Apologies for the delayed post on jTBC drama Chocolate, a combination of my own impressions not yet fully formed until this week’s episodes 5-6 and also due to work travel.

I love Ha Ji Won and Yoon Kye Sang but I had a third reason to check out their upcoming jTBC melodrama Chocolate and that would be Jang Seung Jo.

This full lead casting will be so perfect and epic but there are still too many moving parts to celebrate just yet. K-actor Jang Seung Jo may join the upcoming melodrama healing romance Chocolate as the second male lead, with offers out to Yoon Kye Sang and Ha Ji Won as the main leads with the script penned by famed … Continue reading →
Yayyyyy, it’s a double good news release day with the return of a K-drama screenwriter I love paired with a male lead that I also love. Yoon Kye Sang has been offered the male lead for writer Lee Kyung Hee‘s next drama titled Chocolate.
