Lee Jin-wook cast as I Need Romance 2′s hero
The sequel to tvN’s popular thirtysomething-career-ladies-navigate-love-sex-and-work drama I Need Romance has landed a leading man, and it’s Lee Jin-wook (Myung-wol the Spy). It’s the year of the macho man, and I’m fully onboard that train. (Seriously, it’s the latest *thing* — we had the flower boy, the beast man, the flower boy again (those’ll never... More »

Standby on standby for weeklong High Kick 3 specials
The premiere of new MBC sitcom Standby, which has released its promo posters, has been postponed one week as the recently ended High Kick 3 follows up its finale with a week of special broadcasts.

High Kick 3: Episodes 120-123 (Final)
High Kick 3 finally comes to an end! It both feels like it’s whizzed by in a blur and taken forever. It’s because the stories tend to fly right by, cute and brisk and moving right along to make room for more good stuff without belaboring points. But when you step back and take a... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 4
You know, I wasn’t sure I was totally grasping how the time-travel and reincarnation and inheritance conflicts would all fit — or whether they would at all — but with this episode we start to see the threads coming together, and I’m going with it. I’m still not sure I love the corporate battle, but... More »

Ji Jin-hee picks sageuk for next drama
I wonder if Ji Jin-hee has an explicit career strategy to alternate sageuk with contemporary, since that’s basically what he’s been doing the past decade. There was Joseon-era Dae Jang Geum, then modern dramas Spotlight and The Man Who Can’t Marry, then back to sageuk for Dong Yi, back to the future for Take Care... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 3
So cute. I’m surprised at how much humor you can tease out of the fish-out-of-water premise. On one hand, there are endless modernities to comment on, but on the other, you might think the jokes would start to wear thin.

Queen In-hyun’s Man releases romantic promos
Oh, right; I’d almost forgotten about that other time-traveling fusion sageuk romance drama, Queen In-hyun’s Man, what with the fusion/period-warping glut in recent days. But promos are out, and I find the poster’s imagery dreamy and atmospheric — not what I expected from the Vampire Prosecutor PD, but not a bad thing, either. I could... More »
