Why “The Veil” is One of 2021’s Most Highly Anticipated K-dramas
If you’re not watching “The Veil” yet, you should! Why? The plot, the cast, and the blockbuster feel (thanks to a whopping $13 million budget!) are just some of the reasons.
“Bring It On, Ghost” (싸우자 귀신아)
The series parable seems to be that if you have hate in your heart, you are susceptible to being influenced to hurt others, just because you can. “Bring It On, Ghost” started off as an uneven series. But once you get past the first couple episodes, it becomes a must-see K-drama that’s filled with action and a lot of heart.
“Penthouse: War in Life (Season 3)” (펜트하우스)
What started out as a compelling makjang series ended with a bloody mess, where vengeance wasn’t sweet. Rather, it took over the main characters’ lives to the point where they could see nothing else but hate.
Meet the Stars of “The Veil”
“The Veil” is one of most highly-anticipated K-dramas of the year. Meet the charismatic stars, Namkoong Min and Park Ha Sun.
The 4-episode K-drama, “Check Out the Event,” is Perfect for a Quick Binge Watch
Would you take a romantic vacation with an Ex if the trip was all-expenses paid? That’s part of the plot in “Check Out The Event,” a new four-episode K-drama about a woman who’s dumped by her musician boyfriend.
“Mine” (마인)
“Mine” is a women-centric K-drama in which the worst actions have been created by men. Their immorality serves as a cause and effect for a chaebol family’s misery.
Why “Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo” is No. 1
What’s makes “Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo” the No. 1 viewed K-drama on KOCOWA? It’s the trifecta of cast, girl power and food!
“Kingdom: Ashin of the North” (킹덤: 아신전)
“Ashin of the North” is screenwriter Kim Eun-Hee’s concession to “Kingdom” fans, who are eagerly awaiting the third season of the popular Netflix series. This stand-alone episode — or film, depending on how you view it — is entertaining, but not nearly of the same caliber of storytelling as the first two seasons of this zombie period piece.
Jang Ki Yong Enlists in the Military on August 23
“Come and Hug Me” star Jang Ki Yong announced that he will enlist on Monday, August 23. The popular actor is leaving while enjoying great success as an actor. See you in 18 months, Ki Yong. Fighting!
“Racket Boys” (라켓소년단)
“Racket Boys” is a sweet series centering around a teenager, who’s forced to quit baseball when his father moves them from Seoul to the countryside. Disappointed and bitter, Hae-Kang begrudgingly joins the badminton team — which his father coaches — on the condition that if the team wins a medal, his dad will get them Wi-Fi at their house.
Jinyoung and Krystal Heat Up “Police University”
“Police University” stars Jinyoung as a former hacker and Krystal as a judo expert, whose dream it is to become a police officer. Let’s take a look back at how these K-pop idols started off their acting careers.
“Rugal” (루갈)
As with Choi Jin-Hyuk’s previous police procedural, “Tunnel,” there are some convoluted plot issues that drag down “Rugal.” Choi is handsome and charismatic, but he can only do so much with so-so dialogue.
“Oh My Ghost” (오 나의 귀신님)
The first half of “Oh My Ghost” is what I refer to as a laundry series. I was so disinterested in the plot that it took me months to finish, and most of it was while I was sorting and folding laundry. But all that changed in the second half when the series veered from the repetitive plot of a horny ghost wanting to bed a handsome chef, and turned into a thrilling murder mystery.
“Move to Heaven” (무브 투 헤븐: 나는 유품정리사입니다)
“Move to Heaven” is a beautiful and at times brutal series that tells so many touching stories. One of the most important aspects was in how the series showed respect for the dead, even when the supposed loved ones of the deceased don’t seem to care.

“Space Sweepers” (승리호)
“Space Sweepers” has a lot of things going for it — great acting, cinematography, special effects. But once you’re done oohing and ahhing at the visual onslaught, it’ll sink in that what the film lacks is a cohesive storyline.
“Beyond Evil” (괴물)
“Beyond Evil” is one weird (in an interesting way) Korean series that centers on the search for a serial killer, who murdered multiple women — including the protagonist’s younger sister. Virtually all the major characters are suspects at one point or another, with damning evidence that has been carefully weaved into the storyline.
