At the very start of the Netflix K-drama push in 2019 there was the son and daughter of the platform leading the way with Love Alarm. The drama wasn’t a massive hit but did have plenty of viewers and buzz, but more importantly it showed that the streaming giant was serious about making inroads in K-dramas and could produce projects … Continue reading →
Netflix‘s Korean son as returned lol! It’s a very happy October start for K-actor Song Kang, as evidenced by his beaming smile in the below pictures as he’s driven away from base with fans giving him cards and flowers. Song Kang went into the military right after finishing My Demon and goodness that was almost two years ago now, as … Continue reading →
So Song Kang being in the military has totally been out of sight out of mind for me. He was ubiquitous in drama after drama for the three years prior to enlisting and most of them with Netflix, garnering him the nickname of Netflix’s Son. He was always serviceable for me but I agree that he’s not a strong actor, … Continue reading →
Maybe K-actor Song Kang is thrilled to serve in the military right now haha, get away from all the K-ent crazy these days. The son of Netflix K-dramas has enlisted and shared two adorable shaved head photos (below) before hie-ing off to basic training. He really leaves behind such a shaky oeuvre, with hits of course but more consistently with … Continue reading →
When I first went into My Demon I noticed it’s weak spots and gaps but found the drama as a whole really engaging and worth watching. But as K-dramas are wont to do, as it went along it never got better and the weak parts started to weigh down the show to the point I FF-d the last few episodes … Continue reading →
K-ent agency Namoo Actors has in the past and currently repped many of my favorite stars and is one of the larger agencies in South Korea. The agency gathered many of its actors and actresses together for a Vogue Korea pictorial to kick off January 2024. I spot my love Lee Jun Ki looking fine as usual, there is Song … Continue reading →
Okay, this is kinda big news if true. A K-ent report is saying that Song Kang will not attend the 2023 year end SBS Drama Awards. If true this is a big deal because his drama My Demon is one of the bigger buzz dramas of the year even if the ratings was not as big as hoped for, but … Continue reading →
The weekend K-dramas continue to deliver for me, but it’s the lower ratings ones that have me hooked. SBS Fri-Sat drama My Demon is really as simple as they come and works because of it. Take two gorgeous age-compatible leads in Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang and surround them with a manufactured reason to spend time together resulting in … Continue reading →
I would say that a good drama goes a long way to making me have a soft spot for less than stellar stars and Song Kang and Cha Eun Woo fits that bill exactly. I’ve liked them despite their admittedly limited acting skills because when each plays the right role it just works and the performance is entertaining to watch. … Continue reading →
I still remember when Sweet Home was released around Christmas in 2020 and wow was it a fun ride. I still like the webtoon better (more character development) but the drama cast well and brought the wild humans turning into their id monsters conceit to life. Today Netflix released Sweet Home 2 on December 1st earlier than the holiday season … Continue reading →
So this weekend it’s jam packed in K-drama land there is literally too many interesting dramas all airing at the same time so pick away at what strikes your fancy. SBS premiered My Demon in the Fri-Sat time slot and the opening ratings are 4.5% dropping the next night to 3.4%. This drama was never about ratings but more whether … Continue reading →
Netizens are clamoring for the arrival of SBS fantasy romance drama My Demon and I can’t blame them. It looks soooooo up my alley but I’m not dying for it since I have so many other dramas on my plate so yay for that. There are two new character posters and a new preview that has me giggling over the … Continue reading →
So last week saw two doses of Song Kang drama previews, the romance laden My Demon and the death and destruction laden Sweet Home 2. I need a palate cleanser after the teaser for SH2 and what better than hottie demon Song Kang bickering cutely with haughty heiress Kim Yoo Jung. I love the new stills that hew closely to … Continue reading →
