Crash Landing On You has given new wings to the Korean wave. The popularity of Korean dramas started increasing internationally during the early 2000s but it was still a niche fan following. Since its premiere in December 2019, Crash Landing On You has taken the world by storm. So many people across the globe who were unaware of the wonderful world of Kdramas, have become new fans. The credit also goes to the universal appeal of Netflix which makes it easier to reach more viewers. Continue reading →

I’m definitely getting vibes of IRIS, Athena and Fugitive Plan B from upcoming drama Prometheus, what with the genre of spy thriller, big budget, top stars and North-South relationship. Despite the mixed results of shows of the genre (main complaint: all style and no substance but I want to remain positive!), this kind of category always makes me excited and since we have confirmed leads in the form of Ha Ji Won and Jin Goo, count me in for sure! Ha Ji Won was fantastic in The King 2 Hearts where she brilliantly portrayed her action packed role. And Jin Goo is always a delight to watch. Continue reading →

I’m not a huge fan of medical dramas (although I did watch Doctors which was a rare case, all for the leads!). They just are so episodic in the patient-of-the-week manner and even if I do like it, it becomes perfunctory act to watch the hospital politics scenes *yawn*. Hence, I’m not too excited for upcoming MBC show Hospital Ship. But it at least has some new colours to paint the tried and tested genre — we have doctors who provide medical care to remote islands where no or insufficient health services are present, by travelling through a hospital ship.
