If the goal of MBC drama People With Flaws is to highlight the flaws in such obvious ways as to make me already loathe the two lead characters then this tactic is succeeding. The latest two posters join the first … Continue reading
I really hope the intention of the production was to paint Ahn Jae Hyun and Oh Yeon Seo as totally cringeworthy characters with exaggerated performances in the first teaser for upcoming K-drama People With Flaws. In that case they succeeded … Continue reading
