The Train just left the OCN station last weekend for the parallel worlds serial killer drama but it’s a shorter than usual run with 12-episodes so promos are starting for the followup drama Missing: The Other Side.

While current jTBC Fri-Sat night drama Sky Castle is rightfully dominating the air waves, it’ll soon wrap up in the first weekend of February and new arrival Legal High will air just after lunar new year.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

The tears in a melodrama can at times feel forced, or at least contrived due to a wholly unrealistic set of circumstances that all aggregate together to manufacture a tragedy. That’s the narrative premise behind upcoming tvN drama Hundred Million Stars Falling From the Sky (The Smile Has Left Your Eyes) and yet the tears if forthcoming will likely not … Continue reading →

Scandal is a loaded word, for some K-netizens it connotes something as inconsequential as a star dating news, yet in recent years there have been a series of male star scandals of the serious variety involving accusations, police investigations, and even lawsuits and trails. I feel like Park Shi Hoo‘s rape allegations in early 2013 really kicked off this prolonged … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Fashion is like the sinkhole of K-dramas. I seriously cannot think of a single K-drama that centered around the fashion world or even tangentially related to fashion where it wasn’t either a hot mess of epic proportions (Fashion King, Cinderella Man) or just plan bad (Cheongdamdong Alice, Style). That seems so counterintuitive to me. Fashion seems perfect for a K-drama … Continue reading →
