"A group of young individuals with different backgrounds come together at a pension located in Jeju. They rediscover their love and friendship through the mystery of "Sound Candy.""

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Celebrity"

Well this one definitely flew under the radar for me. I didn't even know this existed, until I saw this trailer. 😅

Show's synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"Fame. Money. Power. One young woman fights to become the next hottest celebrity in the glamorous yet scandalous world of influencers in Seoul."

Um, ok. I think the trailer's more informative than that. 😅

New teaser for upcoming kdrama "Heartbeat"

We get a peek at our OTP interacting, in this teaser, and I am duly tickled by the idea that she interrupts his sleep, juuuust before he's due to become human. Pfft. Ok then. 

Sure, this could turn into a hot mess, but so far, the trailers are campy and quite hilarious? I'm cautiously hopeful. 😁

This one's 16 eps, and will air from 26 June, on Mondays and Tuesdays, on KBS2. ...

5th teaser for upcoming kdrama "King The Land"

Wow. That's a lot of teasers! But I'm not complaining, because, Junho. 😍

This trailer shows more of the set-up, so we already know a little bit about how our OTP first meet; ie, NOT at the hotel, while she has no idea that he's the CEO. This looks kinda fun, yes? 😁

This will be 16 eps, and will air on Sat and Sun, from 17 June to 6 August, on TVING, jTBC and  Netflix.

"The film is about those who survived in a city that went to ruins after a massive earthquake destroyed all the concrete.

Young Tak is a leader who works to protect Hwang Goong Apartment from outsiders. Min Sung is a salary...

Early Access: Dr. Romantic 3 E1, E2

E1. Even though I've very recently finished Dr. Romantic 2, and therefore haven't been waiting for several years for Season 3 like the rest of Show's fans, I still feel a thrill, that Season 3 is actually here.

Honestly, this might be the only drama that I can remember actually eagerly anticipating Season 3. I generally prefer my dramas to be single-season one-and-done deals.

New teaser for upcoming kdrama "Heartbeat"

This is looking to be quite cheeky, given the way Taecyeon's been hamming it up for the cameras in each new teaser.

And also, there's the thing at the end, where he says to the girl, "Let's go home," which is a clear pun on 2PM's popular song "My House." Hahahaha. I am duly tickled. 😁

Perhaps this will be a fun show to watch, even if it turns out to be all over the place..?

Subbed 4th trailer for upcoming kdrama "King The Land"

Ok, so this is still in the broadish comedy sort of space for me, but.. I'm not wincing as much? 😅

So many rom-coms lately seem to want to be in the vein of old-school classic rom-coms, and mostly, they've fallen flat for me. This one, however, I'm starting to have some cautious hopes for, so fingers crossed that this turns out to be fun.

Because, I would really like to love Junh...

Early Access: My Perfect Stranger E1, E2

E1. Well. I'm much more engaged and interested in this one, than I'd expected to be. I'm all sucked in, just one episode in, and ready for more. What a pleasant surprise this has turned out to be. 😁

To be fair, I'm engaged to varying degrees, when it comes to the arcs of our two lead characters, as in, I'm currently more emotionally invested in Yoon Young's arc than Hae Joon's.
