Oh man, I can’t believe it’s already take off time for upcoming tvN drama Love’s Emergency Landing (Crash Landed Love). I hope/pray the drama doesn’t ever end up reflecting it’s title, what with any crash landings on ratings or expectations with big name headliners Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin together on the small screen. They play the OTP, of … Continue reading →
K-actor Hyun Bin‘s last drama Memories of Alhambra had not one but three woeful “romances” for his male lead character. He’s getting some karma with his upcoming drama Crash Landed Love (Love’s Emergency Landing) with first reuniting with Son Ye Jin as his female lead and now getting Seo Ji Hye as the second female lead. Look left, gorgeous, look … Continue reading →
A hearty congrats for KBS Wed-Thurs melodrama fantasy romance Black Knight (The Man Who Guards Me), winning the time slot handily and even more impressive is continuing to increase in ratings. This third week’s ratings broke 10% on Wednesday with 10.6% AGB nationwide and rose to 11.1% for Thursday. Nothing to Lose (Judge vs. Judge) stayed consistent around the 6% … Continue reading →
I find the fashion visuals at the press conference for KBS drama Black Knight as nicely assembled as the drama has looked in all the preview trailers so far. Shin Se Kyung‘s black and white chaste shirt dress with bow, Kim Rae Won in navy and grey with smoking matching suede smoking shoes, and Seo Ji Hye in fire engine … Continue reading →
Beautiful and utterly befuddling remains my pre-airing verdict for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Black Knight, airing next week now that Mad Dog has wrapped up. The visuals are out of this world, doing what K-dramas do best in packaging the leads, locales, and outfits into envious bundles of gorgeousness. But the drama narrative from what has been revealed also does … Continue reading →
It’s too late but if I could I would ask Kim Rae Won to run far far away from this K-drama, and take Seo Ji Hye with him. Alas the dawn of KBS fantasy melo-romance Black Knight (The Man Who Guards Me) is upon us in a little over a week and the production has released truly extraordinary drama posters. … Continue reading →
I’m still not sure what to expect from upcoming KBS romantic melo-fantasy drama Black Knight, other than all the teasers and promo pictures make it seem like the cast is filming a music video rather than a drama. It harkens back to the overkill visuals of the early Hallyu drama days as pioneered by the seasons dramas, think Winter Sonata … Continue reading →
Leave it to Seo Ji Hye to steal the drama even before it airs from the two leads, or at least from the female lead for sure. The first stills are out for Seo Ji Hye as the antagonist character in upcoming KBS fantasy melo romance Black Knight (The Man Who Guards Me), playing the character of Sharon (love the … Continue reading →
Recently I’m back to feeling like Shin Se Kyung cast in any drama is cause for consternation. If that’s too strong an opinion then it’s certainly a cause for concern, her last drama performance in Bride of the Water God was particularly blank and awful, the kind of performance that can erase goodwill and set herself back a couple of … Continue reading →
Filming is ready to start for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs early winter drama Black Knight, which sounds all sorts of odd and interesting. The interesting part is the story and the odd part the casting, I would have switched up the two female actress roles due to their respective acting talents. Female lead Shin Se Kyung works at a travel agency … Continue reading →
I’m super curious now that specific details are being released about upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Black Knight. It’s final casting of leads Kim Rae Won, Shin Se Kyung, and Seo Ji Hye are early enough as the drama doesn’t premiere until late fall after Mad Dog, which is assuring that there isn’t much controversy behind the scenes. The drama is … Continue reading →
K-dramas tend to prefer certain stereotyped leads with an emphasis to the extremes, rich ones are always chaebols and the poor ones extremely poor and under privileged. And when the rich meets the poor the drama produces the white knight or daddy long legs to come rescue the damsel, but in the case of the upcoming KBS drama Black Knight … Continue reading →
The 2016 year end K-drama awards for the big three networks came and went last weekend, smack dab in the middle of me heading off for my trans-pacific flight, taking said long flight, traveling back home from long flight, and then being massively jetlagged from said flight. All in all I lost 36 hours and also the ability to collect … Continue reading →
