So those of you watching the romance sageuk The Forbidden Marriage will have to tell me how male lead Kim Young Dae is doing. I watched the first episode, didn’t like or dislike it, but didn’t feel the urge to continue.

The new still is just female lead Kim Tae Ri with her face lit among the dark shadows and she just slays with the expression and aura.

Hahaha, I think K-netizens have created a new episode idea for Running Man. The hit Netflix drama The Glory continues to be buzzworthy three weeks into airing and one of the praised elements is the excellent casting for the most part.

Holy drama gods is this a veritable buffet of goodies for the eyes. I won’t even go into details on each drama because enough has been written on the casting and storylines already.
