Hopefully the next weekender will not feature yet another awful, horrible mother.

Looking forward to watching the KBS drama specials when they are released.

1 is definitely not a weakender. Casting is never a guarantee for top acting so I'm besotted by the writer and director. This one is not to be missed.

Calenders marked.

3. Not the uniforms please. Jung So-min, yes. But Jung Hae-in? I have to unsee that.

4. A Park Byung-chul and Yoon Se-ah reunion is a treat. Those two complemented each other in SKY Castle.

5. Kim Mu-yeol. I do hope he gets space to flex his chops here. I scramble to find his scenes in many of his previous works of late, save for Grid.

I am willing to check out Iron Family for Kim Jung Hyun. I know I am unlikely to watch all the episodes. Who knows maybe that will be the first weekender I will finish?

Although I hoped for a little more story crumbs in tvN’s first teaser for Love Next Door, even my grumbling self can’t deny the cuteness that is Jung Hae-in (D.P. 2) and Jung So-min’s (Alchemy of Souls) friendship growing up.

As previously promised this Jung So Min fangirl is eager for any and all crumbs for this drama. Thank you for sharing the teaser.

I think the problem with KBS dramas isn't the slot but the plot. Love Song for Illusion, Nothing Uncovered and Dare to love me have a weak plot in common. Even if we take a look at last year's dramas, most had a good beginning but went downhill along the way (Oasis/ My Perfect Stranger/ My Lovely Boxer), some where already weak from the start (Brain Works) and only The Matchmakers ended up being a hit.

For the first time in ages, I am excited to read about a new weekender, as it badly needs a good script, a better female lead (she is the main reason I couldn't watch the recent one, and also one of the reasons I gave up watching Doctor Lawyer and Kokdu: Season of Deity.

• He's the Black Dragon might be worth checking out

• Still pained that they changed the great title Best Friend's Son to the bland and unimaginative Love Next Door

• Think I'd like to see No Way Out

The problem with me is that for a long while now I've seen dramas I've been interested in watching, then when they start airing I can't bring myself to watch them. The few I start I lose interest in very quickly.

And still I persist in keeping an eye out for upcoming dramas. Tsk tsk

1. Why is he getting casted? Lmao
Meanwhile, actress with lesser controversies are hated
2. Moon ga young doing office romance again. *yawn
3. 30 year olds playing high school students *cringe

I am super excited for Iron Family! And Seo Sook-hyang is the reason as she has written numerous dramas that I love / like - from Lawyers of Korea in 2008 to Pasta, Miss Korea, and my favorite romcom of all times: Jealousy Incarnate. I tried Wok of Love but honestly cannot stomach Jang Hyuk losing the girl to Lee Jun-ho (sorry to all his fans). Then I’ve been waiting and waiting for her next drama - the space sci-fi one with GHJ and LMH which still has no airing date.

She could do family weekender well if you look at how successfully her blending the multi-families and generational relations as well as workplace dramas so seamlessly in in JI with fun and aplomb. I think JI can certainly have room to fit in another 4 episodes - in addition to its 24-ep run - to ‘complete’ the relationships outside the main couple. It’s therefore good to know Iron Family is 30 eps.

I hope KJH could recover his career here. He is a good actor and what happened personally sounded like a victim himself of the circumstances, bearing in mind that we have no way to know the true story.

*rolls eyes* People thinking that KJH did not suffer enough for whatever happened between him and SYJ must've been living under a rock of the size of Everest. Granted, I don't think she deserved such a terrible fall from grace either, because celebs personal mess should stays private and not affect their livelihood this much, imo. If throwing a fit or few on filming set was a valid reason to ruin actor's career with no chance of revival, 90% of them would've have to retire asap lol. In conclusion, I am no moral police and cringe hard at everyone who think themselves all that knowledgeable and holy to throw around insults and wish people they never met to get jobless. Imagine yourself being suddenly left with no work to pay bills AND booed by the entirety of internet on top of dealing with a particularly bad breakup...

Back to the news, I'm not sure I'm in any shape to attempt a weekender (even with reduced episodes number), but hopefully it will be a nice one. Bumbling rich boy meets cleaner's daughter - ah, the BOF flashbacks! - sounds like a good brainless fun if done well.
