The return of the elderly hypocrite with a fake smile. Fortunately, he is close to 40, so he has no chance of a real career after his scandal. The universe is fair after all.

Is this woman Park still banned from leaving the country because of criminal activity in the company of her boyfriend who is in prison? Her signatures were on company documents, so she should be prosecuted. Because it's strange and suspicious that she still has a career despite being involved in such a big scandal and under investigation.

"KBS2's new drama "Pure Boxer" (Kim Min-joo-IV and directed by Choi Sang-yeol and Hong Eun-mi) depicts the escape of a genius boxer and a cold-blooded agent. It is based on the novel "Soonjung Boxer Lee Kwon-sook" by writer Choo Jong-nam.
Kim Jinwoo plays Han Jae-min, the first love of genius boxer Lee Kwon-sook (Kim Sohye) and vice president of a kindergarten. In particular, Han Jae-min is a 'face genius' that everyone recognizes." https://www.hancinema.net/winner-kim-jinwoo-to-star-in-pure-boxer-166717.html

Prestigious? No one has heard of such awards before. This reminds me of some awards in the US where you can literally buy the awards at some festivals and this is a common practice that everyone knows about from the "leaks".

There is a tag "first love", so there will be some love story between some characters. In addition, on the cover of the book on which this drama is based, there are hearts in the title of the book.

The drama is based on the book, and there is rather a love story in it, looking at the cover, which is presented by the distribution company of this drama.

"Tae-young, a despicable but competent sports agent, hears the news that his old friend got involved in a match-fixing. Tae-young decides not to turn away, and jumps into the game of match-fixing instead of his friend.
It is Lee Kwon-sook, who comes into Tae-young's radar. Kwon-sook is a genius boxer who desperately wants to be forgotten so that she can leave the ring forever. Tae-young has a strong feeling that Kwon-sook will be a perfect piece to end the game in the easiest and fastest way.
Now, Tae-young plans for an outwardly 'losing game,' which will, in fact, bring a result to satisfy everyone involved.
Will this risky and dangerous choice bring a 'happily-ever-after' finale for all?"

The leads are good actors, the director is good, the screenwriter writes good scripts, so I'm counting on a good drama.

" Yoo Ah In is also set to star in the upcoming movies High Five "

Shooting for this movie ended and the premiere was supposed to be at the end of last year, then it was postponed to the beginning of this year. If the premiere had not been postponed, this movie would have been in theaters long ago, and so it is not known what will happen to it. It was supposed to be a Korean blockbuster and because of this actor, the producer is only in trouble now and the movie will probably end up on the platform instead of in theaters.

Korean law will judge him, maybe he will serve a suspended sentence, like years ago, in 2009, actor Ju Ji Hoon. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison, 1-year probation, and 120 hours of volunteer service for the use of drugs. Only from what I remember about that case, the allegations were not as serious as here, it did not involve as many types of drugs, he cooperated with the prosecutor's office and admitted himself to using drugs, thought he deserved punishment.

People write here without knowing South Korean law. In this country, it is not only illegal to possess drugs, but also to use them. And not only in the country, but also when a citizen of this country uses them outside his country. It's the same with gambling. Koreans are not allowed to gamble not only in their home country but also abroad. As for this actor, Yoo Ah In, according to Korean law, he is a criminal then, it's not just a matter of his "cancellation".

No drama or movie, etc., should be more important than the memory of a nation and its history. Koreans made their decisions on dramas. These were their decisions and drama audiences from other countries should respect them. I think it's good that South Koreans are fighting for their historical truth. This is how nations retain their identities.

Patriotism is what protects the nation. Patriotism is never overzealous. People should know to be responsible for their country, know its history and take responsibility for it. They should not allow history to be played with in the name of entertainment.

You write the typical gibberish of people who want others to disrespect history. History is the most important thing that keeps humanity from making the same mistakes. Those who do not know their history and do not draw conclusions from it do harm to their nation. You need to know everything about history, good and bad historical moments, to create a healthy nation that is accountable for its actions. Because nations are responsible for themselves, not just their leaders.

It is not illogical to protect your own country's history. People from totalitarian countries probably don't understand it because they are brainwashed and their Masters lie about the history of their countries all the time, but those from democratic countries understand, or at least should understand, how important it is to respect the history of their own country and not allow it to be distorted in the name of entertainment.

" woman who believes in love once again after having two failed marriages. "
What does it mean? She was widowed twice, because divorce is not an option in historical drama.
Or that she almost got married twice, but something prevented her from getting married?

Why do people call it "period dramas". It is pure fantasy and has nothing to do with any historical times. "Alchemy of Souls" was a pure fairy tale about magic.

I was hoping it would be a short, action-packed drama (something like "Revenge of others"), but given the name of the writer, I should have known better.

Is it worth getting so low for an actor?

She was the victim of his manipulation, whether or not she was a crystal honest person.
