility in the South Korean legal system since a graduate of law can take the exam to become a judge straight out of school. With that said, it’s still going to make me snicker a bit when I see Go Ara and L both playing judges in the upcoming jTBC drama Miss … Continue reading →
Looks like cable network jTBC is also jumping on the legal drama trend, as if there wasn’t a surfeit of such dramas over in the big three networks already. jTBC has picked up the K-drama adaptation of novel Miss Hammurabi chronicling the judicial legal profession. Sounds a lot like Nothing to Lose (Judge v. Judge) where all the leads are … Continue reading →
