Was that really all Wang Qiang’s hair pre haircut. He had a wild look but it was kind of too bad he had it cut lol. Nice to see Wang Qiang again after his beautiful performance in Youku’s 2023 high school drama THE HOPE (5 stars!) I am into episode 9 as of now. Overall I think Youku’s SANDSTORM started strong, interesting murder mystery, interesting location, fine performances. However once we entered the middle episodes (extended back story info) I think the drama bogged down. I hope to see more of detectives detecting as we move onto the conclusion.
Quoting the synopsis: “ Lee Ho Su is a lawyer at a large law firm with a tall appearance and a seemingly carefree attitude.” Jinyoung’s height is reportedly 178cm or 5’10”. Jinyoung recently gave a us beautiful performance in Channel A’s THE WITCH. I am not sure yet if I will be following him on with this drama. I will wait to see about US availability.
As a US viewer my hope is to first see KBS’s PUMP UP THE HEALTHY LOVE on Kocowa’s “Coming Soon” list and then on Viki US’s “Coming Soon” list. I will admit however that I am starting to feel some availability angst.
Through episode 16. Decent crime drama but imo nnot in the league with IQIYI’s recent 2024 crime dramas LOST IN THE SHADOWS and WE ARE CRIMINAL POLICE.
Can someone clarify a casting question I have about KBS’s CATCH YOUR LUCK aka GOOD LUCK on Viki US? The Kim Min Seok in the MDL cast ⬆️ (tvN’s LOVELY RUNNER) is not the Kim Min Seok (Netflix’s MR. PLANKTON) listed in the Viki US cast. Which KMS will appear in CATCH YOUR LUCK?
Finished WATCH YOUR BACK and enjoyed it. Note: If you make it through the final episode (24) there is an epilogue tacked on after the credits start with just under 2 minutes remaining. Don’t miss it.
Alternate title: MS PLANKTON. Soompi reported on March 5 that TVING’s WAY BACK LOVE’s episodes 1 and 2 will air April 3. Thank you Viki US for licensing WAY BACK LOVE.
Through episode 6 I am really enjoying iQIYI’s WATCH YOUR BACK. The cast is wonderful. I thought the actress playing Captain Hua (Guo Ke Yu) looked familiar and then it hit me. Guo Ke Yu played the mom in last years excellent crime drama from iQIYI LOST IN THE SHADOWS. Talk about two different roles.
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this drama. Since this a Youku-TVB collaboration can I assume the story will take place in Hong Kong? Cantonese option please? Last year I enjoyed Tencent’s Hong Kong based drama SEE HER AGAIN.
