This drama is hard to predict the Korean domestic viewer reaction to it before it airs. I don’t think it’s a given that upcoming romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up is guaranteed any type of ratings just because the female lead is Song Hye Kyo, so it’s really going to come down to story and directing, and then the … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 23, 2021 by ockoalaOctober 22, 2021
Dramatic scenes from a Korean television series.

Okay, I know Song Hye Kyo is a much bigger star that Jang Ki Yong but this latest preview for SBS drama Now, We are Breaking Up makes it feel like a one-woman show. Sure he’s the male lead but all we see are her angst and emotions, he comes across as a cipher or perhaps the “boyfriend” character that … Continue reading →

The promos for this drama reminds me of Memento. Everything starts from the end, or is the end the beginning and the it begins anew?

Toss me in the camp of highly anticipating upcoming SBS drama Now, We are Breaking Up, which is now a little less than a month from premiere come November 12th.

So K-actor Lee Do Hyun, yeah I totally called that he was going to be the next big thing two years ago when my little eye spied him in Hotel Del Luna.

Vogue Korea cover featuring Song Hyekyo.

This week is actually the 21st premiere anniversary of classic Hallyu K-drama Autumn in My Heart, and I mention it because female lead Song Hye Kyo has basically reverse glowed up herself from that drama to now and doesn’t seem to have an end in sight.
