Halftime Report: Road No. 1
Back by popular demand, it’s Round 2 of: Show vs. Girlfriday. I thought I’d check in with Road No. 1 at the halfway point, to see how it’s progressed since we last faced off in battle. To be clear: this is an experiment of sorts—I have not watched Episodes 2-9, so that I could come... More »

Go Hyun-jung quits Daemul, then comes back
I don’t think I’m going to believe that SBS’s Daemul will actually make it into being until it’s finally on the air, considering the way it has been plagued with production issues. Most recently, leading actress Go Hyun-jung, who was cast two years ago playing the nation’s first female president, clashed with the production company... More »

Moon Geun-young’s play sells out in 2 minutes
Tickets went on sale on Thursday for Closer, the stage play starring Moon Geun-young in her theater debut with co-star Eom Ki-joon, and sold out in 2 minutes for its first show. That puts Moon’s selling power on comparable levels with top idol stars; two other productions that sold out with similar speed were the... More »

Sci-fi mystery series Joseon X-Files on tvN
The historical sci-fi drama 기찰비록 means something like Mystery Investigation Record, but it’s being described as a Joseon X-Files and that’s a more accurate descriptor so that’s what I’ll call it. The tvN cable series stars Kim Ji-hoon (Wish Upon a Star) as a coolly logical investigator and Im Jung-eun (Swallow the Sun) as the... More »

I Am Legend is gearing up for its premiere in just over a week (it’s a Monday-Tuesday show), and the cast has added another member in Go Eun-mi. She’ll play a has-been singer named Ran-hee, who was a rival of Seol-hee (Kim Jung-eun) back in their high school days when they both were hot young... More »

Coffee House: Page 15
There’s only a week left of Coffee House (and three more recaps after this one). What’s interesting is that I am really enjoying the episodes, and the acting, and the characters (mostly). And y’all know how much I love Kang Ji-hwan. So it’s a curious how this drama has consistently entertained me, but it hasn’t... More »

Behind-the-scenes stills from Bad Guy
It’s a little odd to see “new” images of Kim Nam-gil come out because we know he just headed off for military service a week ago. But his drama Bad Guy is still on the air, so we’re still getting teases and promos. Plus, maybe because of the serious tone of the show, I particularly... More »
