The announcement of the second and third seasons of horror thriller Sweet Home means Song Kang will continue his streak at Netflix‘s favorite South Korean son. It may seem inexplicable or anathema to the International viewers for why he’s so popular but so far he has many successes and even the less successful dramas the failure was not attributed to … Continue reading →
I think Sweet Home really kicked off the Netflix produced K-drama craze, it aired in December 2020 and we all know the explosion that happened in 2021. Sweet Home trended high on viewership when it aired and there was always talk of successive season(s) but while other later aired Netflix dramas got next season announcements sooner it’s now time for … Continue reading →
I knew it wasn’t just me that so many articles I write in the last year or so keep including the same stars frequently. A recent K-ent post (article click here) discusses what is going on right now – there are so many K-dramas in production due to the new popularity on Netflix, more streaming sites getting into producing their … Continue reading →
Much has been discussed about how K-actor Song Kang has become the It Boy the last two years and especially on Netflix where all his recent dramas have streamed. Agencies and production companies can push him for sure but it sure seems K-netizens are really warming/warmed to him. This week there was a new poll of K-netizens on the topic … Continue reading →
After jTBC drama Nevertheless finished airing I forgot about it and it felt that the domestic audience did as well. The drama averaged about 1.4% ratings and was considered a disappointment for the network despite having buzzy IT leads Song Kang and Han So Hee. I did remember was it in the Netflix top 10 in various Asian countries at … Continue reading →
The bar was set so low for the pairing of younger actor Song Kang and noona actress Park Min Young that the positive premiere ratings for jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather must’ve been a relief for the network and their fans. It is also good news for Netflix which has the streaming rights and the platform released a set … Continue reading →
It’s a sigh of relief after the weekend premieres of two new cable dramas, and probably the biggest winners from opening weekend’s good ratings and good reviews (critics and K-netizens) are the young male leads Nam Joo Hyuk and Song Kang. They even give off similar auras as tall, boy-next-door type male actors and I can see them being up … Continue reading →
Well this is unexpected! I’m still waiting to binge both episodes of jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather, since it’s Superbowl Sunday and all and priorities, m’kay. That’s why I don’t know what led up to what may be the fastest workplace romance development in the history of K-drama rom-coms but it was hard not to be spoiled by viewers … Continue reading →
It’s important to preface that the two new Sat-Sun K-dramas are NOT directly competing with each other for eyeballs. For tvN drama Twenty Five, Twenty One, it airs at 9:10 pm, and over at jTBC the drama Forecasting Love and Weather comes on at 10:30 pm. That makes for what I love most, each drama really competing with itself, does … Continue reading →
This coming weekend two new K-dramas are premiering, with Twenty Five, Twenty One on tvN and over at jTBC it’s Forecasting Love and Weather. The two dramas will not be going head-to-head, Twenty Five airs at 9:10 pm and Forecasting takes over the 10:30 pm time slot, but a K-ent reporter is noting that the two dramas have younger leading … Continue reading →
The great Song Kang experiment of the last year and a half continues with his upcoming male lead role in jTBC weather station romance Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty). While viewers may feel female lead Park Min Young has been playing the same role for many dramas in a row now, the capable office worker, Song Kang feels … Continue reading →
Once the leads are cast in dramas its out of my hands and I just pray it all works out. For age difference gapped leads I also hope the drama explains why their characters fall for each other (personality and situation) and also style them to look visually compatible. With upcoming jTBC drama Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty), … Continue reading →
This drama gives off exactly the same vibes as last year’s jTBC Romance Sunbae Please Don’t Put on That Lipstick (She Will Never Know) just with a different workplace setting and different OTP leads. Change out the cosmetics office space for the weather forecasting meteorological bureau in upcoming Forecasting Love and Weather (Office Romance Cruelty) and it’s the same chemistry … Continue reading →
