There is a new romance K-drama cast and ready to film for a 2025 release. It’s titled Shining and will star Chae Jong Hyeob and idol-actress Kim Min Ju. He’s been a male lead for years now and does quiet romance so well but she’s getting her first female lead role after being a supporting star in a few dramas so I’ll reserve my impression after seeing her onscreen here. The drama is from the screenwriter of A Piece of Your Mind and the plot deals with a young romance between the leads who break up due to life situations and reunites ten years later in their 30’s for a second chance. It’s descripted as an uplifting romance and will be directed by the PD of Our Beloved Summer.

I feel like Park Hye Ryun‘s last drama Start-up, which I loved but ended up being so polarizing with viewers due to the male lead ship wars, made her next drama Castaway Diva turn out so uneventful. This weekend the … Continue reading
