I’m excited to see how 2020 pans out for rising actor Lee Jae Wook after 2019 gave him the breakout role in MBC drama Extraordinary You. I loved his performance of the tsundere type angry male lead character but by the end I was tired of so many erupting angry all the time.

The screenwriter of Crash Landing on You really has her hands on the steering wheel even into the final stretch. The story continues to balance deftly the romance, the friendships, and the humor, and does so across the border so scenes in South Korea and North Korea are just as interesting. As Se Ri and Jung Hyuj progress to couple … Continue reading →
