So my weekend dramas for the last few weekends have been prestige with Revenant then thoughtful meaning of life contemplation with See You in My 19th Life and finally stuff my face with stupid empty calories addiction that is Durian’s Affair (Lady Durian). The TV Chosun fantasy makjang drama is best known for coming from the wacko brain of screenwriter … Continue reading →
After K-drama land’s wildest screenwriter Im Sung Han went on a viewer brain cell destroying rampage in the early 2010’s writing stupider and stupider dramas culminating in the Princess Aurora bloodbath following by the Apgujeong Midnight Sun controversy and her abrupt retirement, she took a 6 year break and has come back to major success with Marriage Lyrics and Divorce … Continue reading →
Lololol I love this news story because there is so much meta especially when one knows the drama writing background of screenwriter Im Sung Han. She’s the writer of hit dramas Love ft.
