I said this before watching the first two episodes of new KBS drama Curtain Call and I felt it while watching too — it has old school drama vibes, in a good way.

Korean dramas about behind the scenes shenanigans can be a hit or a miss.

I loved Yoo Seung Ho in I’m Not a Robot (2017) — his only drama that I’ve seen so far. The actor has confirmed his next show as Wavve’s Deal. It is a crime thriller drama based on an award-winning 2021 webtoon of the same title. It is about a fake kidnapping gone wrong. This is a popular trope used in thrillers and comedies and I’m interested to know how Deal would make it different. Yoo Seung Ho is joined by Kim Dong Hwi (Missing: The Other Side 2) and Yoo Su Bin (Start-Up, Crash Landing On You) in the cast. Continue reading
