Hit KBS drama Moonlight Drawn By Clouds wrapped up this Tuesday with the final episode 18, netting over 22% ratings for it’s fond farewell as fans bid adieu to cutie pies Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung. They really are supremely adorable in and out of character for this drama, a pairing perfectly sourced by casting agents and delivered … Continue reading →
September ended with a buzz less whimper as far as I’m concerned. The summer K-dramas long over, the early fall series are all delivering their respective goods without anything upending expectations set from the premiere episodes to show me that there is something thrilling to look forward. I like most of the currently airing K-dramas, but there’s nothing pressing to … Continue reading →
The Korean three major networks swap pole positions all the time with drama ratings but it’s especially funny to see the swap happen in two direct head-to-head showdowns. SBS won the Mon-Tues ratings during the summer with the neurosurgery Doctors, while KBS‘s own medical brain surgeon drama Beautiful Mind was such a ratings down that it even got cut short … Continue reading →
The showdown of the Mon-Tues sageuks has an out of the gate winner – congrats to KBS youth period drama Moonlight Drawn by Clouds for vaulting in the ratings for episode 3 this Monday and taking the runaway lead against premiering SBS rival Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Bobogyungsim: Ryeo). Moonlight jumped a cool 7.5% in ratings to hit AGG … Continue reading →
KBS premieres youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds this Monday evening, and those still on the fence can check on the ten minute long preview released at the press conference a few days ago to decide whether to watch or not. I’m a hundred percent planning to watch, with two leads I love who also can act in Park … Continue reading →
I gotta give Moonlight Drawn by Clouds visual team all the kudos for making this youth romance sageuk as pretty as a portrait. The first official drama poster is out and the colors, framing, and background are all top notch at conveying the heady scent of sweet romance. If Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung don’t convincingly sell the … Continue reading →
Now this is more like it, or at least more like what I was expecting from upcoming KBS Mon-Tues youth romance sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. The third teaser is out and expands on the traditional stylings of the second teaser rather than the oddball dance crew modern weirdness of the first preview. Park Bo Gum is suitably princely – … Continue reading →
Someone stop the presses – we have the official candidate and front runner for cutest thing in K-drama land this year. Kim Yoo Jung in a pale pink sageuk, flower crown in her softly mussed hair, and cuddling a little puppy, is about the most wholesome visual nourishment to be gifted with. Not sure if her character in upcoming KBS … Continue reading →
I can certainly bask for a long time simply on the pretty alone in upcoming youth sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds. Still premiering on Monday August 22nd following the conclusion of the Olympic Games coverage on KBS, after Beautiful Mind was cut short due to low ratings, who knows if this drama has a shot at bringing in viewers before … Continue reading →
I gotta give upcoming KBS Mon-Tues sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds credit for both knowing its audience pool and willing to toggle expectations. I was thinking this drama was super romantic in that chaste sageuk way, with lots of pining and unspoken emotions, but the first teaser was all period inappropriate with Park Bo Gum‘s crown prince boogeying down with … Continue reading →
Things are atwitter at KBS studios this week thanks to the murmurs concerning the Mon-Tues prime time drama time slot. Currently the network is airing Beautiful Mind with seemingly cult appeal but generally low low ratings, and now word is that KBS is considering ending BM early ostensibly for the upcoming Rio Olympics coverage. Whether BM ends early or not … Continue reading →
The first teaser for KBS Mon-Tues sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds is interesting to say the least. Park Bo Gum is adorable but the tone is totally off-kilter even if this is a youth romance leading sageuk. But it’s harmless enough and does a great job of capitalizing on Park Bo Gum’s appeal, the boyish energy paired with acting charisma. … Continue reading →
Filming continues onward for youth sageuk Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, as the summer days heat up the cast seems to be staying perky and animated. It’s hard enough to film in the muggy weather but to be in full sageuk garb strikes me as excessively burdensome. Luckily for the young cast of Moonlight, everyone seems to be getting along well … Continue reading →
