I don’t know if this drama will be a hit when it’s all done but this is definitely a very promising sign. This weekend tvN released rom-com Love Your Enemy with Joo Ji Hoon and Jung Yumi, taking over from Jeonghyeon: A Star is Born. I legit had zero interest in this drama but judging from the ratings am inclined … Continue reading →
All I can think when I saw the first posters and teasers for the upcoming TVING sageuk drama Queen Woo is that if this was a K-movie it was definitely move into Forbidden Flower and The Concubine territory level of sex/power/fighting.

I was wondering where Jung Yumi was at the press conference for sci-fi movie Wonderland, especially since two days before she was attending the 2024 Baeksang Arts Awards as a nominee.

All I ask of my actors/actress is that they be able to exercise their craft whether through visuals or physical expression but so often it comes up against the modern cheat sheet that is alterations. Whether someone went under the knife is for he/she to acknowledge and accept but as viewers we can only say someone looks the same or … Continue reading →

I can’t get over how silly yet adorable Jung Yumi‘s monster hunting/vanquishing weapon of choice is in the upcoming Netflix drama The School Nurse Files (School Nurse Ahn Eun Young). It’s a sailor moon color scheme light saber is the best way to describe it, and kid sized to boot. I don’t think this drama will have genuinely scary monsters … Continue reading →
