I was initially going to give the upcoming tvN drama My Secret Hotel a pass since there wasn’t any one element that hooked me good. I really like male leads Jin Yi Han who is getting a well-deserved career uptick after Empress Ki and A New Leaf and Namg Goong Min who is happily ensconced in cable dramas lately with I Need Romance 3 and … Continue reading →
The upcoming cable drama Unemployed Romance (literal title Unemployment Benefits Romance) is one of those odd ducks for me. I love Nam Goong Min almost as much as I am adverse to Lee Young Ah. I’ll confess that I never warmed up to Lee Young Ah because she’s always been rather OTT in acting and I found her singularly plain. … Continue reading →
Can I have a minute here to compose myself? I am seriously verklempt with emotion looking at the first official stills from the set of Cheongdamdong Alice with my darling Moon Geun Young making adorable faces for the cameras early in the morning during filming. She is seriously like the cheerleading energizer bunny on any of her drama or film … Continue reading →
Cheongdamdong Alice is far and away my most anticipated upcoming K-drama in the horizon, even adding in the dramas already announced for 2013.

Nam Goong Min has just been confirmed as joining Kim Hyun Joong in the upcoming manhwa drama adaptation of the gritty 90s City Conquest. I don’t read manhwas but from the synopsis, this reads like a … Continue reading →
Flames of Desire finished its fifty-episode run today (I still need to marathon the second half of the drama once I get myself in the mood for Shakespearen makjang awesomeness), and MBC released a second trailer for the upcoming Can You Hear My Heart. I don’t know why this drama inexplicably intrigues me, there is just something about the tone … Continue reading →
Best Subversive Casting Ever! I just realized that the upcoming MBC weekend drama Can You Hear My Heart has cast veteran Jung Bo Seok as the mentally disabled father of the lead actress character played Hwang Jung Eum. If anyone has watched all 60-episodes of Giant (truly an epic masterpiece), then you’ll likely ROFL along with me, because Jung Bo … Continue reading →
MBC’s current weekend drama Flames of Desire is burning up the screens with its epic pathos, but its successor looks to do an about-turn and go the cheerful, upbeat route. Earlier in January, rising actress Hwang Jung Eum was cast as the lead of Can You Hear My Heart, and this week her leading man was selected – fresh out of the … Continue reading →
