SBS Officially Cancelled Joseon Exorcist | No More Episodes Will Air From This Drama

Today, March 26, SBS officially confirmed the cancellation of Joseon Exorcist drama. They will no longer broadcast the remaining episodes even though the cast already filmed 80% of the show. SBS mentioned that they already paid most of the fees for the broadcasting rights to Joseon Exorcist before the termination of their contract. This is definitely a huge financial loss to both Joseon Exorcist production and its broadcasting network.

Mr. Queen Actress Shin Hye Sun Is Getting Hate Amidst The Joseon Exorcist Controversy

The Joseon Exorcist controversy is now getting out of hand and actress Shin Hye Sun is also getting involved with the backlash from Korean viewers. Even when Mr. Queen was long finished with remarkable high viewership ratings, more than a month as of writing, Korean viewers criticizing the show re-surfaced amidst the Joseon Exorcist's historical distortion controversy. We all know that Mr. Queen got backlash from the viewers too even way before it aired and during its airing period as well. However, upon release of statement of apology from Mr. Queen production, the hate comments slowly diminished for the succeeding episodes after 2nd episode. (See also: The Controversies That Mr. Queen Kdrama Endured) The show ended with a high viewership rating and even ranked 5th on tvN's history of dramas with high ratings. We all thought that the claims of South Korean viewers died down as the show successfully finished but we were all wrong! It seemed that Korean viewers aren't that forgiving at all!

Joseon Exorcist Drama Is In Big Trouble As It Faces K-Netz Backlash From 1st Episode

It's unfortunate that this drama has to face backlash from sensitive viewers only because of props used in episode 1. Joseon Exorcist may have gotten an adequate nationwide viewership rating on its first episode but it already disappoints some Korean viewers and dropped the drama on its 2nd episode. The root cause of all this? The Chinese props used when Prince Chungnyeong (Jang Dong Yoon) welcomed the western exorcist Yo Han and his interpreter Marco to a meal. K-netz were angered at use of Chinese foods such as mooncakes, dumplings and century eggs served for the guests. The alcohol that Marco devoured also was served in a Chinese style container and has a Chinese character written on it. All these made the K-netz sensitive and left a remark that this drama was distorting the nation's history. 

Joseon Exorcist's Jang Dong Yoon In Talks To Star In A New KBS Project

Jang Dong Yoon's latest drama Joseon Exorcist is about to premiere only tonight and we already have reports about him in talks with a new project called Oasis. He is indeed a busy man this year 2021! According to his agency, DongYi Company, he received an offer to star in Oasis as a lead character that's set in an 80's/90's, a period filled with people who are living with wrong social values, fierce life and several conflicts. 

'Search' Kdrama Wrapped Up With A Tear Jerking Finale

Episodes 9 and 10 combination is indeed a remarkable finale to close the story. Lots of questions were answered and problems were all resolved. This action-suspense drama is indeed one of my favorites in 2020. Although it only consisted 10 episodes, I could still leave a remark that this drama is exceptional. There were dull moments throughout the show, for sure, but not grave enough for anyone to drop this drama. In fact, these dull scenes, could be considered as 'calm before the storm' like when they were just introducing the characters on the show and finding the the clues for their mission/target. Yep, still essential moments so maybe it's inevitable to have such for a mystery genre but I wish they could have done better on how it flowed. Anyways, even so, I still love the drama! Everything about the characters to their mission, I love it all. 

Jang Dong Yoon | Quick Guide To The Cast Of Kdrama 'Search'

While we wait for the last 2 episodes, let's get to appreciate more of the actors that portray the characters in this drama. I came to like all of the cast as the story progresses and holds a special place in my heart, mainly the current Polaris unit. So without further ado, let me state important facts about them but for now let's start with the male lead.

1. Jang Dong Yoon as Yong Dong Jin 

Did you know that Jang Dong Yoon is as courageous as his character Yong Dong Jin? It was reported that when he was still studying, he once prevented a crime at a convenience store. While the robbery was being carried out, Jang Dong Yoon immediately called out the police. A quick and smart action that halted the robbery. His heroic act made him popular and became his ticket to get scouted to his current agency.

Last Target Is Revealed To Be Someone Related To Yong Dong Jin | Search Episode 8

My predictions before are coming to light now on the show as Lee Joon Sung finally exposed his father to the media for his sins while Yong Dong Jin's father was in fact, the commander from the 1997 DMZ special unit. Now that Dong Jin found out about it, the tension between him and assistant team leader Lee Joon Sung is rising up even more. Both men are righteous and are warmhearted despite their differences in attending problems, Joon Sung always has been calm while Dong Jin is aggressive, but I'm pretty sure that they would solve this matter as they fulfill their mission. Teamwork is the key to their success anyway.

Polaris Team Starts Searching For The Last Target | Search Episode 7

The mission ain't over yet as Polaris team has to search for the last target. It's the North Korean defector with an unknown substance that captain Song Min Gyu is looking for. Aish, Min Gyu is siding now the liar congressman Lee Hyuk for his survival. He's very determined to get to a higher position to protect and take revenge to those leaders who abandoned and stepped on him. He ain't a pushover you guys, prepare for the avenger. lol Hopefully he'll be on the right side before the story ends though.

Our assistant team leader, Lee Joon Sung on the other hand, remained to be protective of his comrades as he chose to be silent about Yong Dong Jin's involvement on the camcorder's secret from his father. What did her asked for his father as a favor though? Despite destroying the evidence, I still have faith in him that he'll help in disclosing the truth about his father. He seemed like a very righteous man, we just need to give him time.

Krystal And Jang Dong Yoon Killed The Target In Search Episode 6

There really is something about soldiers that make me utterly astonished. Probably because they are courageous and so smart in planning schemes to complete their missions. I'm pretty sure not all soldiers are like that so I'm only referring to some of them, our real heroes. 

Yong Dong Jin is so manly, smart and compassionate. He maybe reckless sometimes, but that's what makes him outstand from the other military dogs. He knows what he's doing and he's very attractive because of that. Too bad he's betrayed by the assistant team leader in keeping a huge secret. We all thought that Lee Joon Sung is a righteous soldier with the way he treats his comrades but it seemed like he's also a man easily swayed when it comes to a family member. He was already suspicious from the start about his father's acquired title of being a hero from surviving the 1997 DMZ Unit and yet when he finally learned the truth, he got all weak and sided his father's wrong doings. Ugh. This is awful, but I still have hopes that he can correct all of his father's sins.

A Strong Evidence From The Past Resurfaces In Search Episode 5

We're already halfway through this drama, and we got served with so many important revelations. Yup, this drama is telling us that they are now ready in bringing us a full length suspense and actions in the next episodes till its end. [Don't dissppoint me, Search team]

So basically the the special task force was sent to the DMZ not to just eliminate the target but also to find the evidence left from the 1997 mission where Lee Hyuk and General Han Dae Sik were survivors of. Interesting, isn't it? And there's a huge possibility that Yong Dong Jin's father is the team leader of that 1997 DMZ Operations. Definitely interesting! Let's not forget about Son Yerim's involvement in that past too, since she was the child of the North Korean refugee shot and killed that very time. 

The Target Comes Closer To Jang Dong Yoon and Krystal's Team In Search Episode 4

The mysterious creature is getting closer to civilization as it wanders out of the Demilitarized Zone. Clues were already thrown on previous episodes with animals missing, but it only got clearer when more evidences were found this episode.

Too bad that the special task force decided to search for the target at night, unaware that what they're looking for is already within their reach. 

On this episode, I honestly wonder why we're getting so much exposure about the villagers and then the ending comes and I've connected the dots. I wasn't suspicious or whatsoever and just thought that episode might just be one of those bad ones. But then as it progressed, I already have an idea that the creature would really appear in the village and their headquarters.

Krystal And Jang Dong Yoon's Past Romance Resurfaces In Search Episode 3

As I drag myself to watch the new episode of 'Search', I wasn't really expecting much from it because I've been disappointed from the first 2 episodes. But wow! I must have been too early judging it as plain and boring because this episode 3 made me realize I was wrong. 

Secret About Krystal's Birth Has Been Revealed In 'Search'

I don't think it's a good idea to watch this Kdrama late at night, and yet I did. It was definitely a wrong move! I had to cover my eyes to the scenes where the monster/ mysterous creature's appearing. Anyways I'm glad I survived it and still able to capture some important scenes. 

Yes, the title might confuse you if you didn't read it clearly. I'm only referring to Krystal's character in her Kdrama 'Search', of course. It seemed that in this episode, lots of details from the past were revealed and that includes important information about Son Ye-Rim's (Krystal) birth. This would really change everything about her future if someone else knew from the military, especially the bad guys with high ranks. They are all connected with their past and I kind of have a gut feeling that Dong-Jin (Jang Dong Yoon) has some connection to that as well. We should get more flashbacks! 

Krystal And Jang Dong Yoon's Drama 'Search' - First Episode

I've also watched today Krystal and Jang Dong Yoon's k-drama called Search, and after watching the first episode there are still a lot of questions unanswered inside my mind. The mystery is killing me, and that's what this drama is all set for. They are to solve the mystery behind the soldier's disappearance. At first I thought that will be just a battle between North and South Korean soldiers since I haven't really read fully the synopsis about it first but then we have supernatural creatures involved in the mystery as well. 

It turned out that Krystal's character is already acquainted with Jang Dong Yoon's character from the very beginning. I wonder what's their past because despite acting aloof to each other in their sudden reunion for a mission, they seemed to really care for each other. Perhaps they've worked together beforehand.
