K-dramas

First Look at Yoon Doo Joon and Kim So Hyun in KBS Mon-Tues Drama Radio Romance

While video definitely killed the radio star, it’s unclear yet if Youtibe will kill the television star. With that said, it’s nice to see a K-drama focus on an older form of entertainment medium that is radio, with plenty of people still tuning in daily to keep abreast of the news or keep company with the chatter. Upcoming KBS Mon-Tues romantic comedy Radio Romance puts a top actor in Yoon Doo Joon as a fish out of water hosting a radio program produced and written by Kim So Hyun.

The rub is that he’s horrible at improvisation and can only work accordingly to a script and radio is all about improv, while she’s terrible at writing despite that being her primary job and more adept at management. This is exactly the opposites attract type of quirky workplace romance that I adore when done right, and it helps that Kim So Hyun turned 20 years old in Korean age with the start of the new year and with it shedding the final remnants of her being too young for onscreen romantic adult pairings. The drama premieres at the end of January after Jugglers.

  • This drama has a beautiful nostalgic feel to it. I'm really looking forward to this because of both kim sohyeon and yun dujun. They give me a feeling of being warm & gentle in real life.

  • I'm really looking forward to Radio Romance, Mother and Children of a Lesser God for the first half of 2018. They all have solid actors with offbeat storylines.

  • Idk about korean age but she's still 18 and she still looks way younger than him so im not comfortable with this i guess I'm skipping this lol

      • U literally can't comment on anything on this site lmao it's like ppl aren't allowed to have different opinions.

      • @Chh: right? KSH fans are so damn defensive it's hilarious. You decide to skip the drama for valid reason imo and it's none of their business, who even ask for their opinion on your skipping? lol

    • I'm there with you. It's creepy af but tailor-made to please ahjussideul affected by the "Pygmalion's syndrom".

      • That would be half the dramas in 2018 you need to miss then. Mr Sunshine, My Ahjusshi & About Time have major age gaps as well. Not to mention super hit dramas like Goblin, Oh My Ghostess & Doctors. The only one that's creepy is you to think this kind of thing doesn't happen in real life. Kim Go Eun - Shin Ha Kyung were how many years apart? Hyeri - Tony Ahn, IU - Jang Ki Ha. They did more than just kiss and hold hands.

      • umm..i've seen the naver comments for this drama, its almost entirely from young teen girls who are going gaga over the chemistry of the lead pair. do they also suffer from pygn whatever syndrome? i'm huge fan of both the leads so i'm happy to see them together looking sweet.

    • Yup, it really rubs me the wrong way how these barely legal girls plays love interest opposite men 10+ years older than them. Definitely not watching this.

  • I really like KSH drama choices. I find her a very sensible girl with a good head on her shoulders. She impresses with every performance. Korea is lucky to have such a talented young star.

  • Omgee love that hair! She's so beautiful even with the perm! I love listening and watching to Korean live radio so this drama is a must for me!

  • I just read the discussion on psh article, it looks like she is still struggling to be completely free of her child actress image even after she become almost 30. It is good then ksh start shedding image now only. It will be few years before anyone accept her as full grown adult no matter what she do so it is good she start early.

    • I personally find it slightly uncomfortable too. But she made a very wise comment recently: “I’m nervous and afraid, but I’m going to have a good time acting with good people. I decided to act in this drama because I was drawn to the boldness and brightness of my character.”

      I will watch this drama to support this brave girl who love acting but also mature enough to know how seedy this industry can be.

  • If im not mistaken, yoo eunhye also did this kind of hairstyle in one of her drama. Well, i wonder if koreans will love this type of drama. But im gonna give it a try. Ksh is one of the best young actresses in Korea. While Doojoon, hmm... He's so manly!
