If something quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, walks like a duck, then it is most definitely a duck. Same does not go for dramas as plenty of dramas have looked good and sounded good only to end up horribly off-the-mark. Like a supposed ace pitcher getting on the mound and throws a wild pitch that lands somewhere … Continue reading →
It will be a travesty of everything good in drama land if Joseon Gunman turns out to be a dud after dropping the most ridiculously gorgeous and eye-catching promotional materials in all of K-drama fare this year. I suppose the consolation prize is knowing that even if the drama sucks leading man Lee Jun Ki will be bringing it in … Continue reading →
Last week was fantastic for a K-drama fan, so many new dramas premiering with many quite watchable. I remember dry spells when nothing beckoned other than lackluster dramas one would watch because nothing else was on. Even if the Spring arrivals have mostly met expectations, that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start looking forward to the Summer fare. My … Continue reading →
I feel like my itty bitty casting concerned heart has been settled down with the hot off the press confirmation by Nam Sang Mi‘s agency that she has officially accepted the leading lady role in Joseon Gunman. Whew, now I don’t need to be cursing the drama gods or spend the first few posts about the drama lamenting the could … Continue reading →
Drama casting is never over until the proverbial fat lady sings and confirmations ring out, so the rumored casting of Park Shin Hye in the Lee Jun Ki upcoming period drama Joseon Gunman is no more. I adore her but she’s still you and I’m sure she’ll get a chance to work with Jun Ki somewhere down the line. The … Continue reading →
It’s an understatement to describe watching Goddess of Marriage as a chore. With Goddess of Fire as least the snark bubbles up to counter the idiocy onscreen, but GoM isn’t that and falls into the category of drama watching I shall call “The Trudge”. It’s like plowing through high weeds with a machete along on steep hiking trial. I think … Continue reading →
I think its safe to assume that most people tuning in for the upcoming SBS weekend drama Goddess of Marriage is interested in the main love triangle of Kim Ji Hoon, Nam Sang Mi, and Lee Sang Woo. I don’t blame them, the more I see of the other three couples in the drama the less I’m keen on spending … Continue reading →
We’re less than one week from the premiere of the next SBS weekend drama called Goddess of Marriage and the show has pretty much released all the main stills and teasers that reveal the general gist of what to expect. This is definitely a weekend drama for sure, with a sprawling cast that are all connected in the usual six-degrees … Continue reading →
When I first watched K-dramas I thought each and every single one featured a love triangle. That was way back when, when if memory serves that was indeed the case. Or so it felt that way. Things have evolved since then in many ways, not just with respect to the love triangle, but that too has become something that sometimes … Continue reading →
The upcoming weekend family drama Goddess of Marriage is finally releasing substantive material about its subject matter and tone and I’m getting more and more excited the more I see. The network finally released the script reading stills from last month and its such sprawling cast. This is one of the most fun casts I’ve seen in awhile. Aside from … Continue reading →
We’re two weeks away from the premiere of the next SBS weekend drama called Goddess of Marriage, to follow the almost finished Birth Secret with Sung Yuri. This one will be visually a surprise for me, PD Oh Jin Seok has only directed the daily Miss Ahjumma two years ago, though he was the assistant PD for a bunch of … Continue reading →
It would be an understatement to say I’m wickedly looking forward to the upcoming weekend K-drama Goddess of Marriage. Sure, it sounds just like Can We Get Married? as a bunch of married and single couples probe the institution of marriage in modern Korean culture. But there are plenty of been there-done that concepts but if done right there is … Continue reading →
There will be two goddesses on the air come July, but in totally different eras and worried about totally different things. Moon Geun Young’s sageuk return in Goddess of Fire Jeongi is almost done casting and has already started script reading, garnering lots of attention for the cast and subject matter. Much more low key is the upcoming weekend drama Goddess … Continue reading →
