It must’ve been a lackluster year in romance and rom-com K-dramas because of the top three favorite drama couples only one came from that genre. It goes to Junho and Yoona in rom-com King the Land, which brought in buzz and ratings for the network and lots of the love for the leads even if the drama itself was just a mediocre paint by numbers storyline. Then viewers love the young couple in superhero family and action drama Moving played by Lee Jung Ha and Go Yoon Jung, followed by the parent pair of Han Hyo Joo and Jo In Sung. For those still looking for a compelling onscreen couple from a drama this year you can start with these two dramas for sure.

Alrighty, we’re in November already and 2023 will soon be in the rearview mirror. There will be plenty of time for Best Of lists and posts but Joynews got a kick start by polling 200 plus entertainment industry folks including … Continue reading
I love a positive breakout story and the male lead of Moving definitely earned it. Young actor Lee Jung Ha went from just starting out his entertainment career with small parts in a few dramas to headlining the buzziest K-drama … Continue reading
So I always wondered what reclusive but insanely handsome and talented Won Bin‘s career could be like if he did one drama/movie a decade and just picked the best thing he came across that could tempt him. That is what … Continue reading

The hype and love for K-drama Moving continues through 13 episodes with still more runway with a 20-episode scheduled run on Disney+. I loved the high school kids section but the parents is even more heart wrenching so it’s just … Continue reading
I can’t get over the irony of Disney+ finally having a massive hit with Moving in everything (casting, directing, writing) when there feels like a downtown in K-drama trends overall. This week there are new really charismatic and strong visual … Continue reading
It’s clear now that Moving is the biggest K-drama for Disney+ and getting confirmation that it has the highest viewership of any K-drama on the platform is just perfunctory. If this drama aired on Netflix it would be HUGE based … Continue reading
So it’s nice to do a check in on how the K-dramas of 2023 have been so far. There has been quite a few hits in ratings and buzz but in terms of post airing long term quality and recommendation … Continue reading
I’ve heard the Disney+ K-drama Moving described as more similar to a US show with the ensemble cast, time spanning story, superpowers, conspiracy, and without the usual two main leads set up in K-dramas that the story centers around. That … Continue reading
So K-drama Moving may just be Disney+‘s biggest hit to date but with the news that the platform will stop investing in original K-dramas may be too little too late. Since the premiere last week I’ve seen more online chatter … Continue reading
It’s sad that Disney+ hasn’t made any headway in South Korea K-drama land despite having a built in brand name with a portfolio of popular Hollywood movies and TV shows to surround its investment into exclusive K-dramas. I’ve heard some … Continue reading
