It’s unfortunate that the first time I heard news about this drama after the initial casting was that the production pounded nails into a historical site during filming and understandably got into trouble with the authorities. But filming continued onwards and now KBS has confirmed the airing date of June 2025 in the Wed-Thurs timeslot for the sageuk romance First … Continue reading →
The more things change the cuter it is when some things stay the same. And this feels like a blast to the past in a good way. K-stars Taecyeon and Seohyun are confirm for the K-drama Steal the Male Lead’s First Night based on the same name webtoon. It’s about a random second female lead that finds herself in the … Continue reading →
A new casting brings together two OG classic SM era K-pop members turned actors with blast from the past feels. Taecyeon and Seohyun are going to star in the K-drama adaptation of the popular webtoon First Night with the Duke, which is set in European period times but for the drama will be set in the Joseon era. The female … Continue reading →
So this drama looks and sounds silly as heck but perhaps that’s part of the charm. Upcoming KBS fantasy romance drama Heartbeat has Taecyeon playing a vampire nearly close to his dream of becoming human and falling for Won Ji An as the plucky human girl that wandered into his life. It’s interesting to see Won Ji An go from … Continue reading →
This drama sounds EXACTLY like My Roommate is a Gumiho but swap out the Eastern myth nine tailed fox for the Western myth vampire. The first stills are out for KBS Mon-Tues drama Can You Feel My Heartbeat with Taecyeon playing a hundred year old vampire who is thisclose (one day missed) to becoming a human. He loves trying new … Continue reading →
Awwww, this sounds like a cute, kooky, and totally fantasy K-drama romance to boot. KBS is planning the K-drama My Heart is Beating which like the title suggests is the romance between a half-vampire and a human. Sounds like a reverse My Roommate is a Gumiho in that the half vampire played by Taecyeon desperately wants to be human and … Continue reading →
Well this may just get me to start this drama heh. tvN Fri-Sat thriller (procedural, legal, serial killer mystery) Blind has been sailing rather under the radar. It started with 3.385% ratings but has since dropped to the mid-2% range for the majority of its run, with only 4-episodes left to air. Starring Taecyeon, Jung Eun Ji, and Ha Suk … Continue reading →
Can’t believe the summer is quickly coming to a close so it’s time to look at the early fall K-dramas on the horizon. tvN Fri-Sat is currently airing I Have Not Done My Best Yet which aired earlier on streaming already so it’s basically a place holder for the time slot. Once its done the mystery drama Blind will arrive … Continue reading →
Man, the zombie genre has become likes the zombies themselves, spawning and unable to be killed. It helps sustain the genre when there are always a hit to be mined from time to time and the most recent zombie outbreak at a school Netflix drama All of Us are Dead confirms it. Now Taecyeon is in talks to star in … Continue reading →
The Mon-Tues time slot for tvN has been weak for the past year, not since Record of Youth has it really delivered solid dramas and/or rating hits. I’ve only liked Awaken (Night and Day) since then but the other dramas in that period include Birthcare Center, LUCA, Doom at Your Service, You are My Spring, Navillera, and most recently High … Continue reading →
Expectation will be this drama’s best friend if it succeeds and it has a chance. Upcoming tvN sageuk drama Secret Royal Inspector Joy is giving off full blown comedy vibes, physical, verbal, and supremely silly especially in a sageuk setting almost like a fish out of water. There was the same vibe in the first few episodes of Queen Cheorin … Continue reading →
Every time I see the title of tvN sageuk Inspector Joy I read it as Inspector Gadget which totally dates me but ah those were the idyllic times of after school cartoons. A good hearted bumbling inspector is what I also expect from this sageuk which combines Taecyeon as the titular inspector and Kim Hye Yoon as a woman named … Continue reading →
Okay, there is no way to soft pedal this but HOMG is upcoming sageuk drama Inspector Joy (Secret Royal Inspector and Jo Yi) going to be a laugh riot likely for the wrong reasons. The latest released stills of male lead Taecyeon is like a lesson for what NOT TO DO in a sageuk. He’s basically doing a Stephen Chow … Continue reading →
