The just passed Christmas and New Year holiday block is hopefully a time to rest, relax, and recharge. But sometimes it feels like work as well to see friends and family or even traveling for vacation can be work in terms of expenses and effort. I’m just vibing that adulting is hard even when one has breaks and the doctor … Continue reading →
Okay, this drama sounds totally primed for adorableness but then again a similar sounding drama Law Cafe turned out to be a dud. jTBC is prepping Doctor Slump for later this year with leads Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik, and now adding on second male lead Yoon Park. It’s about two former high school classmate top student rivals … Continue reading →
I’ve never liked actor Yoon Park, but more accurately I’ve never liked any character he’s played and that’s influenced how I associate with him, e.g. smarmy asshole types. But then he’s doing such a great job of being exactly that in Forecasting Love and Weather, but with more vulnerability and weakness and also great subtle comedic timing. He’s definitely a … Continue reading →
It’s another disappointment in terms of ratings for tvN in the Mon-Tues time slot, after Doom at Your Service now You Are My Spring is underperforming in terms of rating and critical feedback though the reasons differ. While Doom was a vacuous pretentious nothing burger, Spring comes across like there is too much going on under the surface and yet … Continue reading →
Newly arrived tvN drama You are My Spring is……interesting to say the least. I watched episode 1 and can’t for the life of me decide if I like it or dislike it. If it wasn’t for leads Seo Hyun Jin and Kim Dong Wook both of whom I love, I probably would lean towards dislike but it’s not because the … Continue reading →
I swear I’m NOT trying to write about either Song Kang or Han So Hee as much as it seems I have done so this week but these two are seriously all up in casting grill and I can’t avoid them if I tried lol. jTBC just premiered Nevertheless this weekend with those two buzzy leads and today confirmed that … Continue reading →
Looks like filming will start soon now that the full main cast has been inked. tvN romance mystery drama You are My Spring has confirmed the leads Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Dong Wook, Yoon Park, and Nam Gyu Ri. It’s a drama about people who still have immature childish thoughts who live in the same apartment complex, and then a … Continue reading →
While current jTBC Fri-Sat night drama Sky Castle is rightfully dominating the air waves, it’ll soon wrap up in the first weekend of February and new arrival Legal High will air just after lunar new year. If Sky Castle hits a little too close to home on the competitive nature of South Korean parents and their progeny with respect to … Continue reading →
The last I watched a broadcast workplace drama with romance in it was the epic flaming fail of Marry Him if You Dare, and the only reason I even mention that when seeing new promos for upcoming KBS drama Radio Romance is all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun‘s curly hairstyle. It’s a carbon copy of Yoon Eun Hye‘s … Continue reading →
Currently airing KBS drama Jugglers has deftly maneuvered it’s way to the ratings lead, by a small margin, but the Mon-Tues time slot is still mostly the doldrums in generating any buzz over the three airing prime time dramas. I’m looking forward to January 2018 when KBS ushers Jugglers off stage and brings on Radio Romance with leads Kim So … 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 →
On paper this drama looks like a stellar arrangement from the leads to the supporting cast, made all the more pressing since there are quite a bit of unknowns on the line. Male lead Rain is making his first television return since the anemic My Lovely Girl, and here’s hoping Please Come Back Ahjusshi finds him returning to suitable form … Continue reading →
I’m way more interested in upcoming SBS drama Please Come Back Ahjusshi (Please Come Back, Mister) now that the actual character backgrounds have been revealed. It’s starting to sound even more like a 49 Days redux, with dual leads and love lines that may not make all audiences happy but certainly adds color to the proceedings. It’s been made clear now … Continue reading →
