It is apt to call the current drama season a thriller season as there is an eclectic mix of shows airing right now with each offering their own stories encompassing the genre. I’m watching two of them (God’s Gift – 14 Days and Three Days) and planning to add the third one (I hope I don’t do an overdose!): Gap Dong. It is basically about a twenty years old case of serial murders with the killer known as Gap Dong. Presently when the statute of Continue reading

Last year one drama came that was as low buzzed as possible but then after its premiere, it won million of hearts. The drama was noir Heartless City and people went crazy for its leading man Jung Kyung Ho. I didn’t watch it as it looked too dark for my Kdrama taste. Another drama that had similar fate was Secret— a melodrama that looked too pedestrian Continue reading

Yay! Kim Myung Min is back in dramaland! After enthralling me with his pitch perfect performance in King Of Dramas, he is headlining his next show called A New Leaf where he will be playing a successful lawyer who loses his memory after an accident and then the drama revolves around him trying to rediscover who he truly is. He is one actor who always slips into the skin of his characters and keeps on doing versatile roles with infusing each of them with right touch of believability and firecracker energy. What came as a bolt from the blue was the casting of his leading lady and she is Park Min Young— now this is one unexpected and unlikely pairing but I like it due to the very same reason. I find Park Min Young cute and bubbly and liked her a lot in City Hunter and Sungkyunkwan Scandal. She is returning to the small screen after 2 years as she did Dr. Jin in 2012 and recently was in talks to join Dr. Stranger and You’re All Surrounded, both of which she didn’t take ultimately. I think this is one good project to work in.

Forget about the current hot drama trends of noona romance and ‘second chances in love’ : my vote goes to drama couples reunion, as we might be getting another reunion on the heels of Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae‘s repeat pairing. Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara have been courted to star in Korean remake of superhit Taiwanese drama Fated To Love You. I’ll be getting happiness of warm christmas carols if this happens for two main Continue reading

I haven’t seen Gu Hye Sun in anything else other than the off-the-charts popular and hit Boys Before Flowers where I had a mixed opinion about her performance. She was good at some parts but mostly I felt that there was a lot of over-acting on her part and it didn’t help that the chemistry with Lee Min Ho was one-sided. Her following projects (The Musical, Take Care Of Us Captain) didn’t interest me and they couldn’t follow the Continue reading
