We should have gotten these first lol. What’s a good romance drama promo without starting with the romance aspect of it, namely stills of the leads in one frame. The two newly released drama stills from Perfect Crown finally show something happening with leads IU and Byun Woo Seok. His character has been quite two-dimensional for me in the promos … Continue reading →
The Cha Eun Woo tax evasion scandal started before his fellow agency mate Kim Sun Ho but that one wrapped up quickly (admission and apology and payment of taxes) while his seems to still be ongoing for whatever reason. For scandals its a double edged sword of concluding quickly to move on faster or drag on until hopefully the next … Continue reading →
I do like reunions of leads from hit dramas but these two Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui I have no feels about since I didn’t watch Blossom and neither ever appealed to me strongly before.
