This latest trailer (enable cc for English subs) gives us a better flavor for how Military Prosecutor Doberman is going to vibe.
The sense that I'm getting, is that it's going to lean more.. dramatic (or melodramatic?), whereas D.P. had leaned more real and gritty. Of course, that doesn't mean that this won't be good. I just think it'll be different.
Show is 16 eps, and will a...

I have to confess that I'm eyeing this one with a bit of caution. 😅
On the upside, I like both leads to varying degrees. I LOVED Kim Jae Wook as Ryan Gold in Her Private Life, and I liked Krystal quite nicely in Prison Playbook, and found her funny and charming in Heirs. So this might work out to be an interesting pairing?
On the downside, I'm not so sure I like the premise. He p...

Many thanks to Elaine, who sent this to me, we've got another subbed trailer for upcoming drama "Thirty-Nine," and it's looking more and more like my jam, you guys.
It looks like there are going to be lashings of poignance and bittersweet, amid the warmth, in our story, and that's just the sort of thing that gets me in the heart.
With all the recent furore ove...

E3. I wasn't sure what to expect, after the previous episode, and I'm pleased to say that Show is surprising me in the best way, in terms of the new bits of information we get, this episode.
The thing that intrigues me most, this episode, is the reveal, that the time the events occur, in each time loop, varies. In fact, from what I can tell, from the way Heyun and Shiqing map everything o...

SBS has just dropped the 3rd teaser for "A Business Proposal" and this is the only version I could find that has English subs. Apologies that the video quality isn't better.
The comic tone of the teasers isn't really grabbing me personally, but I'm not writing off this show completely, coz the teasers only tell you so much. It'd be great, if this show turns out to be fantastic. 😊

E1. I have to admit that the only reason I have this show on my radar, is because Junho's in it. However, I've heard that this one's a pretty solid show, objectively speaking, and that Show gets better and better as it goes, so I'm feeling pretty good about this one, right off the bat.
For a start, and to address the fangirl question in the room: YES. So far, it is absolutely worth seeing...

So far, the potential leads are Ahn Hyo Seop and Jeon Yeo Bin, though neither of them has confirmed as yet.
Kang Hoon's casting news appears to be more firm, however. He would be playing the second male lead character, Mo Junjie, played by Patrick Shih in the TW original.
I think I'm neutral about Kang Hoon's casting; I.. don't know how to feel about the potential casting of t...

Y'know, after Subway's invaded our drama screens in such a big way, for so many years, I had to giggle, when I saw that they've now got Junho plugging their sandwiches.
This single 40-second CF has just out-performed any and all Subway PPL, in all the dramas that I've ever watched - I now have slightly more positive feelings about Subway. It's like magic! 😂😂
Please enjoy. 😁...

I've had my eye on this one, since news dropped that it would exist.
It's a mini 4-episode drama about two people, played by Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee, who've been friends for two decades, but who, now having to live together for 2 weeks, find the line between love and friendship blurring.
I'm curious about this one because:

E2. What an interesting, interesting show!!
I'm pretty sure that part of the reason I'm so impressed with it, is because I'm not a connoisseur of time loop stories, so there aren't any parts that feel like tropes to me. At the same time, I also get the gut feeling that this show is just pretty darn excellence, regardless of whether or not you're a connoisseur of time loop stories.

I think it says a lot about this show, that, coming into the final stretch, I actually feel wistful at the thought of saying goodbye to our main characters. I legit never thought I'd ever say these words, about a zombie show, and yet, here we are.

It's a do-over sort of story, with our female lead Lin Beixing (Karlina Zhang) time-traveling back to high school, after her long-time boyfriend dumps her just before their wedding. With her life and career in a mess, this revisit to her teen years promises to be ...

E1. Ooh. Ok, I am intrigued.
I'd had very little idea of what to expect, coming into this one. All I knew, before starting on this, was that there was a Groundhog Day-esque sort of set-up, where our main characters find themselves in a continual time loop, where they die in a bus explosion, and their main focus is therefore to get themselves out of that loop.
How interesting, that w...

Well, I hadn't quite seen this coming, since most celebs delay their military service for as long as possible, but Nam Da Reum's following in Yoo Seung Ho's footsteps, and enlisting early.
He's 21 years old in Korean age (only 19 in international age), so he could have theoretically delayed his enlistment for another 7 or so years. I do think it's wise for him to c...
