I am sick of the dozens of office romances and chaebol romances being released these days, so I will try this for a change. I love a good stand up act, so it would probably be emotionally rewarding to watch the stories of budding comedians. Hopefully, female characters will also be given ample space in the drama.
His image is really tainted now. I will never be able to watch anything with him in it. I am already struggling…
Won't be watching anything or anyone with KSH and Goldmedalist associations! KSH has hidden behind Goldmedalist to deny any kind of responsibility for the bad/ cruel decisions he made. So I want that agency to go down too! I was so looking forward to Love in Disguise and thought the leads, Seol In-ah and Im Si-wan, had disassociated themselves with these problematic parties, but apparently not! They were merely doing risk assessment by temporarily distancing themselves 🙄🤦🏻♀️. Kinda disappointed!
The only Korean celebrity who openly stood up for Kim Sae Ron was Lee El. She openly taunted cyber bullies who called KSR a "gold digger" (but saw no fault in their dear KSH 🙄). Lee El wrote on her social media, "A 9-year-old is just a child pushed into the industry by their parents, and a 15-year-old is suddenly treated as if they know everything and are labeled a gold digger?".
The fact that people were quick to point finger at the victim's parents and called for an age bar on "young female idols" (because they apparently "attract exploitation", or worse, are apparently "ruined by their own stardom" 🙄... oof the narratives built to blame the victim!), while actually keeping mum about the actual act of exploitation committed by an older male star, says a lot about Korea's patriarchal mindset.
Things won't be changing there anytime soon, but fans who consume Korean content can still choose who they follow.
If people saw Heo Nam Jun walking down the street they would double take, if he was their coworker they would…
Yes! And Im Ji yeon looks radiant when she smiles at him in this clip. https://youtu.be/mQcLzHgrLI8?si=ASRvjMCptmXLa27C I can understand Heo Nam jun's reaction 😉. They both look lovely! And in love 😍
Does this include love triangle? 2 main role males?
Officially, there has been no suggestion of a love triangle. The SML has a rivalry with the ML over inheritance. He may have an important role to play, but I don't think he has any romantic feelings for the FL or vice versa.
I won't "urge" people to watch this drama any more than I would try to change their views on who they find "good looking enough to be a lead".
IMO, what makes you "lead material" is neither looks nor visual compatibility. In a drama like this, which includes a lot of physical comedy, it is important that their "energies" match, more than their looks or ages 🙄. And as evidence for how they match perfectly... I present to you the flower fight scene 😂 https://youtu.be/JGMl1GfoQ68?si=DdeZkllAqchZQcQr Enjoy!
One thing that Im Ji yeon has been doing (and is doing in all the teasers of this drama too), is "moving" us with her incredible range of expressions. Her eyes speak as well as her face.
I thought this page was for "discussion". People had claimed earlier that it was. But it is increasingly becoming a place to leave lookist and ageist comments. Using mild language doesn't hide the type of agenda one's comment is carrying. Use a real username BTW.
in terms of full length drama, that was the only one. the last one was moon river but it's from 2025. but i did…
There's also a drama called "Secret Love Tales of Soosung Palace", in works. Casting isn't confirmed but Chae Won Bin and Kang Hoon are in talks to lead.
They were also interviewed at the Elle photoshoot. You can read it by translating the article in the link above. I am sharing a snippet of the interview:
When asked to describe their on-screen relationship with a single image, they each offered different metaphors. Lim Ji- yeon replied , “Like iced coffee and ice cream, it feels like cold things meeting to create a deeper flavor,” while Heo Nam-jun described it as “a burgundy-like red,” adding, “It is intense, but becomes softer as it mixes . ”
A lot of people are probably experiencing a drama slump like me. I didn't watch a single drama last year. You know what's the appeal of this drama? FRESHNESS! I like that the idea is fresh, the faces are fresh, and the romantic equation is something we don't see that often. I am tired of the same old, same old. I am counting on this to bring me out of my drama slump 🤞
