Count me in for the likely minority that is looking forward to Let’s Eat 2, the sequel to the same name cult popular tvN drama last year, solely because it got a cast change. More specifically, I’m looking forward to LE2 for the same reason I skipped the original LE, once the leading lady was switched from the thoroughly uninteresting … Continue reading →
The nominees are out for the 2014 APAN Star Awards, yet another glittery awards ceremony and this one in particular is a recent new arrival on the awards scene in the last few years. It’s connected to the Daejeon Drama Festival and is limited to dramas that ran from November 1st 2013 through September 31, 2014 on all three major networks … Continue reading →
Hot on the heels of cable network tvN announcing that it would hold its own year end awards, the network trotted out the cast of its upcoming sageuk Three Musketeers for the obligatory press conference. If this drama is as good as the previous two from this production team, namely Nine: Nine Times Travel and Queen In Hyun’s Man, then … Continue reading →
A second batch of official posters arrived this weekend for Three Musketeers and are significantly better than the pictures that appeared on the official website pages. Those looked like something produced in the basement by a bored and lazy first year graphic design student in community college.

There’s finally a full teaser trailer out for the K-sageuk version of Three Musketeers and I must say it’s interesting and kept my attention riveted the entire time.

Such a wise decision, I wish more dramas would have confidence in its story integrity to do that rather than the live … Continue reading →
I’m taking a fifty thousand feet high up approach when viewing the upcoming ambitious cable network tvN sageuk drama Three Musketeers. It is indeed an adaptation of the classic French novel into a Joseon era story involving a crown prince and his swashbuckling brethren and comes from the screenwriter behind cult favorites Nine: Nine Times Travel and Queen In Hyun’s … Continue reading →
With a cast full of seasoned and critically acclaimed veteran actors, Goddess of Fire continues to defy all logic of production quality because the elders are overacting like they were in on some joke together. This is also a cast with fantastic young leads and they have become the engine powering this broke ass train forward. Moon Geun Young, Lee … Continue reading →
With Gu Family Book taking a 422-year time jump into K-drama infamy (at least the nonsensical endings of dramas such as Big or Queen In Hyun’s Man ended with the OTP still intact and in their current incarnations), its more straight-shooting sageuk network successor Goddess of Fire Jeongi readies for its premiere by trotting out its cast for the press … Continue reading →
