I’m glad to see that rising actor Kim Young Dae has a good agency behind him to support his decision to leave the soon to start filming KBS K-drama School 2021.

A new find for me in 2021 on the male actor front now includes Bae In Hyuk, I really really liked him in recently concluded rom-com My Roommate is a Gumiho. He made a one-dimensional second male lead character with a crush on the female lead into someone sincere and memorable. If Jang Ki Yong‘s sweet as pie gumiho who … Continue reading →

Is that what the drama is about, a bunch of successful idols saying “f*#k it!”? But before we can all figure … Continue reading →
