Two high profile upcoming K-dramas happened to release second male lead casting news today so don’t mind if I combine it into one post. The fact that both dramas are about male leads suffering from multiple personality disorder can serve as the loose thread tying these two dramas together. Coming to MBC in January of 2015 is the male-lead-with-7-personalities romance … Continue reading →
There’s an upcoming K-movie that that just finished casting and about to start filming that sounds entertaining on concept alone. The movie is called Beauty Inside and tells the story of an adult marriage-aged man who suffers from an unexplained condition whereby he wakes up every morning as a completely different person on the outside. He changes age, gender, and nationality … Continue reading →
Is it just me or does Park Seo Joon and Lee Jong Seok give up strikingly similar vibes? It’s probably always been there but since I’ve never paid attention to Lee Jong Seok until recently after Dr. Stranger, it feel like discovering a new set of facetwins.

At the … Continue reading →
I’m still scratching my head about Korea’s remake of My Queen, the popular TW-drama that was good but not great enough to really deserve the story getting retold in the upcoming tvN drama Witch’s Romance. I suppose if you told me that Koreans weren’t going to watch the original with subs and needed a K-version to check out the story, … Continue reading →
I’ll confess to being completely uninterested in the upcoming tvN drama Witch’s Romance, the remake of the popular TW-drama My Queen starring Ethan Ruan, Cheryl Yang, and James Wen. My Queen is one of those rare TW-dramas that was truly qualitatively excellent, though the usual extension to milk the stellar ratings ruined the second half momentum. But the acting and … Continue reading →
