It’s kinda adorable to think that original K-pop hunk Rain is the daddy to two daughters and by all accounts the kind of daddy who dotes on his little princess(es). Rain and Kim Tae Hee wed in early 2017 and had their first child a daughter later that year. They waited two more years and this week welcome the arrival … Continue reading →
At this point I need some heartwarming drama to reaffirm my faith in life. Too bad Brilliant (The Light in Your Eyes) aired earlier this year because it was fan-freaking amazing and I wish I could savor it anew right when I’m dealing with real life and drama world life existential crises. Maybe upcoming MBC drama Welcome 2 Life will … Continue reading →
It’s the end of an era, and there seems to be a lot of that going on in recent years. Change happens too fast and it’s sometimes impossible to keep up. With TV viewership migrating to streaming and non-scripted show related other entertainment, the drop in traditional television ad revenue has been catastrophic and now the other shoe has dropped. … Continue reading →
This drama feels like a reverse version of Knowing Wife (Familiar Wife) and that’s both a good and potentially bad thing. Last year’s hit tvN drama Knowing Wife was made incredible and utterly perfect by the acting and chemistry of the two leads Ji Sung and Han Ji Min which helped ground the fantastical concept of a man driving through … Continue reading →
This may have just been an excuse to make a quick jewelry shopping trip but K-actor and singer Rain was just in Taipei last week attending an event for Tiffany & Co. With wife Kim Tae Hee home with their little toddler and pregnant with their second child, he better not go home empty handed and be ready to hand … Continue reading →
Rain is going to make it a three times the charm of things he’s got on his plate. There’s his biking movie Uhm Bok Dong, then his wife Kim Tae Hee is expecting their second child, and now he’s considering a K-drama return with MBC legal and fantasy drama Two Lives to Live Anyway. The drama is about a top … Continue reading →
Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it. Over the years the crying has gone from contrived parental disapproval and/or terminal illness to a plethora of reasons to milk those ducts dry. … Continue reading →
Cable network jTBC ended its run of the Fri-Sat thriller police drama Sketch this weekend, averaging ratings in the 2.5% range which qualifies as a solid success for the cast and crew. Lately tvN and even jTBC have seen ratings upwards of 5-6% that it’s easy to forget these are paid cable networks so ratings are lower plus the some … Continue reading →
I heaved big sigh of relief with the weekend premiere of jTBC thriller police drama Sketch, for the fact that both male leads are faves of mine and totally due for a drama that audiences like and reward with ratings. Starring Rain, Lee Dong Gun, and Lee Sun Bin, Sketch was under promoted and even I nearly forgot about its … Continue reading →
Please drama gods do not make Lee Dong Gun the bad guy in upcoming jTBC drama Sketch. I can handle him being the antagonist/nemesis to Rain’s male lead but not the ultimate big bad, because I need the two to join forces later on after overcoming initial disagreement with each other. The reunion of the two male leads from Sang … Continue reading →
Who else has a sense of deja vu seeing the first drama stills from the upcoming jTBC supernatural-tinged police thriller Sketch. Of course the first stills are of leading man Rain but I legit felt like I was either seeing a more scruffy version of Rain’s character in Fugitive: Plan B or Rain photoshopped into one of the many pictures … Continue reading →
There’s currently something about noonas and rain going on at jTBC Fri-Sat but come mid-May all the flirting and slice-of-life romance will give way to stopping killers by sketching out the future three days in advance. Filming has started on thriller K-drama Sketch starring Rain, Lee Dong Gun, and Lee Sun Bin along with veteran actor Jung Jin Young. The … Continue reading →
We’ve got a full cast peeps and it’s looking mighty fine, at least on the male leads side. Rain and Lee Dong Gun are teaming up once again more than a decade after Sang Doo, Let’s Go to School and also doing the double male lead drama casting that’s more and more popular lately. Rain plays a detective who pairs … Continue reading →
