1st teaser for upcoming kdrama "Marry My Husband"

It seems like do-over revenge-for-being-murdered is kinda Dramaland's flavor of the day..? It sounds kinda similar to Perfect Marriage Revenge, which is pretty popular among viewers right now.

I'm not sure if this one will be my kinda show yet; I think it'd depend on Show's chosen tone and overall execution. Let's see!

Show's synopsis on MDL reads:

"Kang Ji Won is married to Park Min Hwan, but their marriage is troubled due to his selfishness and his demanding mother. Ji Won...

Subbed trailer for upcoming kdrama "Begins ≠ Youth"

Remember when I first shared the first trailer, about a drama that would be based on BTS Universe?  Well, here's the second, longer, trailer, and as far as I can tell, BTS fans approve.

Show is reflected on MDL as being 12 eps, and word on the street is that it could be released by Christmas this year. No word yet on which platforms will carry it.

Another trailer for upcoming kdrama "Death's Game"

We get glimpses of other guest stars in this new trailer, and Show is definitely looking like a star-studded collection of guest appearances now.

This makes it much easier for folks to browse the Deep Dive, without necessarily having to scroll through walls of text that they're trying not to...

Early Access: The Story of Park's Marriage Contract E1-2

E1-2. Overall, I'd say that Show's off to a promising start, and I'm feeling pretty confident that this will work out to be a satisfying watch.

Honestly, I was a little thrown by the difference in tone between these first two episodes, but I figure that it makes sense, within the structure of the story.

In episode 1, we get the Joseon part of our story, where everything's being set up for our Joseon heroine, Yeon Woo, to suddenly find herself in modern Seoul.

I thought Show ...

New trailer for upcoming c-drama "A Journey To Love"

I'm getting vibes very similar to "My Journey To You" (Why with the similar titles too, Dramaland? 😅), with the comic moments mixed in with dark, stylish angst. I'm definitely curious about this one.

New teaser for upcoming kdrama "My Happy End"

Uh. Show doesn't look like it's going to be happy at all, really. This doesn't vibe like "Go Back Couple" where it's a do-over romance; this vibes more like makjang dramatics with makjang sized unhappiness. 😅
