It’s been a few … Continue reading →
So the crown of biggest budget K-drama flop is no long Arthdal Chronicles to wear, time to pass it on to When the Stars Gossip. The space IVF, fruit fly, and romance K-drama aired episode 5 this Saturday and got a paltry 1.84% ratings, the lowest of all the dramas airing that night. Arthdal had at that time the biggest … Continue reading →
Man, I don’t even know how to accurate capture the totally WTF-ery that was episode 2 of When the Stars Gossip. I was one of those open to this drama’s tonal weirdness and scientifically preposterous set up in episode 1 and was game to give it time to get settled on its feet. But episode 2 just punted it into … Continue reading →
So When the Stars Gossip is finally here and so far I am perplexed and confused but kinda intrigued. The big budget and big name cast drama was on premiere limbo for over a year after completing primary filming due to the cost versus potential returns conundrum and I still think it really hurt this project because a lot of … Continue reading →
The stars are aligning at last for tvN drama When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars), and in pretty early fashion to boot.

If I didn’t know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama style I would have thought it was a mashup of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Alien. What’s with all the sus staring and mentally plotting intensity in the first new set of drama stills for When the Stars Gossip (Ask the Stars) … Continue reading →
Before the arrival of high profile Netflix K-dramas The Trunk at the end of this month and Squid Game 2 at the end of December, this week a light hearted road trip caper K-drama drops on the streaming platform with a cute name of Mr. Plankton.

Awwwww, I love this cameo reunion and it’s also an inversion of their prior roles. Award winning chameleon actor Oh Jung Se will be making a guest appearance in this weekend’s tvN drama Queen of Tears which will reunite him with his former onscreen costar Kim Soo Hyun. The two very memorably played brothers in It’s Okay to Not be … Continue reading →
It’s been a BANGER of an summer drama season so far in 2023. I am spoiled lol but appreciate every moment of it. Last week fantasy romance drama See You in My 19th Life ended its consistently plotted 12-episode run and this week SBS horror drama Revenant also wrapped with just 12-episodes. Revenant was my Fri-Sat backburner addiction, I relished … Continue reading →
