Subbed trailer for currently airing c-drama "Never Give Up"

This one's apparently a remake of kdrama Gaus Electronics, so if you liked Gaus, you might be interested in this?

The synopsis, as per MDL, reads:

"The third planning department of Gaofa Electronics Group is a brainstorming department responsible for innovation. It has successfully proposed the "Gaosi 3s" cross-generation model, which has become the main product of the group for ten...

New trailer for upcoming k-movie "Soulmate"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, but I just had to share, because a number of us expressed interest when I shared the first trailer (here!).

Watching this trailer, I get the feeling that this show will make me cry, at least once.

As I mentioned previously, this is adapted f...

Subbed trailer for just-premiered kdrama "Delivery Man"

I found a subbed version of this one, you guys!

This one is 12 eps, and is will air from 1 March to 6 April, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, on ENA, Viu and Viki. 

So far, viewer response has been pretty positive, with Show enjoying a rating of 8.0 on MyDramaList, as I type this. Not bad at all.

KFG ❤️

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "Pandora: Beneath the Paradise"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys.

But here's another look at the world of Pandora: Beneath the Paradise, and.. looks like if you're in the mood for something Dramatic and Intense, this could be your ticket. 😁

Show is 16 episodes and will air from 11 March to 30 April, on Saturdays and Sundays, on TVING and tvN. Word on the street is that this one will be o...

New trailer for just-premiered kdrama "Divorce Attorney Shin"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys.

But here's another look at the world of Divorce Attorney Shin, and.. weirdly, the music in this is in such a similar vein as Chosun Lawyer, that I'm mentally filing them in the same space, even though one is a sageuk and one is a modern day drama. 😂

I guess Show's gunning for a similar irreverent sort of vibe?

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "Romantic Guest House"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys.

Well. It looks like this isn't as fluffy of a show as the first trailer (here!) suggests. This trailer looks much more intense and life-or-death-ish, which may or may not be a positive thing for you, depending on your drama tastes.

Pe...

Trailer for upcoming kdrama "Chosun Lawyer"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys.

There's a new lawyer drama coming at us, but this time, it's set in Joseon times, so that's different? And the tone of the trailer suggests that Show will be a little on the heist-like sort of things? Or maybe that's just the effect of the music. 😅

At any rate, it's giving me rather irreverent vibes, and makes me think it ...

Subbed trailer for upcoming j-dorama "From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke"

Well, it looks like Netflix is serving up more j-doramas than before, which is great, because one of the things that's been keeping many folks from watching j-doramas, is how limited their access is - especially subbed j-doramas.

This one's a high school drama, which makes it a little different from the other Netflix j-doramas I've watched, so I'm somewhat curious to see how this goes. 2023-03-05 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Quick announcement: Entertainment drop this weekend will be slightly late

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick heads-up that the Entertainment drop will still happen tomorrow, but will be a few hours later than our usual, because I came home quite a bit later than expected today after getting to see some very old friends whom I haven't seen in years, and now I have no time to prep the posts to come out on time tomorrow. 🙈

I usually have the posts come out...

A suggestion on posting Deep Dive comments

Hi everyone!

I just had a thought today, about the various comments that you guys post while watching a show.

I'm thinking that if you could cross-post those exact same comments to the episode notes as well (if I've covered the show, and if you have access to the notes), that would be helpful to those who watch the show later, and then go check out the episode notes.

Then they...

First of all, thank you for being here, because if you're reading this, you're already supporting me on Patreon, and I appreciate that, so much. 🥰

PSA: On improving loading speed for the blog

Hi everyone!

This is just a quick announcement (which I will make soonish on the blog too), that the main blog's site loading speeds SHOULD have improved, because this week, I caved, and subscribed to both a CDN service AND an image optimization service, both of which are supposed to help with site loading times.

I'm also taking Merij's suggestion, to clear the site caches manually ...

Early Access: Fan Letter Please E1, E2

E1. Ok, this is shaping up to be pretty cute; I'm happy I picked this one as a palette cleanser, for after The Glory Part 1. I mean, why not have a quick dose of cute, before I jump back into revenge, when The Glory Part 2 comes out, eh?

I do have to say, though, that the difference in tone between this and The Glory took me a bit of getting used to.

After working on the review of T...

Subbed trailer for upcoming k-movie "The Devil's Deal"

Political intrigue and conspiracy aren't quite my thing, but, you guys - look at THIS CAST! 🤩

We've got Jo Jin Woong (Signal! 🤩), Lee Sung Min (Reborn Rich! 🤩) and Kim Mu Yeol (My Beautiful Bride! 🤩) sharing the screen, and the potential intensity already has me seeing stars. 😁

The synopsis, as per MyDramaList, reads:

Subbed trailer for k-movie "Past Lives"

This one completely flew under the radar for me, but dang, does it look good! 🤩

Starring Yoo Teo and Greta Lee, our story, as per imdb, is about "Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. 20 years later, they are reunited for one fateful week as they confront notions of love and destiny."

Subbed trailer for upcoming k-docuseries "In The Name Of God"

Well, this is something different.

In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal, is a docuseries that will examine the chilling true stories of four Korean leaders claiming to be prophets, and explore the dark side of unquestioning belief.

Based on the trailer, this looks like it could be pretty interesting?

Show is 8 episodes, and is due to drop on Netflix on 3 March 2023.

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "The Glory Part 2"

Things are looking suitably intense in the 2nd part of our story, and y'know what, I'm actually really interested to see where this goes.

I have been very absorbed by Part 1, even though I don't think of myself as loving revenge dramas, so do check it out, if you haven't yet?

Part 2 dropping its 8 episodes on 10 March, on Netflix.

Subbed 2nd trailer for upcoming k-movie "Kill Boksoon"

We get another glimpse at the world of Kill Boksoon, and I hafta say, I'm intrigued by this idea of Jeon Do Yeon being a regular mom by day, and a contract killer by night, who is very, very skilled at what she does.

Badass Jeon Do Yeon sounds like an excellent idea, and I feel like approaching this one with a bit of a manhwa lens, would likely be helpful, to smooth over any logic stretch...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Duty After School"

..just be sure to enable cc for English subs!

Ok folks, if you like a bit of sci-fi with your high school stories, this might be for you?

Adapted from the webtoon of the same name, this show is a thriller type drama, where high school students are conscripted to gain extra points by fighting unidentified objects (monsters? aliens?) ahead of the SAT.

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "Oasis"

Again, sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this.

We get a deeper glimpse into the angsty section of our drama world, and I dunno, I feel like this could be good - or it could be meh. It all depends on the writing and execution, really.

But I'm curious, and am keeping it on my shortlist for potential coverage here on Patreon.

Show is 16 episodes, and will air from 6 Mar t...

First trailer for upcoming kdrama "Romantic Guest House"

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys. But it's another look at our flower boy reverse-harem youth sageuk Romantic Guest House, with each flower boy getting a moment in the spotlight.

I find myself warming to Shin Ye Eun quite well, over the course of seeing her in various dramas. I didn't love More Than Friends, but I was pleasantly surprised to find her more interesti...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Divorce Attorney Shin"

Well. Looks like Divorce Attorney Shin's going to be Netflix after all! I find it surprising, that we're learning this so close to Show's premiere date, since Netflix is usually earlier with their promos.

This trailer focuses a lot more on the friendship that our main male characters share, and it's kind of refreshing, that way?

I'm still not super keen on checking this one (because...

Subbed trailer for upcoming k-movie "Soulmate"

Ok, this is literally the first I'm hearing about this movie, and I'm already sold.

This is a coming-of-age story, with a big focus on friendship, starring Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Nee as our main pair of friends. According to MyDramaList, they share their experiences in both friendship and romance, and I already love the idea of that.

This is adapted from a Chinese short story, "Qi Yu...
