1st teaser for upcoming kdrama "Delightfully Deceitful"

Sorry, no subs, but if you're keen to have more Kim Dong Wook on your screen and My Perfect Stranger doesn't appeal, this could be your ticket?

Show's synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"A revenge drama about a con artist who lacks empathy and an attorney who is excessively empathetic by nature. In order to battle evil, these two polar opposites team up to form an unlikely alliance."

Teaser for upcoming kdrama "Your Lady, Durian"

Sorry, no subs for this, everyone, but if you're ready for some time travel in your life, this could be your ticket?

Show's synopsis, as per HanCinema, reads:

"A melodramatic fantasy in which two women from Joseon Dynasty, belonging from a noble family, become intertwined with men through time travel to the year 2023, the present."

Park Joo Mi, Choi Myung Gil, Kim Min Joon, Je...

3rd trailer for upcoming kdrama "Dr. Romantic 3"

Sorry, again, no subs, but here's another look at Kim Sabu and his Doldam team, for Dr. Romantic 3.

I still haven't started on Dr. Romantic 2, but I'd like to, so that I can check out Season 3 with everyone else.

Season 3 will be 16 episodes, and will air from 28 April to 17 June, on Fridays and Saturdays...

New trailer for upcoming drama "My Perfect Stranger"

..previously known as Run Into You.

Sorry no subs, everyone, but here's another look at Show, which recently changed its international release title to My Perfect Stranger.

Show's starting to look quite suspenseful and intense, judging from this trailer, and.. I'm not so certain about whether I'll want to check this out, when it airs. 😅

Show is 16 episodes, and will air fro...

Trailer for upcoming k-movie "Heavy Snow"

Sorry, no subs, everyone, but it's Han So Hee's latest project, and I know some of you (hi Trent!) have a soft spot for her.

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938"

Sorry guys, no subs, but here's another look at the 1938 world of the nine-tailed.

I can't help feeling quite intrigued, especially since my favorite kind of Kim So Yeon is Badass Kim So Yeon, and Show is promising just that.

I wonder if it's possible to appreciate this show without first watching Season 1..? 😅

This season is 12 eps, and will air from 6 May to 11 June, on S...

Subbed 2nd trailer for upcoming kdrama "All That We Loved"

The cellular memory thing actually shows up in this trailer, so it's starting to look like Summer Scent - modern youth drama edition. 😁

Show starts Oh Se Hun, Jang Yeo Bin and Jo Joon Young.

This one is just 8 episodes, and is due to premiere on 5 May, on TVING. Word on the street is that Viki will carry this one.

KFG ❤️

Early Access: Silent [Japan] E1, E2

E1. I knew I liked this one, from just the first 10 seconds of watching episode 1.

That's saying a lot, because, in looking for a replacement show for this slot on Patreon, I actually checked out Stealer and Queenmaker, both of which are more recent releases.

The thing is, while I don't actively dislike either show, I also don't feel like I want to write episode notes for either of ...

I'm back from my break!

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick note to say that, YES, I'm back from my break!

The 2 weeks flew by, and now my sis and her family are already back in Australia, as I type this.

It's surreal that it's already all over, but it was really good to see everyone, and spend some time together in person, instead of only talking on Skype or over text.

Get-togethers were chaotic...

Lee Dong Wook and Kim Go Eun in "Sea of Hope"

This isn't new, but here's a subbed segment of Lee Dong Wook and Kim Go Eun going diving in jTBC program "Sea of Hope."

If you like (or are at least amused by) a sulky Lee Dong Wook, I think you'd enjoy this one. 😁

Please enjoy.

KFG ❤️ 

IU & SUGA, with subs!

I didn't know this, but apparently IU's pretty active on her YouTube channel, and this episode is her having a chat with her guest, SUGA. 

AND, they even perform together too.

Please enjoy.

KFG ❤️

Subbed trailer for recently aired c-drama "Falling Before Fireworks"

This one completely flew under my radar, but based on viewer response on MDL, who've given this a score of 8.1, this is worth taking a look at, because it's a healing drama with bonus puppies. 🤩

The trailer weirdly goes silent in the last stretch, but at least the subs let us know what's going on? 😅

Show's synopsis reads:

"Si Qing, who works in a loan bank, leads a "vulg...

Subbed trailer for upcoming TW-drama "Wave Makers"

Subbed trailer for upcoming j-dorama "Sanctuary"

I have very little knowledge of the sumo world, but I hafta say, my idea of the sumo world, is very different from the vibe that this trailer serves up. 😅

But, it could still be a way to learn something about a very niche part of Japanese culture, kinda like what The Makanai did for geiko & maiko culture?

Show's synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"It describes how a young sum...

Trailer for k-movie "Rebound"

Sorry everyone, no subs for this, but even without subs, doesn't this look good? I mean, if you're into underdog stories or sports stories, that is.

Show's synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"This true story retells the incredible tale of the 2012 National High School Basketball Championship, in which a new coach and six players from the weakest basketball team ran nonstop for eight days....

Subbed trailer for k-movie "Killing Romance"

This looks kinda wacky, but in an entertaining sort of way?

"'Killing Romance' tells the story of a retired actress who marries an island chaebol and meets a 3-time-test-taker who lives next door. It is a comic thriller musical film with a unique concept."

Show stars Honey Lee, Lee Sun Kyun, Gong Myung and Bae Yoo Ram.

Trailer for upcoming kdrama "Race"

Sorry, no subs, everyone, but.. this looks like it could be surprisingly good?

When I heard this was a workplace drama, I wasn't really interested, but watching this trailer, it looks like it could be pretty fun, actually?

Show's synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"Office politics take center stage for marketer Park Yoon Jo, whose lack of an academic background won’t deter his ded...

3rd teaser for upcoming kdrama "Run Into You"

Sorry everyone, no subs for this one too. 😅

I don't know if Show is going to be like this teaser, but if it is, it might be cute?

Plus, I do like the retro vibe that this one has as well, thanks to our main pair traveling back to 1987. 😁

Show is 16 episodes, and will air from 1 May to 20 June, on Mondays and Tuesdays, on KBS2, Wavve and Viu.

KFG ❤️

New teaser for upcoming kdrama "Dr. Romantic 3"

Sorry, again, no subs, but here's another look at Kim Sabu and his Doldam team, for Dr. Romantic 3.

I really need to start on Dr. Romantic 2, so that I can check out Season 3 with everyone else (and not like, only get to it when everyone's done with it 😅).

Show stars Han Seok Kyu, Lee Sung Kyung, Ahn Hyo Seop, and Kim Joo Heon.

Season 3 will be 16 episodes, and will air fro...

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "The Good Bad Mother"

Sorry, everyone, no subs again, BUT! It's Jo Jin Woong, in the trailer! 🤩🤩 It always feels like such a treat to see him on my screen, even in a guest role like this.

Show is 14 episodes, and will air from 26 April to 8 June, on Wed and Thurs, on TVING, tvN and Netflix.

KFG ❤️

Trailer for upcoming kdrama "Finnish Papa"

..Also known as "Finland Papa."

Sorry no subs, everyone, but this one looks like it could be really heartwarming?

"A healing drama about people in need of emotional support who gather around a cafe named “Finland Papa”. It is managed by a faceless owner who falls in love with a woman in her twenties who works at the cafe, mending her own...

Part 2 is just 4 episodes, and will start airing on Friday, 21 April, on TVING and Viki.

KFG ❤️

3rd teaser for upcoming kdrama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938"

Sorry guys, no subs, most likely coz this trailer is hot off the press.

Show is looking more dramatic and more stylish with each teaser that we're getting, it seems like. This time, we get a look at Kim Bum and what looks to be a bromance fraught with tension, with Lee Dong Wook?

This season is 12 eps, and will air from 6 May to 11 June, on Saturdays and Sundays, on tvN. No word yet...

Early Access: True To Love E1, E2

E1. As soon as Show dropped its first teaser, I was really, really hoping to like this one.

Mainly, it's because I have a big soft spot for Yoo In Na, and I'm excited to see her come back to our screens, in a rom-com. Yay! 🥳

It's still fairly early days yet, since we're just 2 episodes in so far, but having watched both episodes, I'm happy to report that I like it, so far.

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick announcement to let you all know that I've just installed a plugin on the site, to prevent theft of my content.

The trigger for this, is that over the last couple of days, 3 of my posts have been stolen and republished on another website which clearly just steals from other sites, because I saw a Dramabeans recap also posted there.
