I was worried that the back-to-back soul swap sageuk airing of K-dramas Moon River on MBC transitioning to To My Beloved Thief on KBS might steal the latter’s thunder by being a second to arrive problem.

This sounds so potentially awesome with both the cast and the story outline it’s like why hasn’t K-drama land thought of this before? Lol, it did but that was the modern take with Secret Garden, the soul swap hit drama about a chaebol and stunt woman, and now we will be getting the KBS sageuk version with Dear Bandit, the … Continue reading →
It feels like a blast from the past when I have to write a post about K-dramas in the same week with the same theme. It appears next year 2025 is going to be about period era soul-swapping, what with the sageuk The Moon Flows Over the River getting cast and now this new sageuk drama Dear Bandit.

There is a new K-drama on a quick rise to popularity and it’s one I initially didn’t have much interest in but whenever I hear something is legit good it’s always worth checking out.

A new legal drama is coming on SBS in early 2024, the directly titled Good Partner centered around attorneys at a divorce firm. My fave divorce attorney K-drama remains Love and Marriage which feels like multiple lifetimes ago.

The Little Women K-drama that is inspired by the famous book of the same name but then has not much to do with the plot of that book is off to the races this weekend to better reception than fanfare. The 12-episode drama starring Kim Go Eun, Nam Ji Hyun, Park Ji Hoo, and Wi Ha Joon is not one … Continue reading →
I wish this drama didn’t call itself Little Women but then again quite a few Korean dramas have used famous Western work titles and it didn’t create confusion, thinking of Pinocchio and While You Were Sleeping among others.
