This week KBS 1980’s period romance Youth of May wrapped up and perhaps the cheerful posters and seemingly innocent romance setting mislead viewers or the production chose to downplay all the Gwangju Uprising backdrop, the ending was of course T-raumatic with a capital T. That happens, it’s happened to me a lot watching twenty years worth of K-dramas. The early … Continue reading →

I hope So Ji Sub‘s guest appearance in the first episode of Warm and Cozy won’t be the highlight of the upcoming Hong sisters drama. Their dramas haven’t had a consistent ratings track record with the domestic audience, even way back when prime time dramas easily did 20%-30% ratings. With that said, their last drama The Master’s Sun was a … Continue reading →
I can’t say the leads of Warm and Cozy are already warm and cozy around each other, but they certainly are color coordinated and cheerful. If Yoo Yeon Seok can please remove his distracting lipstick then the whole look is dapper and fun, while Kang Sora‘s dress just avoids looking like a gingnam curtain wrapped around her by the waist ribbon … Continue reading →
After sitting on the second teaser for the Hong sisters upcoming K-drama Warm and Cozy, I actually like it more the second and third times I watched the short snippet. I still think the official drama posters are so underwhelming and perfunctory as to be an insult to the leads Kang Sora and Yoo Yeon Seok, being told to pose … Continue reading →
I feel like no matter how Warm and Cozy turns out there will be a devout group of fans that think it’s the best thing since sliced cheese. I’m speaking of the very ardent fans of Kang Sora and Yoo Yeon Seok, and having supportive fans is nothing new and I’m happy for them. With that said, I sure hope … Continue reading →
Does the first teaser preview of upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Warm and Cozy live up to its title? The vista views of Jeju Island does make me feel a warm breeze wafting through, but I’m not yet getting any cozy vibes. Instead the whole thing seems really light and cheerful, mostly thanks to Yoo Yeon Seok smiling his way through … Continue reading →
I’m more curious about what the Hong sisters have in store for upcoming MBC Wed-Thurs drama Warm and Cozy than I am feeling all that interested in the drama. That’s not a bad angle to approach this drama since the Hong sisters are super hit-and-miss with me, if I love their drama then it’s madly and passionately or else it’s … Continue reading →
Looks like the leads of the upcoming Hong sisters new drama Warm and Cozy are off to a rom-com perfected first meeting. Nothing wrong with a patented K-drama meet-cute at some public place complete with something having gone awry, in this case leading lady Kang Sora seems to be in a logistics crunch while leading man Yoo Yeon Seok comes to … Continue reading →
MBC is being nice and friendly with upcoming Wed-Thurs drama Warm and Cozy, releasing the first stills of Yoo Yeon Seok in character as the male lead and BTS stills with leading lady Kang Sora. I may not have gotten the Yoo Yeon Seok appeal yet since I skipped Answer Me 1994, I do believe he’s a truly talented actor … Continue reading →
My interest in upcoming Hong sisters drama Warm and Cozy (Feeling Good and Warm) got cut in half when first leading man choice Kim Woo Bin elected to pass on the offer. Nothing against eventual leading man Yoo Yeon Seok, but I don’t feel much for him either way while I was super stoked to check out Woo Bin in … Continue reading →
