Survivors and Multitasking Housewives

New dramas are approaching, which means new and hopefully good surprises. Today I talk about"Missing 9"and its upcoming premiere before I look at the confusing production of"Housewife Detective", a series about a housewife tackling law enforcement. News are a bit scarce this week, but we have some interesting things coming up.

Seeing a group of people lose their minds and become violent holds very superficial entertainment value, but I hope"Missing 9"can at least be this much. The series hasnew materialout and has released a special episode and behind the scenesinformation. I am nervous about this premise in Korean drama, but to alter a quote by Emerson Cod of "Pushing Daisies" a bit, "Future Me" might go "I told you so", but "Now Me" is just going to sit back and watch.

"Housewife Detective"is about a housewife who becomes a detective's sidekick. The serieshas castJo Hyeon-jaeandHong Soo-ah, butPark Jin-hee's casting has been denied as amere rumor. The drama aims for a simultaneous release in Korea and abroad, but a lot is still uncertain. As far as the premise goes, it can swing either way in terms of how it treats women, but it can hopefully deliver.
