Oh boy does this look majorly cute to start and way to depressing a likely ending. New drama stills and teaser have arrived for sageuk love triangle drama Seven Days Queen based on the real life story of Queen Dangyeon. I’m certain that queen’s life as a queen for 7 days isn’t nearly as swoony K-drama romantic in angst as … Continue reading →
I’m getting depressing vibes from the first teaser for upcoming KBS sageuk Seven Days Queen (or Queen for Seven Days), but then again just the premise of a woman being queen for 7 days before removal from her position seems dire without a possible happy ending in sight. The titular queen refers to Joseon era Queen Dangyeon, married to King … Continue reading →
KBS just premiered its new Wed-Thurs drama Mystery Queen to passable ratings but with the follow up drama being a sageuk it’s getting close to the wire to finalize the cast and start filming. This week came the main cast confirmations for Seven Days Queen with the love triangle leads being Park Min Young toggling two royal brothers in Yeon … Continue reading →
Being queen is usually a terrible fate when it comes to sageuk female leads, the ones who had a happy princess life before will find it a romance and personal life killer once they ascend the top spot. That makes it even worse when she gets to be a queen for just 7 days, which is story behind upcoming KBS … Continue reading →
I’m getting major déjà vu vibes from the previews for Introverted Boss (Sensitive Boss), the upcoming workplace comedy drama on tvN airing on Mon-Tues after Rude Miss Young Ae season 15. It reminds me so much of the mood and feels from both Another Oh Hae Young and Marriage Not Dating, and it’s not just because there are so many … Continue reading →
The first drama out of the gate in 2017 will be cable network tvN‘s upcoming Mon-Tues workplace romance Sensitive Boss, taking over on January 16th from Rude Miss Young Ae. It got early publicity with news that the production team is comprised of the PD of Another Oh Hae Young paired with the screenwriter of Marriage Not Dating. That’s fantastic … Continue reading →
I wasn’t terribly interested in last month’s film casting news that Lee Seung Gi and Shim Eun Kyung were going to headline a movie together, but the latest additions to the casting have me sitting up and 100% invested. Filming has started for upcoming sageuk romance Marital Harmony (Compatibility) and the synopsis is basically Shim Eun Kyung in a historical reverse … Continue reading →
It look me a long time to fall for Yeon Woo Jin as an actor but once that switch its flipped then it’s here to stay. I was lukewarm towards him early on but sometime after Arang and the Magistrate and When a Man Loves was when I saw something special and charismatic in his brand of loose-limbed aw shucks … Continue reading →
It’s a done deal for SBS‘s next weekend drama Divorce Lawyer in Love. The drama has confirmed the casting of Yeon Woo Jin and Jeo Yeo Jung as the titular leads in what is being described as a fun bickering rom-com. I certainly do love those, except I’m conditioned like a Pavlovian dog now not to immediately believe what the … Continue reading →
SBS may be lopping off one hour of drama airing on the weekend slot but the remaining hour remains to be filled with successive new fare. This past weekend premiered The Family is Coming in the time slot formerly occupied by Modern Farmer. Since it’s just a short for weekend 20 episodes, SBS has already confirmed the follow up drama … Continue reading →
I was aware that the popular Hallyu K-pop awards show MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) took place in cosmopolitan glittering Hong Kong last week. It came to my attention when the ratings took a big noticeable dip for Pinocchio, meaning the viewers for that drama skew young and that night the group tuned into the 2014 MAMA’s instead. Nothing wrong … Continue reading →
The in-development reverse-aging K-drama Mr. Baek has been punted from SBS over to MBC but I hope that’s the end of its woes and the drama does end up airing after the just premiered My Spring Days. K-dramas have done its share of aging up (Big and I Love Lee Tae Ri) and aging down (Grandpa Flowers Investigation Unit), but … Continue reading →
Running across a totally unexpected cameo is such a treat! Did anyone else know Yeon Woo Jin was making a much too brief appearance in You From Another Star episode 18? He plays the now dead eldest brother Lee Han Kyung and holy moly was it awesome. I’ve been a casual fan of Yeon Woo Jin since his turn as … Continue reading →
