Well this is a blast from the past! A good one at that, and I hope she’s back on a more consistent cadence now. K-actress Moon Geun Young made her first public appearance in years as she returns to the … Continue reading
The career trajectory of K-actress Moon Geun Young hasn’t gone into hibernation like Won Bin or slow slide into being forgotten like Yoon Eun Hye, but she’s definitely someone I didn’t think would be working this infrequently in dramas and … Continue reading

The scheduled press conference for K-drama Catch the Ghost was postponed due to ill tidings in K-ent and a sad passing so the drama held its press conference today hours before the drama premiered as the new Mon-Tues tvN offering. … Continue reading
It’s October, yay, which means it really does feel like fall and I’m ready for something new again. The change of pace catching my eye is Catch the Ghost on tvN, doing the police procedural but without the politics and … Continue reading
I don’t think one needs to be specifically a subway cop to be totally beat (har har) at the end of the day working that job. Kudos to anyone working along the vast transportation system that keeps people moving. With … Continue reading
Those who take subways daily know there is an inherent risk of it being late, dirty, and perhaps a tiny sliver of danger. But that’s subways in wild NYC and I honestly can’t see the subway system of well-run South … Continue reading
There’s a switcheroo with the tvN Mon-Tues K-drama airing time slot. The network is delaying subway police drama Catch the Ghost until October rather last minute and and will family political drama Great Show first in August after Designated Survivor. … Continue reading
The idea of a K-drama set around subway cops does sound rather dull, or more accurately not very compelling with the crime elements. I’m only interested in upcoming tvN drama Catch the Ghost for lead Moon Geun Young despite the … Continue reading
