jTBC Romance and Healing K-drama My Youth with Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee is a Disappointment in Ratings and Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 28, 2025 by ockoalaSeptember 27, 2025

I don’t think viewers would have expected jTBC drama My Youth to do well in ratings by the genre or storyboard but for the fact that it starred Song Joong Ki who has had a string of hit K-dramas in the last few years with Vincenzo and Reborn Rich. But not everything he touches is a guaranteed hit and My … Continue reading →

First Look at jTBC K-drama My Youth as Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee Rekindle First Love Flames

When K-dramas want to do the first love trope, which it does a lot and to mixed results, it definitely delivers on the visual. The sun dappled warm coziness of the first posters for upcoming jTBC romance My Youth is so pretty, and kudos for having the story feature two sets of couples. Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee … Continue reading →

Okay, this drama just got wayyyy interesting, though the execution could be wasted. The drama Useless Lies has confirmed the main three leads of Kim So Hyun, Minhyun, and also Seo Ji Hoon, the perpetual second male lead. I like him actually, he is solid onscreen but doesn’t sizzle in the way male leads need to be to get the … Continue reading →

The 2020 KBS Drama Awards was a free for all as well, and a mix of face masks, social distancing, and still walking the red carpet. The bulk of the awards went to the various cast members of weekend drama Once Again and daily drama Homemade Love Story, as both were the sole shining ratings lights for the network. Daddy … Continue reading →

Does actor-idol Yook Sung Jae look like a human version of a cat? Quite possibly, but he’s signed on the dotted line to play one in the spring tvN drama Man Who Bakes Bread. I thought it would be Man Who Loves Catnip but bread works cuz I love me some bread especially man who creates steaming loaves out of … Continue reading →

The teasers for Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter are all so cute, bright and cheerful I wonder why the leads didn’t bring the same mood to the press conference held this week. Everyone was dressed so fuddy duddy especially lead actress Moon Chae Won. Her dress is a dizzying sack and her shoes must be burned I loath the V-cut … Continue reading →

I love the casual hanboks with slightly mussy hair look Moon Chae Won is sporting as the titular Mama Fairy in the upcoming drama Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter (Tale of the Gyeryong Fairy). Her natural radiant warmth fits this look so well, giving her an otherworldly yet down to earth vibe in the modern day setting opposite suited and … Continue reading →
