This show's by OCN, so you already can expect, right off the bat, that this one's very likely going to lean dark and gritty.
Jin Goo (whom I remember fondly as our second lead in DOTS) plays a firefighter who finds himself in a situation where he needs to rescue his daughter from his neighbor, who is allegedly a serial killer.

2022-02-27 13:29:53 +0000 UTC View PostE2. Hmm. I'm gonna hafta say that so far, I am liking this show more in concept than in execution.
What I mean is, I like the idea of the friendship among our 3 female leads, and I like the idea of them navigating their way through the messiness of life and love, while supporting one another through it all, and I like the idea of each of them having distinct personalities, and yet having ...

I didn't watch Season 1 of Arthdal Chronicles, so I'm not personally invested in this news, but I do recall that several of you watched and liked Season 1, so this should be happy news for you!
Writers Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon, who wrote Season 1, will also write Season 2. Among the cast, only Jang Dong Gun has been confirmed to return.
No word yet on whether Song Joong Ki,...

Unlike the first couple of teasers that we've gotten of this show, which don't really give us a proper feel for the actual tone of Show's episodes, this first episode trailer does give us a flavor for the kind of vibe that Show will be going for.
From what I can tell, Show's going to lean kind of OTT, but will still aim to serve up some poignance, via the fact that Krystal's character lea...

Many thanks to Kun, for making sure to send this to me, because this one does seem promising.
Sure, the trailer itself doesn't tell us a great deal, but piecing it together with the premise and matching this with its writer, does making this one appear more intriguing that it first looks.
We know that the premise is that 3 siblings who live in Sanpo Village, a quiet...

To be honest, I didn't have a whole lot of interest in this one, back when it was first announced. All I knew was that it was an Lee Min Ho drama, and would be produced by Apple TV+. Neither of which are things that make me go, Wow, amazing! 😅
BUT. Now that the trailer is out, I have to say, it looks extremely intriguing!
It looks epic and sprawling, yet also promises to ha...

Part of me wonders if Han Jong Goo knows less than he's letting on, ie, I wonder if he's playing up the idea that he knows something about Do Hyun's father's case, in order to get Do Hyun to represent him, even though Do Hyun clearly does...
2022-02-25 06:33:42 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I was a little thrown by Show's first 15 minutes; not gonna lie.
In those 15 minutes, Show goes heavy on the mysticism in our drama world, and I honestly felt quite adrift. Everything felt so unfamiliar and alien, as Show leans into the mythology, and the magic of gods and Kawas, Kawas being spirits who are put on earth to be blessings to humans.
However, thankfully for me, afte...
2022-02-24 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I honestly wasn't sure how I'd feel coming into this one, because I've heard such mixed reactions, so far. I've heard of folks who like this one pretty well, but I've also heard from friends who really didn't take to it, and couldn't even finish this first episode. How.. polarizing, right?
And that's before taking into account, reports that this show is old-fashioned, and reminiscent ...

2022-02-21 01:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostE3. Ooh. The plot thickens - and I am still a very happy camper. If people are right, that this show gets better and better, starting from around episode 5 or 6, then perhaps I'm going to really, really like this one? Since, I basically have enjoyed this one, from episode 1? I hope so!
For a start, I wanted to say again, just how much I'm enjoying Junho in this, as Do Hyun.

2022-02-20 08:14:33 +0000 UTC View PostE2. Guh. I LUFF THIS SHOW.
I'd been slightly afraid that episode 1 might've been some kind of amazing fluke, and episode 2 might not live up to episode 1's level of awesome, BUT IT DOES. It so does. And I am so thrilled that I can't quite wipe the happy, goofy grin off my face.
To be clear, I am mostly in love with the flashback portion of our story. I appreciate the present-day por...

I have no idea how this relates to Junho's other ads for Paper Bag for their Minus Shake (some kind of health beverage that comes in a pouch), but it's 30 seconds of Junho being handsome for Paper Bag, and I'll take it! 😍😍

This is literally just a highlight reel of animal lovers Junho and Chansung (remember their teamwork on the tuna ad?) playing with and snuggling up to all the pups and kitties that they meet in the course of their shoots.

With Gong Yoo being as reclusive as he is, and as selective as he is, about projects, we should probably thank Discovery for managing to keep him as their ambassador all these years. Without these Discovery ads, we would definitely be seeing a lot less of Gong Yoo, I'm sure!
Here he is, serving up a boatload of fresh Spring vibes, to brighten up your day! 🤩😍

Youn Yuh Jung, Sung Dong Il, Son Ye Jin and Kang Ha Neul, in the same drama - now that's a strong cast, isn't it? 🤩🤩
The premise itself sounds promising, in that it sounds like this could be a heartwarming, heart-tugging sort of story.

The promos for Crazy Love are really leaning into the wacky, from what I can tell. So maybe the "crazy" in the title is also describing Show's tone..? 😅
I'm still not quite sure what to make of this one, but if your sense of humor manages to jive with Show's sense of humor, this could work out to be a fun time?
Show is 16 episodes and will air on Mondays and Tuesdays on iQIYI and...

I haven't checked out the drama itself yet, but the drama itself is very much on my list, for the do-over premise, which I have a soft spot for. Plus, the drama trailer makes the show itself look very promising!

2022-02-17 14:33:06 +0000 UTC View PostE4. For a show that's centered around a time loop, our story manages to consistently go off in new and fresh directions, while still adhering to the rules that it sets for itself, and this thrills me greatly.
Even though it makes perfect sense that the time loop would, at some point, start early enough to allow Shiqing and Heyun to disembark at a bus-stop, rather than have to find a way t...

I think I should thank Junho for being in this show, because I'm actually enjoying it very well so far, and like I said before, I wouldn't be watching this one right now (or at all?), if Junho wasn't in it. Of course, part of my enjoyment is that Junho is in it, but aside from that, in as objective a manner as I can muster, I do find this story interesting, on its own.

The trailer is unsubbed (sorry, couldn't find a subbed one), but it gives a good feel for Show's tone, which appears to lean chaotic but warm.
