Currently airing jTBC drama Fantastic hasn’t turned out to live up to its name but maybe premiering soon tvN drama The K2 can borrow it instead because the just released long 5-minute preview is as fantastic as it gets. Equal parts action and plot set up, the preview shows us how the leads relate to and connect with each other, … Continue reading →
The image of Yoona in tvN drama The K2 is bringing back so much deja vu feels from Yongpal, namely the visuals of Kim Tae Hee from that drama. It’s the long white hospital type gown, the flowing lustrous hair, the wan complexion looking dazed and confused, now I’m wondering if the screenwriter from Yongpal has some unknown complex for … Continue reading →
Judging by the just released drama posters for tvN political thriller The K2, there’s going to be darkness aplenty as four strong personalities get entangled in a South Korean presidential election cycle. That the drama posters are wholly unimaginative is almost beside the point if the allure is the acting and intense character conflict to come as ambition and personal lives … Continue reading →
The pairing of Ji Chang Wook and Yoona for The K2 felt so random and wholly unexpected when it was confirmed, but judging from the complementary visuals in the promo stills might just end up being yet another drama coupling win. The story may have frustrated viewers and gone batty by the end of Yongpal, penned by the screenwriter of … Continue reading →
There are new goodies from tvN’s upcoming political thriller The K2, and if the actual drama looks as good as the character teasers do then it’s going to be a treat to watch.

This is the best case of K-drama character acting I recollect ever seeing so a huge kudos to Ji Chang Wook for being so darn entertaining. The leads of The K2 jetted off to Spain this week for location shoots prior to the drama’s premiere in mid-September. It’s cutting it close but I have faith in PD Kwak Jung Hwan … Continue reading →
Idol actors continue to get a mixed reception with Korean drama audiences, it’s not enough to rest on one good performance but one bad performance seems to tar the opinion for a long time. Yoona of SNSD has been acting for so long she’s more like an actress who is also an idol, doing equal parts of both rather than … Continue reading →
Looks like upcoming tvN drama The K2 really will be an potentially upgraded version of last year’s hit SBS drama Yongpal. Coming from the same screenwriter, the first teaser has the same sleek mood and ambiance, showing only seconds long snippets of leads Ji Chang Wook, Yoona, and Song Yoon Ah. At least the audience sees Ji Chang Wook’s face … Continue reading →
Things are locked and loaded for upcoming tvN political thriller drama K2, or more specifically now title The K2. I wonder if adding The lends it more gravitas, or less association with the second highest mountain in the world since this isn’t a mountaineering drama. The leads have assembled as filming kicks off this weekend for the drama to take … Continue reading →
Looks like there is tons of juicy on-dits behind the scenes of the casting of tvN drama K2. Wish I could be a fly on the wall to discern what went on for singer-actress Yoona to be offered the leading lady role, reportedly turn it down, and a week later is considering it once again and then accepted. If the … Continue reading →
There’s a drama casting news dump to liven up a Monday, and this one has all the signs of hitting the spot for me. Upcoming tvN thriller K2 is drumming up additional big name actors and actress to join Ji Chang Wook and Song Yoon Ah, and the biggest of the casting is the leading lady role that seeks revenge … Continue reading →
Bigger isn’t necessarily better is a true adage in many situations, and almost certainly applies to dramas. Those aiming for bigger often find the collapse to be equally thunderous, which can make for entertaining watches for the exact opposite reasons of rubbernecking the hot mess. Premiering this April 3rd is the huge budget period C-drama God of War Zhao Zi … Continue reading →
I much appreciate an unexpected collaboration when it’s sweet and nostalgic. SNSD‘s Yoona made a surprise guest starring appearance in the just released MV for popular C-actor Li Yi Feng‘s latest single “Please Contact Me”. The song is part of the OST for his recently released romantic C-movie Fall in Love with a Star costarring Yang Mi. I’m not terribly … Continue reading →
