  [HanCinema's Drama Review] "Argon" Episode 4
  2018/01/06
  "Argon" and the show within it of the same name have a surprise guest in this episode and they tackle some topics we do not often see in Korean drama, or rather often see painted in a very consistent and one-sided way. Sadly, the drama also throws a curve-ball at us with a certain character's health and this twists Baek-jin's arm into a decision that is necessary, but will only further infuriate his enemies,...More

  2017/12/27
  A cast after my own heart. After confirming Kim Tae-woo as Wan-seung's brother, "Mystery Queen Season 2" decided that we just don't have enough lovely gentlemen for the series and decided to go on an ajeossi casting spree.

The series is fast-paced and so far focuses more on its leading man, but there are characters around with solid potential. Step into the daily grind of reporting,...More

  [HanCinema's Drama Preview] "Argon"
  2017/09/02
  How does one find the truth in a world plagued by corruption, bad reporting, flimsy journalistic ethics and the distortion brought on by the need for speedy news and social media hype? Getting to the bottom of events is harder than ever in this day and age. "Argon" is the story of a group which fights against this. Premise Kim Baek-jin (Kim Joo-hyuk) is an anchor who only accepts facts. Lee Yeon-hwa (Chun Woo-hee) is a contract worker who wants to be a reporter. The two are part of the investigative show "Argon". The show prevents the distortion of the truth like the element prevents oxidation,...More

Even from this brief glimpse, the cast is quite suited to the fast-paced journalism world. The question now becomes, what will this eight-episode drama do to distinguish itself from the currently airing "Falsify"? It seems that it will veer a bit more towards the idyllic path of journalism rather than the dark, knitty gritty of "Falsify",...More
