Netflix’s My Demon is the talk of the town this winter season. The fantasy drama stars two huge names, Song Kang and Kim Yoo-Jung, in the leading roles of a 200-year-old demon and the human he falls in love with. From expensive luxury outfits to lavish localities and the visuals of the leading couple, the show screams “popular schoolkid.” Seeing as the show is the season’s biggest trend, fans are waiting with bated breath for the next episode. Unfortunately, the K-drama has been postponed by a week by Sbs as the network plans on airing the year-end drama award show, “2023 Sbs Drama Awards,” this weekend. Of course, this has left fans devastated, as it’s already a struggle waiting for weekly episodes. Now we meet our favorite demon and his wife in the new year on the 5th and 6th of January.

Byun hee-bong, a veteran South Korean actor who appeared in several films by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho, has died age 81.
Byun died on Monday after complications related to a return of the pancreatic cancer that had previously occurred and been treated, according to the semi-official Yonhap News agency. The precise circumstances of his demise were not disclosed.
He was born in Jangseon, South Jeolla Province, and started work at an unspecified time in live theater before becoming a voice performer for state TV network Mbc in 1966.
His TV work in the 1980s and 1990s included series including: 1981’s ”The First Republic”; 1985’s “The Joseon Dynasty 500 Years: Seouljungmae”; and 1999’s “The Legendary Doctor Hur Jun.”
His first reliably recorded feature film work was in Bong’s breakout 2000 film “Barking Dogs Never Bite.” Byun appeared in significant roles in three other films by Bong: the cultish “Memories of Murder,” in 2003; 2006 Cannes...

In the middle of the lockdown, somewhere, K-dramas had lost their way a little bit. A lot of old fans thought things were changing too much and too fast, so they lost interest. But at the same time, many new fans came on board thanks to the Ott Hallyu wave and superhits like Squid Game. Call it gatekeeping or call it bias, Og fans have a special place for dramas that came out between 2013 and 2016, and recently, that spark has returned. King The Land is a classic example, and now it seems Destined With You is joining the ranks. Fantastical like Goblin and ridiculous like My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. Right now, all the ingredients seem just right to make us fall in love with this show, like the love spell that Hong-Jo has cast in this episode.

The biggest fantasy K-drama to premiere in recent years was tvN’s and Netflix’s Alchemy of Souls. The K-drama’s storyline enthralled audiences in every episode as a fabricated mystical world combined magic, fated love, and destiny. Alchemy of Souls was divided into two parts by the Hong Sisters. While the Alchemy of Souls Season 2 finale tied up some loose ends, fans hope for more. But an Alchemy of Souls Season 3 is off the table.

One of the reasons why the K-drama gained massive success was because the Hong Sisters created it. Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran are notoriously known in South Korea as screenwriters whose works have always struck gold. Some of their credited works include My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox,...

Time travelers from the 22nd century. Freshly made kimchi as a weapon. Ancient aliens who have lived on earth since 1609 but just happen to look like supermodels. If you've ever watched "Healer," "Everybody, Kimchi!," or "You Who Came from the Stars," you have witnessed these wonders.
No one's saying Korean drama isn't a strange place. In fact, K-drama brings the cray more than just about anything on TV. But because K-drama is also a contradiction -- and a ridiculously watchable one, at that -- it balances its are-you-kidding-me insanity with familiar tropes and plenty of recurring themes. Within all the chaos, these five common factors are more comforting than Umma's famous bulgogi.
1. A Focus on Food
Never watch K-drama on an empty stomach. Food is a huge part of Korean culture, and K-drama's luscious framing makes its eats just as attractive as its stars. On any given episode of any given show,...
