I’m still sad that rising young actor Ahn Hyo Seob, who is currently nailing it in SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, turned down the male lead role in upcoming teen romance Love Alarm.

Kisses and tears are two of the more memorable aspects of K-dramas because the early Hallyu dramas piled on romance and misery in equally measure to create the world of K-drama melodramas as we know it.

The last I watched a broadcast workplace drama with romance in it was the epic flaming fail of Marry Him if You Dare, and the only reason I even mention that when seeing new promos for upcoming KBS drama Radio Romance is all thanks to leading lady Kim So Hyun‘s curly hairstyle.
