First teaser for upcoming kdrama "You whom I met by chance"

..also known as "Run Into You."

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of the teaser, you guys, but I figured you'd like to get a taste for this show anyway, so here it is.

This one's a time travel fantasy sort of set-up, where Kim Dong Wook and Jin Ki Joo play our leads, who somehow time travel back to 1987 - via that car! That's so Back to the Future! 😁 - in order to try to cha...

Subbed trailer for upcoming k-reality show "Single's Inferno 2"

I actually have very little idea of what this show is about, but because I'm currently watching Love is for Suckers, where there's a show-within-a-show that's also about singles trying to find love, I'm more intrigued than I would ordinarily be.

This trailer makes me think that perhaps there's more to our show-within-a-show than just fictitious drama, and that it might be closer to actual...

Subbed trailer for upcoming J-dorama "The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House"

Well, this looks different and interesting.

This is the story of childhood friends Kiyo and Sumire move to Kyoto to become maiko (apprentice geishas). Apparently, while Sumire takes to the training quite well, Kiyo doesn't - but discovers a talent in cooking.

I think this could provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of maiko, and I'm so pleased that this will be available to i...

Subbed longer trailer for upcoming J-dorama "First Love"

This is the 3rd trailer we've gotten so far, for this show, and I have to say, the more I see of this drama, the more my interest is piqued.

It looks like it could be very poignant, with our central lovebirds finding each other again, after many years apart. Also, the music is so earwormy that it's already giving me some feels. 🥰

Hikari Mitsushima and Takeru Satoh star as our cen...

Subbed trailer for currently airing cdrama "She and her perfect husband"

If you're geo-restricted for this trailer, you can try this one instead.

If you like the contract marriage trope, &/or noona romances, then this one might be for you.

Yang Mi stars as successful lawyer Qin Shi, who is more interested in her career than in settling down. Due to Events, Qin Shi for...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Money Heist: Joint Economic Area Part 2"

Wow that's a mouthful of a title! 😅

I didn't watch Part 1 (not enough drama hours in a day, seriously! 🙈), but for those who did, here's Part 2, continuing where Part 1 left off.

Just FYI, Show is rated 18+ for violence and profanity.

Show is 6 episodes, and will drop on 9 December, on Netflix.

First episode preview of currently airing mini drama "Please send a fan letter"

Since so many of you expressed interest in this one, here's the first episode preview (unfortunately, it's not subbed), which gives you a quick taste of what E1 is like.

Show is scheduled to air on Fridays and Saturdays, from 18 November to 26 November, on MBC.

It's also available on Viki, yay!

Subbed 2nd trailer for upcoming kdrama "Alchemy of Souls 2: Light and Shadow"

We get a longer look at Season 2, in this trailer, and while it isn't as badass or fierce as the first trailer we got (here), it's still good to see our various characters.

On a rather frivolous note, I can't help wondering why Park Jin cut off his mane of glory. I think he looks better with th...

Subbed 2nd trailer for upcoming kdrama "Work Later, Drink Now"

I haven't seen Season 1 of this show, but have heard that it's pretty great, as long as you adjust your expectations to anticipate lots of drinking on the show.

And, based on this trailer, it looks like you should also expect lots of chaotic energy, from this one.

Also, it's so trippy to see Siwon in a man-bear sort of space, when I'm currently watching him in Love is for Suckers, w...

Subbed new trailer for upcoming kdrama "Connect"

Fair warning that there's some gore in the trailer, which some of you might find uncomfortable or disturbing. 

We get a longer glimpse at the world of "Connect," where a man who has been deprived of part of his body by organ hunters (Jung Hae In) and becomes somehow connected with a person who has received an organ transplant (Go Kyung Pyo).

Uh, I like both leads, but I have to...

Subbed 2nd trailer for upcoming k-movie "A Christmas Carol"

We get a longer look at the world of "A Christmas Carol," and it is every bit as gritty as I'd expected.

It does look like it will give Jinyoung a lot of room to showcase his acting range, which is great, because I do think he's very good.

I just.. don't know if I'm up for the gritty darkness, even if it's for twice the Jinyoung. 😅

Show is 2 hours and 11 minutes, and is set...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Unlock My Boss"

This one looks potentially fun, especially since I like the cast.

Apparently, Park Sung Woong (🤩🤩!) plays a CEO of a large corporation who gets killed and somehow becomes a smartphone, in a manner of speaking.

Chae Jong Hyeop, of whom I am quite fond, plays the job seeker who picks up that smartphone, and who then becomes Mr. CEO's de facto partner, not just in running his com...

Early Access: New Life Begins [China] E1-2, E3-4

E1-2. Tee hee. This show is shaping up to be a fun ride, right off the bat, just like the fandom around it has promised.

The reason I sat up with such interest over this one, recently, is that there's been a good amount of positive buzz that Show is fun and enjoyable, yet somehow comforting, in the midst of the silly.

Apparently, Show's rise in popularity is very impressive, because...

Junho for VOGUE Korea

If you guys thought my Junho love had faded, well, you'd be wrong, because I am still very much on the Junho train. 😁

I just.. didn't want to be accused of spamming you guys with Junho content, is all. 😁

Here he is for VOGUE Korea, looking as handsome as ever. 😍😍

Please enjoy.

So Ji Sub for Samsonite

This isn't new, but I once saved these photos, planning to share them here, and then got distracted and forgot I ever saved them. 😅

Here's So Ji Sub modeling for Samsonite - If I remember right, Rita has a bit of a soft spot for him? 🥰

Well, I do too, and I think he looks handsome, as usual.

Please enjoy.

A quick Qu Chu Xiao interview 😎

This one's from Jennifer, you guys (thanks Jennifer!).

Since I've only really watched Qu Chu Xiao in Shining For One Thing, where he plays sweet shy boy Wansen, it's really quite trippy for me to see him in a chattier, cooler sort of space. 😅

This is a pretty fun 3 minutes if you like Qu Chu Xiao, coz I think it gives a bit of insight into his likes and dislikes....

Leo Wu for PARIM eyewear

If you followed my notes for Love Like The Galaxy or read my review, you'd probably know that I have a newfound fangirl love for Leo Wu. 🤩

And so, I couldn't not share, when I came across this CF that he did for PARIM eyewear. 

Doesn't he still look oh-so-cool, even with the glasses? 😎😍

Here're some pix, to go with.

Please enjoy.

Kim Se Jeong and Ahn Hyo Seop reunite for mini CF drama "Office Romance Recipe"

For those of you who loved Kim Se Jeong and Ahn Hyo Seop together in "A Business Proposal," you'd likely get a kick out of this.

They are reuniting for a CF mini series for Indonesian Food Company RealFood, titled "Office Romance Recipe." It already sounds cute?

This is the first episode, at just 2:45 minutes long. 

I think it's pretty cute, for what it is.

New trailer for upcoming kdrama "Please send a fan letter"

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

We get a slightly longer look at this little show that's coming up, and it's looking like it could be quite a fun ride.

Sooyoung as a top star, and Yoon Park as a single dad who keeps running into her, already sounds like a fun time - even before we take into account that single dad's daughter lurrrves her and wants nothi...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Work Later, Drink Now 2"

..just click cc for english subs.

I didn't watch Season 1 of this show, but I've heard positive things about it - provided you can get past how much our characters drink. 😅

Siwon and Yoon Shi Yoon also star.

Show is 10 episodes and will air on Fridays, from 9 December...

This one premiered on 7 November, and so far, reactions have generally quite positive.

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "The Forbidden Marriage"

Ooh, this one is making my drama senses perk up with interest. I find the premise quite interesting, and if done well, this could work out to be a good romance?

Kim Young Dae plays a young King, Lee Heon, whose beloved wife has died 7 years ago. Since then, he has refused to remarry, and in the meantime, all young single women have also been banned from marrying, since the King is technic...

Subbed 2nd trailer for "Summer Strike"

..Also known as "I don't feel like doing anything."

This trailer gives us a better look and feel of our characters and our drama world, and it looks like an interesting concept, in that many of us probably fantasize about checking out of all of life's responsibilities, at some point, and this story seems to explore what that's really like, via Seolhyun's character.

Show is 12 episod...

Subbed teaser for upcoming kdrama "Alchemy of Souls 2: Light and Shadow"

Eee! We have a proper glimpse at Season 2 of Alchemy Of Souls and it promises to be pretty epic, judging from this quick teaser?

All I know is, Uk is coming across as pretty badass, and that's pretty cool. 🤩😁

I'm definitely planning to cover this one here on Patr...

Subbed trailer for upcoming k-movie "A Christmas Carol"

Those of you who've got a soft spot for GOT7 Jinyoung might be extra interested in this?

This movie will be about a young man (Jinyoung) who goes to a juvenile detention center, in order to avenge the death of his twin brother (also played by Jinyoung).

Twice the Jinyoung for the price of one - that's not bad, especially if you're a fan? 😁

Show is 2 hours and 11 minutes, an...

Trailer for upcoming kdrama "Island"

We finally have a trailer for upcoming kdrama "Island" and it looks.. kinda stressful but kinda intriguing? 😅

Our story is about Mi Ho (Lee Da Hee), the only daughter of Daehan Group, who gets banished to Jeju Island by her father, for her bad attitude. However, it isn't long before she realizes that the island of Jeju has evil roaming free, and she finds herself having to fight to sur...

This new set of trailers give us a better feel for our 3 main characters, played by Song Joong Ki, Shin Hyun Bin and Lee Sung Min.

Show is 16 episodes and will air THREE episodes a week, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 18 November to 23 Dec...

Subbed 3rd trailer for upcoming kdrama "Weak Hero"

Trigger warning that there's a bunch of violence (not terrible, but it's there) in this trailer, which is par for the course, I suppose, given the drama's premise, about school bullying.

In some interesting news, Show is getting a Season 2, apparently, and Season 1 hasn't even aired yet. That's kind of new ? (though apparently the same is true for Gyeongseong Creature, which is due to air...

Early Access: Mr. Bad [China] E1-2, E3-4

E1-2. There are two main reasons that I wanted to check out this show.

First, I love the ridiculous premise, where our the villain in our female lead's novel comes to life because she summons him in a moment of desperation, and he ends up becoming her neighbor, and then hijinks and romance ensue - of course.

It's all kinds of absurd, and offers lots of room for silly, and that just ...

Son Seok Koo for VOGUE Korea, November 2022
