So….what do you all think? Even giving it the biggest benefit of the doubt ever, is there even a chance that the upcoming gangster melodrama When a Man Loves will be anything but a hot mess? Right now WAML is running neck-and-neck with Jang Ok Jung, Live in Love as the two dramas with the greatest upside-downside swing. It can … Continue reading →
Please tell me this is the drama god’s idea of a joke, because there is some symmetry to be had but the end result might be pain for drama lovers the world over.

Things I’m looking forward to in the upcoming Fashion King with Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, Yuri, and Lee Je Hoon: the fashion, NYC, and Yoo Ah In’s return to television after over a year break since Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

Jang Hyuk, Han Suk Hyu, and Shin Se Kyung get an A+++ across-the-board for showing up classy, gorgeous, and coordinated at the press conference for Tree with Deep Roots, which is premiering next Wednesday on SBS. With The Princess’s Man ending next week, that will leave the Wed-Thurs … Continue reading →
The arrival of the teaser trailer for the upcoming sageuk Tree with Deep Roots does mean that Protect the Boss will be ending soon. Strangely I’m not that sad about it. I think 16 eps is the perfect length to tell the PTB story, and it’s truly such a treasure of a rom-com I want to enjoy it as it’s … Continue reading →
Even though Protect the Boss just started airing last week, it’s successor drama Tree with Deep Roots, which has been in pre-production since March, finally commenced filming this week.
