I wanted See You in My 19th Life to be better than it is but what it is remains worth watching. The Sat-Sun drama is now through episode 6 and the ratings are high 4% on Saturdays and low 5% on Sundays consistently. But the story feels like it’s stuck in Shin Hye Sun‘s characters 18th life and she’s not … Continue reading →

The Beauty Within was amazingly heartfelt but Doom at Your Service fell completely flat, just naming two from the opposite ends of the spectrum. tvN upcoming drama See You in My 19th Life takes the premise of a woman who remembers all her past … Continue reading →
There feels like a lull with K-dramas right now, really after The Glory part 2 dropped at the beginning of March it’s been relatively low buzz and energy.
