Ojakkyo Brothers: Series Wrap-up
Here we are at the end of the road for the heartwarming weekend family series Ojakkyo Brothers, which concluded its 58-episode run today on KBS, recording series-high ratings at 36.3% for the finale. It was by no means a perfect series, and had stretches of episodes that could have been condensed or done away with... More »

Ojakkyo Brothers: Halftime report
This show is quickly starting to rival my favorite family comedies. It’s got a great sense of humor, and it’s not afraid to let characters make massive mistakes, with the understanding that we’re going to be along for the ride when they learn, change, and grow. Now that I’m at the halfway-ish point, it’s time... More »

2011 KBS Drama Awards
Awards, awards, awards! And tons of pretty people. As with yesterday’s MBC Drama Awards, note that winners are decided in part due to popularity, in part due to ratings and politics. That said, I don’t think anyone will argue with their Daesang winner, Shin Ha-kyun (below), who has been tearing it up on Monday and... More »

Ojakkyo Brothers: An Introduction
One of the highest-rated shows of 2011 was actually one that we couldn’t include in the year-end reviews because of its length and that whole space-time continuum thing: the weekend family drama Ojakkyo Brothers, on KBS. I don’t normally pick up family dramas because I find it daunting to start a longer-running show. (I know,... More »

Uee: Acting, singing… “Every day is a blessing!”
This girl used to make my blood boil. She was so good at her evil eye rolling (Korean actresses seem to have a knack for this) as the bratty pop star in You’re Beautiful that at times I wondered if her eyes would permanently roll back into her skull. However, the much-delayed Birdie Buddy, which has... More »

Birdie Buddy to air Monday-Tuesdays on tvN
Birdie Buddy is finally going on the air. Again. After being pulled. Again. Let’s hope it sticks this time. It’ll be taking up the Monday-Tuesday slot on cable channel tvN, which makes it tvN’s third foray into prime-time programming (following Manny and the currently airing romantic comedy, I Need Romance). It had been announced previously... More »

UEE and Joo-won cast in weekend drama
Though I’m still not sure what will eventually become of Birdie Buddy, it looks like we’ll be able to see UEE in a different drama first, as she’s just been cast in KBS’s upcoming weekend series Golden Pond, alongside Baker King Kim Tak-gu‘s fresh face Joo-won. UEE plays a young woman whose father has disappeared,... More »

Birdie Buddy to unveil trailer online
Birdie Buddy is still adrift and without a broadcaster (so, ostensibly dead), but its producers aren’t just letting it fade away. At least, they’re trying to keep people interested, and have announced that they’ll unveil a teaser video on Youtube on March 18. The project began filming a whole year ago, at the end of... More »

Bye Bye, Birdie (Buddy)
Well, that was anticlimactic. After months of delays and shuffling around on the broadcast schedule, MBC has decided to drop Birdie Buddy from its upcoming lineup after all, which means that the golf drama that was to be singer UEE’s first leading role is no more. A source from MBC’s drama department stated that while... More »

Birdie Buddy finally gets an airdate
Finally, news of Group 8′s golf drama Birdie Buddy, which has been given a tentative airdate of March 2011, according to one representative from the production company on November 2. And it’s about time! It’s not that I’ve been looking forward to this show — I haven’t — but it did seem to languish for... More »
