In the two years since Disney+ ventured into financing or licensing its own exclusive K-dramas the platform hasn’t gotten the breakout it is likely looking for. There have been K-dramas well received and reviewed that aired solely on Disney+ but the reach still seems niche much like in the early days of a smaller cable network. But if ENA can … Continue reading →

The tvN Sat-Sun time slot tends to be trendier K-dramas and this one is as old-school as it gets. When My Love Blooms is every way a throwback to one of the most famous K-dramas of all time Winter Sonata, the young love thwarted with a second chance two decades later, except without the amnesia and having the leads in … Continue reading →
I’m such a sucker for second chance romances and especially when it stars an actress as versatile and sincere as Lee Bo Young. This will be her first drama in two years and the first since she had her second child with actor husband Ji Sung. She did the terrific but somber Mother in 2018 and is coming back with … Continue reading →

There may be a new standard in quality and quantity of star attendees to the VIP movie premiere of period war escape movie Battleship Island. I saw one of my faves Yoo Seung Ho trading his ruler period garb for comfy movie clothes to attend and clicking on the link turned up a smorgasbord Vegas feast of Korean stars going … Continue reading →
It’s hard to keep watching my beloved Hyun Bin pick movie after movie, but maybe my patience will be rewarded next year after he finishes this one and perhaps considers a K-drama then.
