Emotional close-up with period and thriller posters

It’s great news for Ji Sung and also an impressive overall streak for SBS as new Mon-Tues drama Defendant debuted with respectable first episode ratings of 14.5% AGB nationwide. That’s less than half of what predecessor Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim ended with, but that drama started off with similar ratings as Defendant and kept increasing as it aired so time … Continue reading →

Intense hospital scene with medical professionals.

Get ready for more doctor dramas in the near future if that’s the reason for the winning success of Romantic Teacher Doctor Kim, on top of the winning success of Doctors.

Night Light Drops Intense Long Teaser with Lee Yo Won Stealing the Show

Woman holding a gun in dramatic scene.

I think Lee Yo Won may hog the spotlight in upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Night Light (Illumination), but then no one will mind because she’s doing it not on buzz but on substance. Sure there are the other two leads Jin Goo and UEE, but neither suck the air out of the screen when they appear the way Lee Yo … Continue reading →

Girl Power Plays Take Center Stage in Drama Posters and Teasers for MBC’s Night Light

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 17, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 16, 2016
Three characters in a dramatic setting.

There’s an odd vibe I’m getting from upcoming MBC Mon-Tues drama Night Light which feels like the drama is about the two female leads and the male leads is the third wheel. The drama is billed as a power trip of sorts where the two female leads are striving to climb the wealth and power ladder and both get tangled … Continue reading →

The first teaser is out for upcoming MBC melodrama Night Light (Illumination) and it’s intense and riveting. The background music is excellently selected and the snippets of scenes shown whet the appetite to see more.

Things are looking very bright and cheerful with upcoming MBC drama Night Light, in contrast to the initial synopsis that it was some sort of drama about human greed and the pursuit of power. I’m totally not complaining, seeing the beaming and sweet stills of leads Lee Yo Won and Jin Goo playing the guitar on the street as a … Continue reading →

Smiling guitarist performing in a casual setting.

MBC has been so meh in its Mon-Tues ratings for a few years now, and maybe guitar playing cutie Jin Goo is the shot in the dark to change things up. From currently airing Woman with a Suitcase, going backwards the network has been middling with no real hits – Monster, Glamorous Temptation, Hwajung, Pride and Prejudice, Shine or Go … Continue reading →

Vertical triptych with three neutral outfits

MBC is going dark when it comes to prepping for its late fall/early winter drama of the season. The network has slated Night Light for the Mon-Tues slot come November following Woman with a Suitcase. The title of Night Light has nothing to do with either insomnia or warding off ghosts, it’s instead symbolizing the lengths by which people seek power and … Continue reading →
