TV5 and Cignal held a virtual mediacon Thursday on the eve of the arrival of new programming amid the network’s renewed focus on entertainment.
The 2017 OCN drama Save Me (구해줘) may frustrate and enrage you at the start. But this 2017 OCN drama series quickly evolves into a bizarre, terrifying and twisted psychological thriller.
It is an outright crime that we were robbed of four more episodes of the tvN drama A Piece of Your Mind (반의 반/Half of a Half). This beautifully poetic and character-driven look at healing, strength and courage most definitely had enough material to fulfill the standard 16-episode order. And with a talented cast at its disposal, the biggest disappointment is not only how it was sadly overlooked by audiences, but how it was inexplicably derided as well.
While I am under no delusion about The Amazing Race Philippines ever being resurrected by TV5 (or am I? lol), how might a possible relaunch work?
Jang Na Ra and Son Ho Jun lead the beautifully poignant and emotionally resonant 2017 KBS drama Go Back Couple (고백부부). The series is sincere in its reminders about our everyday lives and also gives hope for those who may be facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a television series as hilarious, as fun, as romantic, as emotional or as wholesome as I’m Not a Robot (로봇이 아니야).
The three-episode KBS drama series Page Turner (페이지 터너) is just as timely today as it was when it first aired in 2016. A hopeful and positive story about youths finding their way.
While the initial draw to the series may be its unique paranormal thriller premise, tvN’s He is Psychometric (사이코메트리 그녀석) keeps you watching for the relationships and the bonds the characters form with each other and the audience.
The South Korean web series Where Your Eyes Linger (너의시선이머무는곳에) is seen as a sort of test run for possible future, full-length productions. And it is a solid, positive start.
The 2018-2019 Olive drama series Dear My Room (Eunjoo’s Room/은주의 방) is a bright, hopeful slice-of-life series that tells the story of young, everyday people working to find themselves and their path in life.
