So this is a much better preview for upcoming jTBC drama Weather People, I’ve also seen it called Forecasting Love and Weather which I like a whole lot better. The first previews were boring and weirdly anemic in showcasing any chemistry between leads Park Min Young and Song Kang. The age gap showed less that she looks old(er) but more … Continue reading →
First off, I hate this new English title for the jTBC drama Office Romance Cruelty. I didn’t like the Korean title either but Weather People is way worse, I’m half expecting the characters to have weather related superpowers or turn into a weather horror drama ala Cat People and Lizard People. But Weather People it is but despite the whole … Continue reading →

I think the start of the Netflix 2021 K-drama bonanza was absolutely Sweet Home, which premiered on December 20, 2020. It was a big hit, got tons of great reviews, and even dovetailed nicely with Netflix produced J-dorama Alice in Borderland which also premiered at that time for a one-two punch of apocalyptic survival. Sweet Home was always touted as … Continue reading →
The Indian summer is finally over and the stirrings of fall footsteps are starting to head my way.

A cohesive picture is always more telling about a story than just reading a chapter at a time.

It never delivered on the buzzy lead hype of Song Kang and Han So Hee pairing up and the push-and-pull dynamics of a realistic … Continue reading →
There are two episodes left of jTBC Saturday college romance drama Nevertheless and it’s proven to be a failed undertaking for the network. What was supposed to be edgy, modern, and sexy ended up fielding more complaints than compliments and the viewer ratings reflected that.

I don’t think jTBC was expecting Saturday mature college romance drama Nevertheless to do gangbuster ratings but the webtoon was popular and a drama adaption ought to be a little bit more resonant with viewers.

The agency Namoo Actors has always been one of my faves because it’s stable of actors and actresses contained some of my baes and its always been steady in choosing going projects for its talent. This week five of its stars were assembled Avengers style in a Chilsong Cider CF that’s a splash of refreshment. Led by Lee Jun Ki, … Continue reading →
Not every cable network drama is a sure winner and this year jTBC has now had two high profile missteps. First with Sisyphus: The Myth and now the newly arrived Saturday college messed up romance Nevertheless. The first episode started of with an okay 2.2% ratings and this week’s second episode dropped precipitously to 1.3%. For a cable drama that … Continue reading →
I think getting cast in tons of high profile stuff does indeed mean one has to weather any criticism that may come your way, and it’s pile on time for 20-something actors Song Kang and Jang Ki Yong. Both are currently in airing K-dramas Nevertheless and My Roommate is a Gumiho, and K-netizens overwhelming think both are sucking big time. … Continue reading →

It’s not up to the overseas audiences whether the latest It Girl and It Boy of K-dramas, who happened to be paired together in the same drama, succeed with the domestic audiences.
