In the past few years my only crack drama addictions have all been in the tvN Sat-Sun time slot, with Crash Landing on You segueing into It’s Okay to Not be Okay then Start-up and most recently Vincenzo.

I wish tvN didn’t photoshop the posters so much for Hometown Cha Cha Cha, female lead Shin Mina is overbrushed and male lead Kim Sun Ho has too much makeup and honestly both are perfect exactly as they are.

I love how the production of tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha adapted from the movie Mr. Hong knows it’s biggest asset and takes full advantage of it.

The first teaser poster is a little too cutesy for me but I’m still wildly excited for the August arrival of tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha (Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha). The vibe feels like the glass half full peppy cousin of When the Weather is Fine which was the glass half empty melancholy kid on the block when … Continue reading →

It was after his big break in Heirs and she’s long been a darling of K-ent with her dimples and unique aura.
