Ji Sung, Jeon Mi-do, Kwon Yul, and Kim Kyung-nam take the lead in our rather harrowing crime mystery. Ji Sung is an ace detective (but of course) who is forcibly kidnapped in the line of duty and becomes addicted to drugs. But in addition to that mess, he’s investigating the death of an old classmate which is where the shady also-classmates Kwon Yul and Kim Kyung-nam come in. If you’re ready for an intense and convoluted tale — with a cast that can more than set this thing ablaze — this might be the drama for you. TL;DR: Ji Sung is back on our screens and I’m here for it RELATED POSTS Source link

[Beanie Recs] Actors in dual roles » Dramabeans

0 May 22, 2024May 21, 2024 [Beanie Recs] Actors in dual roles by DB Staff Ahoy, Beanies! It’s time to gather your collective genius for a recommendation series that features you and your drama knowledge. We’ll drop a drama conundrum and leave it up to you to provide a drama rec, and the appropriate rationale behind it, be it long or short.  @Britney: I recently watched Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun and I liked that Lee Jun-ki not only played dual roles but they also interacted with each other. I wanted to know if there are more dramas where an actor not only played dual roles but the characters also interacted. If that’s too hard, then just dramas where an actor plays dual roles would be appreciated. Have a very particular drama itch that needs scratching? In need of a Beanie Rec? Email us at hello @ dramabeans.com and we’ll feature your topic in a future post. RELATED POSTS Source link

Song Seung-heon comes back with a vengeance in Player 2 » Dramabeans Korean drama recaps

Published by Parlour News

Song Seung-heon comes back with a vengeance in Player 2 by lovepark What’s more important to a swindler than money? Not much, unless you’re talking about revenge. The upcoming crime-action sequel Player 2: Master of Swindlers returns after nearly six years, and our swindlers are back with an even bigger and bolder plan. The show stars original cast members Song Seung-heon (Black Knight) as leader Kang Ha-ri, Lee Shi-un (Bad Prosecutor) as hacker Im Byung-min, and Tae Won-seok (My Demon) as muscle Do Jin-woong. Joining the caper as the group’s new driver Cha Jae-yi is Jang Gyuri (Pyramid Game), and playing the enigmatic Jung Soo-min is Oh Yeon-seo (Cafe Minamdang). The latest teaser opens with Ha-ri cornered on a rooftop as he tells his crew that there is 30 billion won (approximately $22 million USD) on the line. He claims that money is the most important thing, but I get the feeling that his tune will soon change. As our heroes laugh in their getaway vehicle, someone crashes into them and sends them flying.

The Midnight Romance in Hagwon: Episodes 3-4 » Dramabeans

Published by Parlour News

The Midnight Romance in Hagwon: Episodes 3-4 by Dramaddictally The cut-throat competition of hagwon teachers intensifies as our leads team up to take down their enemy. But all that strategizing and planning means late nights at the office — where an undercurrent of romance is afoot, even if it looks like our heart-eyed hero and his overworked advisor are just going over their lecture notes.  EPISODES 3-4 I like that these episodes have their own mini-arc and we get to follow a project from inception to resolution — chalking up a point for our hagwon heroes at the end. With the competition between schools as well as individual teachers at the center of our story, I get the feeling that we’re in for more of these self-contained battles each week, ramping up the action toward the never-ending war for the students’ attention. And of course, on the sidelines, we have our romance, which is a slippery, slow-moving thing that feels almost too fragile to mention. As of yet, it’s just a former student with a …

The Atypical Family: Episodes 5-6 » Dramabeans

Published by Parlour News

The Atypical Family: Episodes 5-6 by Unit As our atypical show hits the halfway mark, our con artist heroine struggles between staying professional or giving into personal feelings, while our superpowered hero finally picks a side. But like with a house of cards, all it takes is a slight breeze for everything to come crashing down. EPISODES 5-6 We resume for the week with Gwi-ju and Da-hae’s “let’s see if we end up falling in love” kiss — which leaves Da-hae flustered from a combination of guilty conscience and heart flutters. As for Gwi-ju, if the moment was a tape, it’d be worn out due to the amount of times he travels back to it. But the Nile is a river in Egypt whose waters steer him into declaring that the kiss was “meh” — and this earns him a deserved punch to the face by Da-hae. Lol. Gwi-ju insists that Da-hae keeps the marriage registration thingy from Man-heum, but when Man-heum’s wrist watch goes missing from the family vault, the search leads her straight to …

Episodes 9-10 (Final) » Dramabeans Kdrama

Published by Parlour News

Chief Detective 1958: Episodes 9-10 (Final) by lovepark The prequel to the decades-long series comes to a boisterous finale filled with nostalgic callbacks and a strong sense of justice. From beginning to end, the show maintained its zippy pace and wacky tone. While superficial on some level, Chief Detective 1958 always portrayed itself as a more fun than serious affair, and judging on that metric, I think the drama delivered a satisfying conclusion. EPISODES 9-10 The last two episodes of Chief Detective breaks its mold a bit by devoting both hours to one case. Foreshadowed in previous weeks, we finally delve into the four notorious scions — a group of depraved womanizers drunk on their daddies’ power. Their infamy is widespread in the police department, but their luck runs out when their debauchery catches the attention of unit one. For months, women at a factory have gone missing, and though a friend of Officer Bong reported it a while ago, unit two dismissed it as mere runaways. As expected, the four scions are behind the disappearances, …

Script reading for High School Return of a Gangster by Jenzy Who’s ready for some body-swap hijinks? Streaming platform Wavve’s upcoming webtoon adaptation High School Return of a Gangster just released the script reading stills featuring their two leads Yoon Chan-young (Delivery Man) and Bong Jae-hyun (Twinkling Watermelon).The story follows Kim Deuk-pal, played by Lee Seo-jin (Behind Every Star), a 47-year-old hardened mob boss who doesn’t take lip from anybody. While he’s all bluster on the outside, deep-down he’s always had a desire to go to university, something his poor parents couldn’t afford when he was younger. It isn’t until one day, when he encounters the suicidal high-schooler Song Yi-heon (Yoon Chan-young), that he finds himself one step closer to his dream — although not in the way he might expect. You see, in the middle of their charged first meeting, somehow Deuk-pal ends up possessing Yi-heon’s body, making him now a teenager at the cusp of university entrance exams. And as Deuk-pal learns more about his current host, like how Yi-heon is a social …

[Drama chat] K-drama add-ons » Dramabeans

0 May 19, 2024May 18, 2024 [Drama chat] K-drama add-ons by Unit When it comes to dramas, I’m mostly a “watch the show and move on” type of viewer. I never really cared about the extra stuff until Queen of Tears came along and I fell into the rabbit hole of add-ons. I watched almost all the promotional interviews, the cast’s reactions to the episodes, their talk show appearances, behind-the-scenes footage of the drama, the special episodes and the likes. I especially liked the behind the scenes and special episodes because it made me appreciate the hard work and effort that cast and crew put into the show. (Plus I will never say no to seeing goofy Kim Soo-hyun’s NGs and ad-libs.)My entire week revolved around Queen of Tears when it aired, and I knew I had lost the plot when I waited on YouTube for the cast and crew to arrive at the wrap up party. Lol. It was a fun and immersive experience, but it was also exhausting. And while I can’t imagine …
