Wrapping up our week of premieres on Saturday, October 14 is Black on OCN (1) and Revolutionary Love (1) on tvN.

The numbers after the drama titles are links to previous posts with teasers/drama info. I will be making a few more posts this upcoming week for dramas premiering later in the week.  There's not much news to cover this week, mostly just a few casting news stories.

Right on the heels of Bride of the Water God 2017, Shin Se-kyung is jumping into another supernatural romance drama. Kim Rae-won has also officially confirmed, it’ll be his first foray into the genre.

Black Knight is about an innocent and pure man who takes on a dangerous fate for the woman he loves. Kim Rae-won will be playing the main character, who is a young successful businessman. He had a rough childhood, so he reached emotional and physical maturity at a young age. Despite being a pure romantic, he is scarily impassive at times, though he can also be gentlemanly and humorous. He went to high school in the United States, majored in physics, and graduated medical school before becoming an entrepreneur.

Shin Se-kyung will play a travel agent who works in the hotel reservations department but has never actually traveled abroad. She supports her maternal spinster aunt, but they’re extremely poor. In order to survive, she’s adopted a cheerful and optimistic attitude, but she feels a lonely weariness inside. I’m not quite sure where the supernatural aspect comes in, but earlier reports stated that their love story would span centuries.

KBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama Black Knight is set to premiere in December.


Actress Lee Young Ae is set to make her return to the TV screen with a espionage melodrama “Lee Mong”.


Producer Go Dae Hwa, who has worked on multiple large-scale productions like MBC’s “Jumong,” KBS2’s “Hwang Jin Yi,” and SBS’s “Doctor Stranger,” will be teaming up with director Yoon Sang Ho, who was in charge of MBC’s “The Legend” and SBS’s “Saimdang, Light’s Diary.”

The new drama will be set in Seoul and Shanghai under the rule of Japanese imperialism, and will be a blockbuster espionage melodrama that follows Lee Young Jin, a surgeon who becomes a spy for the provisional government in Shanghai and gets thrown into the hurricane that was the Pacific War.

The drama will begin filming in 2018.

TOL is my go-to drama as well but I agree - it's kinda boring right now. I'm not sure how they are gonna make it more exciting, but right now i'm not a fan of the FL and am still wondering why both men (esp Jung Woo) have been waiting 5 yrs for her lol. I really liked the eps before they got back in the present tho. N yes kjw is fine as hell <3

Hopefully there will be a discussion post on it soon!

I started While You were sleeping which I am enjoying. Still watching Hospital Ship, Andante, and My Golden Life. Just finished Girls Generation 1979.

But next week with so many new one's starting that I want to see I may put My Golden Life on hold. It's 50 episode longs so if any of the new one's I don't like I can go back to it.

I want to try Because This is My First Life, The Package, Revolution of Love and Go Back. But we will have to see time wise what all I can fit in. (If I stay off facebook and Livejournal I would have more time for my drama's :))

Definitely checking out Buamdong Revenge Social Club. I wasn't considering Go Back originally, but I might also check that out...still on the fence because time travel dramas just haven't really worked out that well.

I've been watching Age of Youth 2 and While You Were Sleeping. Love Age of Youth and am sincerely hoping it's a good ending that provides closure. While You Were Sleeping has been surprisingly fun to watch. I love the humor, and the characters are likeable. I just worry about the logical reasoning behind how the premonitions thing works. I couldn't continue W because there were so many new rules and things happening that it wasn't fun to watch, and I ended up dropping it. Hope it doesn't turn into one of those dramas with a promising start that falls flat in the middle.
