The start of 2026 in K-drama land hasn’t been smooth. Netflix had a good showing with Can This Love be Translated but shortly thereafter male lead Kim Sun Ho got into a tax evasion scandal. Only Ji Sung and The Judge Returns is doing well in K-drama land but not enough to generate stronger buzz. So SBS really needs to … Continue reading →
For a drama with such a serious and dark title the two leads sure are sending massive romantic chemistry vibes. Park Hae Jin and Lim Ji Yeon currently star in SBS Thursday drama The Killing Vote, an ensemble piece about a vigilante enacting his own death penalty. I haven’t checked it out yet but coming across this Allure Korea pictorial … Continue reading →
Well this is definitely slim pickings at MBC this year for the Year End Drama Awards, but what else is new. This year even the contenders for the Daesang are retreads, in the sense that it’s three male leads who have all won MBC Daesangs in the past. So Ji Sub for Doctor Lawyer, then there is Lee Jong Seok … 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 →
MBC premiered a new Wed-Thurs K-drama this week called Kkondae Intern starring Park Hae Jin and Kim Eun Soo but all the media attention has been on maybe problematic commercial within the drama sequence that brings back the similar issues from another MBC drama The Man Who Dies to Live. Park Hae Jin plays a product advertising executive who comes … Continue reading →
I find the drama title rather random but the casting sounds promising enough. Park Hae Jin and Jo Boa will be pairing up for upcoming rom-com drama Secret set in the world of a 119 emergency hotline special rescue team. It will be Park Hae Jin’s first rom-com drama since his debut if you count Famous Chil Princesses as a … Continue reading →
The Asia Artist Awards are the true purveyors of a popularity contest and if it wasn’t for actors and actresses getting random awards along with the idol and pop stars I’d probably not cover it. This year the highlight was the four very very famous idol-actresses above showing up at the same event – IU in white, Suzy in grey-moss, … Continue reading →
If ever a K-drama should just cut it losses I would suggest upcoming intended to be pre-produced Four Sons just call it quits now. The latest filming problem may be its biggest to date with reports that male lead Park Hae Jin has simply stopped showing up on set and not filmed anything since early November. The drama made the … Continue reading →
Some things are better left alone even if it wasn’t done properly, especially if the second go-around is going to be even worse in a different way. The Cheese in the Trap movie with returning male lead Park Hae Jin with new costars Oh Yeon Seo, Park Ki Woong, and Yoo In Young has spent three weeks in the Korean … Continue reading →
I haven’t read Cheese in the Trap webtoon so I can’t say whether the lead characters are less interesting than the second leads the way things played out in the live-action K-drama version that aired in 2016 on tvN. I do have a feeling that the second leads for the upcoming movie version may steal the show, for the drama … Continue reading →
I don’t live in a country that celebrates White Day, i.e. White Valentine’s Day or exactly a month after February 14th Valentine’s Day. Hence my mistake in the last post on the upcoming Cheese in the Trap movie which is scheduled to premiere next month on March 14th which is White Valentine’s Day and I saw the Valentine’s Day and … Continue reading →
I’m not sure who the target audience is for the Cheese in the Trap movie but if there are any then the film has been confirmed to hit the theaters on Valentine’s Day weekend of 2018. That’s less than a month away and there hasn’t been any promos yet so that’s not going to bring in the audience by stealth. … Continue reading →
This is a post solely to prep for this week’s Asia Artist Awards, thank to the star-studded line up that will be making an appearance either to present or to perform. On the acting stars alone it’s worth checking out – Lee Seung Gi will be making his first entertainment appearance since his military discharge two weeks ago, and also … Continue reading →
