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

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 have a huge soft spot for Lee Min Ho. The level of love fluctuates from time to time but I can safely say I like him a lot. Boys Before Flowers was the first drama where I saw him and he totally enthralled me with his presence there. Then came City Hunter and I was head over heels in love. I enjoyed him in Heirs while it aired but on the hindsight, I Continue reading
