The trio of priest, cop, and taxi-driving shaman is reuniting for the big screen and I have mixed feelings about it. OCN horror drama The Guest was a riveting watch for me last year and one of my favorites from 2018, and it ended with a cliffhanger on one hand with the big bad and a sorta happy ending for … Continue reading →
Cable network tvN has been the ratings leader not just of its own paid competitors but doing even better than some prime time big three network dramas that it’s quite a surprise to suddenly see the smaller cable networks upping their game in such notable fashion.

That’s a really decent start on cable and even beat the KBS drama The Ghost Detective which is … Continue reading →
The newly premiered OCN Wed-Thurs drama The Guest (or Hand: The Guest) feels like it came one month late. It should have premiered in August during the traditional lunar new year ghost month because it is hella creepy and thoroughly perfect for sending shivers down the spines of viewers. I’ve watched the first two episodes and loved it but goodness … Continue reading →
Cable channel OCN has really cemented itself as a legit player in the K-drama industry with a slew of hit shows that focus on the thriller or procedural genre.
