I’m still a bit bloated from watching too many C-dramas recently, even with the ones I dropped it’s still A LOT of dramas to be binging thanks to the glut of releases in the past month.

It’s actually normal for buzzy C-stars to be signed up to new dramas while filming current ones and maybe even more than one lined up.
