The current bunch of prime time K-dramas hasn’t been all that buzzy but that doesn’t equate to failure. SBS leads the ratings for both Mon-Tues with Six Flying Dragons, and especially on Wed-Thurs with Remember (Son’s War), which was netting even better ratings than Dragons. In fact, the final episode of Remember which aired this Thursday broke 20% ratings, that … Continue reading →
My affection for any of my fave actors or actresses don’t blind me to any shortcomings with acting or script in any drama or movie. I can still enjoy it with caveats, and that’s the case with Yoo Seung Ho‘s first prime time drama return after military service. Remember (Son’s War). He’s been pretty underwhelming, the acting is there but not the … Continue reading →
It’s good news for SBS heading into 2015 year end, the network this week just won the ratings time slot for both its Mon-Tues and Wed-Thurs prime time dramas. It’s not by much, but having a dual win is so rare these days as ratings remain mostly depressed across the industry. Mon-Tues has been a lock with sageuk Six Flying … Continue reading →
Last week SBS quietly wrapped up the run on Wed-Thurs drama The Village (Achiara’s Secret), a drama that never got much traction or buzz but was reportedly well made enough to not be a blight on the resume of the cast and crew despite the low ratings. This week sees the premiere of Remember with Yoo Seung Ho as the … Continue reading →
The press conference for Yoo Seung Ho‘s upcoming SBS drama Remember wasn’t nearly as cute-inducing as his press conference last week for MBC cable drama Imaginary Cat. But then again, Imaginary Cat trotted out a real life “I could give a fug” squirming fat cat and deposited him in Seung Ho’s arms, so that’s a huge wall of awwwwwww to … Continue reading →
I excepted more pretty with the posters for SBS drama Remember, but one out of three ain’t bad and these days I’m grateful for the little bits of delivered quality. The official drama posters are out for Remember, and it might have been better if the network just released the one on top featuring leads Yoo Seung Ho and Park … Continue reading →
I fee like an overprotective momma Koala when it comes to Yoo Seung Ho, not concerning his love life but totally centered on his acting career. I get particularity nitpicking about his female leads, but so far his return to acting on the big projects like sageuk movie The Joseon Magician with Go Ara and upcoming SBS drama Remember with … Continue reading →
I sense that SBS knows exactly what it has to work with on upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Remember and is doing a bang up job of maximizing it on all the promos. The latest batch features angsty Yoo Seung Ho looking drop dead handsome in a tux, adorable Park Min Young doing her best plucky girl heroine, and baddie Namgong Min … Continue reading →
Remember is looking mighty familiar and I’m unable to guess whether that’ll be a good or bad thing. It feels like so many K-drama thrillers that have come this way in recent years – good guy/girl racing against the clock and against the bad guys in order to save a life. Coming from SBS, it reminds me most of God’s … Continue reading →
At this point all I can do is make incoherent gibberish noises and smile like a loony to no one in particular. The first stills are out of male lead Yoo Seung Ho for upcoming SBS drama Remember. He plays a genius lawyer with photographic memory who is racing against the clock to clear his wrongly accused father’s name, while … Continue reading →
When it rains it apparently pours Yoo Seung Ho, or at least it seems that way in the K-ent weather system. This past week dropped two sets of drama script reading stills both featuring Yoo Seung Ho, he’s the male lead in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Remember, as well as the male lead in cable network MBC Every1‘s Imaginary Cat. … Continue reading →
This has been an uneventful year in dramas for me, and it’s hard to wrap my head around the year ending soon and already K-ent pundits are looking towards 2016 for discussion fodder. The network that has been getting killed in prime time ratings for the last two years is actually garnering the most interest thanks to the one-two-three leading … Continue reading →
Don’t get typecast Namgoong Min! I have major fondness for SBS drama The Girl Who Sees Smells, despite a story that mostly made no sense and bumbling police work, the acting and chemistry of the cast made up the deficiencies and turned it into a fun watch for me. One standout was the chef character played by Namgoong Min, always … Continue reading →
