Ooooooh, this looks so tasty a drama dish! The first stills are out for the fantasy drama The Witch’s Diner (Welcome to the Witch’s Restaurant) airing this July on streaming platform TVING. Starring Song Ji Hyo as the titular witch giving off plenty of Lee Man Wol from Hotel Del Luna vibes, the story centers around her opening a restaurant … Continue reading →
When I saw this post circulating among K-netizens it was such a walk down memory lane. Both dramas aired in 2010 and then it felt like such hope for the new creative and emotional heights for K-dramas in the start of that decade. Netizens decree that two dramas Cinderella Unni (Cinderella’s Stepsister) and Will it Snow for Christmas are both … Continue reading →
One good thing that came out of the brain hurty jTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth was discovering a new talent. I was like Park Hyung Sik’s character in Heirs when he first meets female lead Cha Eun Sung and he swans over with a cheeky “Dugu, new face?!” I’m talking about Chinese restaurant boy Sun played by rookie actor Chae … Continue reading →
Get ready for mother-daughter bonding time and runaway groom chasing shenanigans. Nam Ji Hyun may be returning later this year with fantasy drama Come to Witch’s Restaurant but her fans will get to see her as soon as early March in the 1-episode jTBC Drama Festa project Off Route. She plays a bride-to-be whose groom runs away on their wedding … Continue reading →
A new K-drama is in the works and will be streamed solely on TVing, the Korean online platform. It’s called Welcome to Witch’s Restaurant (Come to Witch’s Restaurant) based on an award winning short story submitted to a writing contest. It tells of a witch running a restaurant that can grant wishes which in turn heals those who eat there. … Continue reading →
I searched and there are no pictures of the actors and actresses attending the 2020 MBC Drama Awards with their face masks off so kudos for the production really sticking with proper protective gear and social distancing. Everyone even wore gloves too! Too bad they all decided to do only black and white for their outfits, like the fight with … Continue reading →
I always felt that Han Ga In was not right for the female lead role in hit sageuk The Moon Embraces the Sun, the age gap with Kim Soo Hyun, her acting limitations (he was acting circles around her), and that the age of the character really suited a early 20s actress. There’s a chance to cast right for Hong … Continue reading →
MBC still hasn’t found the ratings mojos that some of the other networks have managed to scrounge back and I’m not sure this next Mon-Tues drama will bring in tons more viewers even if it’s good. I’m totally watching 365: Repeat the Year because I love both leads Nam Ji Hyun and Lee Joon Hyuk, and knowing these two likely … Continue reading →
I’m super excited for this new drama and it’s definitely less than 365 days away. Script reading and filming has kicked off for MBC time-travel thriller 365: A Year of Defying Fate. Starring Lee Joon Hyuk and Nam Ji Hyun, the two are among a group of 10 individuals given the chance to go back exactly one year prior in … Continue reading →
Yay, what a great casting call and so looking forward to this drama now for 2020. Nam Ji Hyun is confirmed opposite Lee Joon Hyuk for the time-travel K-drama 365: A Year of Defying Fate, based on the Japanese novel Repeat. The story involves 10 people who get a chance to travel back in time to 1 year earlier and … Continue reading →
There’s an under the radar drama airing on small cable network Olive called Eun Joo’s Room (Dear My Room) and having two big name stars cameo is really a boom because now even I’ve heard of it. D.O. and Nam Ji Hyun have traded their crown prince and destined wife Joseon garb from 100 Days My Prince for comfortable and stylish … Continue reading →
It took me a little longer than usual to write about recently wrapped Mon-Tues tvN sageuk romance drama 100 Days My Prince (Dear Husband of 100 Days) and not for lack of success of this drama. The series ended with a time slot high of 14.412% and also on average is the fourth highest rated tvN drama of all time … Continue reading →
I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since K-actress Nam Ji Hyun debuted in the early Hallyu says as one of the child actress wunderkinds. She’s navigated the path to adulthood both in her personal and professional life with grace and smarts, never getting into any scandals and always picking worthwhile projects. Her first adult role in the ensemble weekender … Continue reading →
