I gotta give screenwriter Park Hye Ryun credit for not being a one-note pony, her dramas manage to toggle humor, romance, and seriousness without being weighed down by any one element.

It’s probably slowed down to the point that it may not surpass 9th … Continue reading →
A win is a win so I’m sure SBS is happy that it’s latest Mon-Tues offering continues the network dominance in that time slot.

This really is a pairing of endorsement synergy, with teen actress Kim Yoo Jung taking the down jackets of sportswear brand Fila to new visual levels.
