I see the casting for the upcoming MBC drama Two Cops and deciding to be optimistic I notice the reunion of a bunch of Answer Me alums. Leading lady Hyeri from Answer Me 1988 gets to work with supporting leads Hoya and Lee Si Eun from Answer Me 1997. If all three bring the same level of heart and acting … Continue reading →
It will be office to office next Wed-Thurs as MBC trades low rated castaway mystery thriller Missing 9 for gung ho workplace success drama Radiant Office.
