I think the first thing I heard about K-entertainment was the movie My Sassy Girl. It was super popular (still is) and many of my non-kdrama-lover friends have at least heard about it. It was released in 2001 and stars Cha Tae Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun in the lead roles. Its basic plot never made me excited to watch it and hence, I’ve still not seen the film. 2017 is bringing a small screen version of My Sassy Girl with same title Continue reading →

When I think of Kdramas, sci-fi sounds like a distant term as I haven’t seen many cases where the dramas have adopted this genre. The only proper example that I can think of is Joseon X-Files aka Secret Investigation Records. Yes, there have been aliens in some shows but then I would rather put them in fantasy genre than sci-fi. The upcoming tvN drama Circle definitely looks grand, experimental and something totally brand new as far as Kdramas are concerned. It is divided into two time periods — one set in present 2017 and the other in future 2037. And there is alien invasion as well! Continue reading →

I love, love, love the best-friends-to-lovers trope in fictional romance from the bottom of my heart and this is the very first reason for my uber excitement for upcoming KBS romcom drama Fight My Way (or Third-rate My Way). The second being the leads — Park Seo Joon (last seen in a sageuk role in Hwarang) and Kim Ji Won (finally landing a leading role after doing memorable supporting ones in megahits like Descendants Of The Sun and Heirs). Thirdly, the main dynamics with the second leads, who have a relationship of their own instead of wasting time in meddling with the main Continue reading →

A new daily drama is starting this week, airing from Monday to Friday on MBC and it’s titled I Love You Danji (also going by the name Return of Lucky Pot). The only cast member I know is Lee Pil Mo who was great in Pinocchio. For weekday prime time shows, he last appeared in a cameo role in tvN hit Oh Hae Young Again. I Love You Danji sounds like the typical plot of a hardworking poor girl meeting a rich guy and falling in love. Continue reading →
