Seo Ye Ji was magnificent in It’s Okay To Not Be Okay. It was the first time I watched her acting, (with Save Me and Lawless Lawyer firmly placed on the shelf of my watchlist) and she was dazzling with her charisma, performance, beauty and voice. I’m happy to report that she is considering to star in upcoming OCN drama Island. Continue reading

Anchored by a good story, they are full of warmth and characters with strong values and idealism despite being flawed. The vibe is breezy and uplifting with humour and thrills excellently balanced. Her newest drama, tvN’s Start-Up has her signature style and I’m already liking it a lot more than I expected. Continue reading

Jang Dong Yoon had a breakout role in popular period drama The Tale Of Nokdu (his earlier shows include A Poem A Day, Mr. Sunshine and School 2017) and it’s refreshing to see him in a completely different role and genre with the following series Search.

The deluge of dramas in October had left me in a quandary about which one to start and which one to postpone for a later watch. Well, I was intrigued by the premise of Tale Of The Nine Tailed as the fantasy genre with folklore and myths has always piqued my interest, so this drama is the one I decided to go for. After 2 episodes, I can say it was a good choice. Continue reading
