So it’s nice to see a drama line up the cast and actually provide a meaningful synopsis to assess whether it sounds good or not. A new K-drama is coming adapted from an online novel titled Please Marry My Husband. Park Min Young will play a woman who finds out she has cancer AND that her husband is cheating on … Continue reading →
The Wed-Thurs time slot has been rather muted for some time in terms of big hit dramas and in fact some recent dramas went as low as in the 1% range. That was the case for KBS drama Love All Play which I heard good things about but probably due to the lack of popularity with the two leads Park … Continue reading →
Fortune favors the bold and I absolutely think luck is one of those things that if you think you’re lucky then it feels like 51% of the time things go your way. But upcoming K-drama Jinxed at First (The Jinx’s Lover) has a male lead that is extraordinarily and always unlucky, crossing paths with the female lead that vows to … Continue reading →
Summer is perfect rom-com time and upcoming KBS drama Jinxed at First (The Jinx’s Lover) feels right up that alley. With that said, I’m not expecting any meaningful ratings for this what with leads Na In Woo being a new leading man and Seohyun yet to deliver on prior work ratings. But a good drama is still better than high … Continue reading →
I was totally not expecting this drama to arrive so soon but it’s a happy surprise that KBS will premiere The Jinx’s Lover next month in June in the Wed-Thurs time slot following Love All Play (The Speed Going to You 493km). Starring Na In Woo and Seohyun, the drama is adapted from a webtoon and tells the story of … Continue reading →
Okay, now I’m getting annoyed and I really was fine with Kim Hye Yoon being like a supporting actress role in Snowdrop to newbie Jisoo but now it’s getting ridiculous. On what planet is she is the second lead to Choi Yi Hyun, who granted broke out with All of Us are Dead and prior to that was part of … Continue reading →
Talk about a current IT level casting on all four leads. K-ent has assembled a romance quartet for the upcoming movie Similar (also called Agreement) which will star Yeo Jin Gu and Kim Hye Yoon, earlier confirmed, and this week added Na In Woo and Choi Yi Hyun. That’s all released on the movie so far but with this level … Continue reading →
I don’t know if I want K-actor Na In Woo to do a three-fer in this category of being the replacement player but he’s certainly making the most of it. The production of long running KBS variety show 2 Days & 1 Night (1 Night 2 Days or 1N2D) has announced a new permanent member in Na In Woo, clearly … Continue reading →
The 2021 KBS Drama Awards was the surprising highlight for me of the three network ceremonies, there was so many of my faves in attendance and everyone looked great! Even the black dresses were uniquely cut so it wasn’t so boring, but most of the ladies took bigger fashion chances than the Korean actress contingent usually do. It was a … Continue reading →
Okay, these guys are busy bees this year and most on the list did at least two K-dramas this year and some even more than that (Song Kang, imma looking at you). With the year coming to a close, there is a promising new crop of breakout male drama actors who are expected to rake in more casting offers to … Continue reading →
The 2021 Asia Artist Awards was held last week and it gave out 7 Daesangs so that tells you the rigor of the voting body lol. It’s always been a popularity and hype contest which is fine, there is definitely a niche for ceremonies that is all about getting fan faves together. A few of mine won and attended which … Continue reading →
If I grow to like K-actor Na In Woo even more than I do now after his successful parachute in male lead turn in KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises, I’ll always enjoy the epic takedown I did of him in a blog post announcing his casting to replace Ji Soo and how much he sucked in Queen Cheorin … Continue reading →
A nicely laudatory ceremony for the 2021 Baeksang Awards wrapped up tonight in South Korea and I’m pretty happy with the results. The Daesang went to Yoo Jae Suk for his continued exemplary work as a variety star and host, so it wasn’t given to the drama side. Beyond Evil took home Best Drama and male lead Shin Ha Kyun … Continue reading →
