Call me old or old-fashioned but sometimes the best stuff is the stuff that’s tried and true. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good classic Hallyu rom-com, the kind of love-hate with opposites attract and plenty of implausible coincidences. Upcoming K-drama King the Land is primed to hit that sweet spot and it seems to be leaning into that … Continue reading →
The upcoming jTBC romance King the Land probably spent most of its budget on hiring two top idol-actor leads in Yoona and Junho because it’s sorely lacking in the art department lol. But that may not matter when the end result arrives and they show the money was well spent on two charming leads that can turn the overdone prince … Continue reading →
I don’t know who greenlit this drama but it’s either going to be the throwback romance longtime K-drama lovers didn’t realize we needed or a pointless retread of tropes that don’t work anymore. I’m hoping for the former when jTBC premieres King the Land in mid-June but even with optimism the first poster and new trailer just looks so cheesy … Continue reading →
I’m super excited for this K-drama and ready for all the old school feels with two leads I like. Junho and Yoona will be back on the small screen in June for the jTBC Fri-Sat romance King the Land, which I hope gets a better English title lol. He’s the successful chaebol heir to a hotel empire and she’s the … Continue reading →
Seeing two same generation former top K-pop idols turned legit award winning actor/actress now working together on what sounds like a classic K-drama romance is a great thing to look forward to in 2023. Junho and Yoona will be starring in the K-drama King the Land, which I’m sure will get a better title as it progresses, making a cute … Continue reading →
The first year end awards show took place the night of the 30th over at MBC which didn’t have a lot of dramas to work with in 2022 to fete but still managed to pull off the night. Winning Daesang was Lee Jong Seok for Big Mouth which was as expected. The drama also won Best Drama and Top Excellence … Continue reading →
The awards sweeping juggernaut that is K-movie Decision to Leave continues to domination, taking home Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Park Hae Il and Best Actress for Tang Wei at this Friday’s 2022 Blue Dragon Awards in Seoul. There were lots of stars in attendance and the fashion was par for the course at a K-awards event. … Continue reading →
Man this sucks to hear. This weekend was the conclusion of MBC Fri-Sat drama Big Mouth with Lee Jong Seok and Yoona which ended up being both better than expected when it started and now worse than hoped for in how it ended. I’m so far from being caught up I may table this based on the howls of anger … Continue reading →
Aside from the cheesy low budget early posters for Confidential Assignment 2: International, I figured this movie would appeal to the general public and be a moneymaker and good buzz for all involved. Then the last two weeks the cast and crew went all out on the promo circuit, I counted at least four different press conferences and events and … Continue reading →
It’s happening and I for one am super excited. The upcoming romance drama King the Land has landed a broadcast channel, it will be airing on jTBC sometime in 2023. It’s high profile thanks to casting two good looking idols with Junho pairing up with Yoona, not to mention both are currently in career highs. He had The Red Sleeve … Continue reading →
Haha, maybe the graphic designer on the movie Confidential Assignment 2: International Cooperation heard all the complaints about how low budget and dumb the official movie posters were. So for the individual movie character posters at least each character looks less stiff albeit three dudes are literally doing the exact same pose. It’s the gun drawn one of course, with … Continue reading →
This Friday’s ratings for MBC drama Big Mouth was 9.8%, which puts this drama on the same trajectory as SBS Fri-Sat drama earlier this year Again My Life. An okay start but good word of mouth plus a fantastic male lead pulling in the viewers along the way. This Friday’s episode 5 got 9.8% ratings and the reviews continue to … Continue reading →
I’m less allergic to prison themed shows/movies as I am super avoiding of war themed ones but for Lee Jong Seok I’m going to check out Big Mouth for sure, especially now that my other weekend drama has deteriorated to spinning in circles. In the second week of airing, the MBC Fri-Sat drama rose in ratings to 7.6% and 8.6% … Continue reading →
