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 →

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 →

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.

In the second week of airing, the MBC Fri-Sat drama rose in ratings to 7.6% and 8.6% … Continue reading →
The joke about action movies is that when the first is a hit then the inevitable sequel will take the exact same ingredients and just make it faster, louder, and general more in every way. That’s exactly what’s happening with upcoming K-movie Confidential Assignment 2, the sequel to the 2017 flick and this time two male leads in Hyun Bin … Continue reading →
I feel bad for these two dramas which actually both look good and create counter programming so something for different tastes. But with Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo dominating across the board in buzz it almost feels like these two new premieres aren’t getting as much attention as it would have normally.

If just premiered KBS drama Cafe Minamdang is way more goofy and quirky than expected, then upcoming MBC drama Big Mouth is continues to drop way more serious, action, and dangerous promos than this drama was announced as.
