Following behind the nominations for the Korean Drama Awards come the nominations for the 2018 APAN Star Awards which is on its 6th year now. It’s skewed towards the popular more than elite selection metrics but as always an interesting take on what dramas and actors/actresses are getting recognition in a drama year. The notable names up for the Daesang … Continue reading →
This Wed-Thurs saw the conclusion of the K-drama remake of Suits, a high profile drama with leads Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Sik which led the time slot but didn’t manage to create big ratings. The final episode broke 10% with 10.7% and the other prime time competitors The Undateables (Handsome Guy and Jung Eum) and Come and Hug … Continue reading →
A slotting in of new dramas in two networks has solidified the lead of KBS legal drama Suits in the lead among a generally weak pack of prime time dramas. Suits is staying steading in the 9% range with Thursday’s episode taking in 9.6%. Coming in second though it’s really neck-and-neck is MBC drama Come and Hug Me with 4.6% … Continue reading →
My drama watching has been sidetracked still with more J-dorama goodness but on the K-drama side it’s sporadic and not the usual prime time fare that I usually watch. The Wed-Thurs time slot is making moves with the second week of new arrival Suits on KBS, with the drama growing from the premiere week of 7.4% to 9.7% this Wednesday. … Continue reading →
The male leads of the upcoming KBS drama remake of US legal show Suits definitely are all in in developing the onscreen bromance. It doesn’t hurt that younger lead Park Hyung Sik totally reminds me of a young Jang Dong Gun, so it’s a doppleganger-esque situation with two actors I like. The two leads are featured in the current edition … Continue reading →
The’re a bunch of new K-dramas arriving this month but not until the end of April, and the first of those will be KBS Wed-Thurs arrival Suits taking over from Mystery Queen 2. The drama released a full cast poster adding the supporting leads to the male bromance duo of Park Hyung Sik and Jang Dong Gun, giving them an … Continue reading →
One of the official drama posters for the upcoming KBS drama adaptation of US legal show Suits hilariously made the title read Sluts, but that was a harmless type font fail since the two male leads Park Hyung Sik and Jang Dong Gun were in that poster and one could never accuse them of being sluts ahahaha. Thank god none … Continue reading →
It’s rather apropos to be reminded that praise one day can be criticism the next, everything should be judged on its solo merits. The upcoming KBS drama adaptation of US legal show Suits released an awesomely stylish teaser drama poster two weeks ago that I loved. Sadly two weeks later it’s also the bearer of two bland as heck official … Continue reading →
The upcoming K-drama adaptation of the US legal show Suits is the second most anticipated legal drama this spring for me, after the fists first rumbling Lawless Lawyer on tvN. The pairing of a seasoned top lawyer with a young upstart is the mentor-mentee both wins dynamic of Suits, and in many ways Jang Dong Gun‘s over two decades long … Continue reading →
The first teaser is out for upcoming KBS Wed-Thurs drama Suits and it’s as sleek and chic as my beloved teaser drama poster above. It’s not a surprise as the PD Kim also directed Healer, Good Doctor, Wild Romance, and the first season of Mystery Queen. He’s got a keen eye for stylish flair and visual contrasts. The drama is … Continue reading →
Two new poster sets came out over the weekend and it’s from competing dramas. First to arrive is SBS Wed-Thurs drama Switch (Change the World) premiering this week on March 28th, followed nearly a month later by KBS Wed-Thurs drama Suits remaking the US show. I’m interested in both dramas but Switch has a leg up to establish traction since … Continue reading →
I love a handsome man (of course!) but a handsome man is exponentially more handsome to me when outfitted in a perfectly tailored suit. There is just something so put together and charming in that ensemble, which means I have double the reason to check out the upcoming K-drama adaptation of the US legal show Suits thanks to leading men … Continue reading →
The casting for the K-drama remake of US legal show Suits is suiting up just right even if there’s still many elements to do right if this project wants to avoid the predilection for K-drama remake fail. The latest casting news is that Chae Jung Ahn has been offered a role in Suits, joining already confirmed male leads Jang Dong … Continue reading →
