I don't understand why would Jo Hye Joo take on a role like Ha ri. This character is just plain stupid and a pain…
She takes these roles because she does not get many offers for dramas or main parts. She is with MAA Korea, an agency that pushes Go Yoon Jung and Roh Yoon Seo instead. She also cannot carry a lead role by herself yet, which is common for many actresses. From what I have seen, her acting never felt like pure genius or stood out much. Taking supporting roles in big dramas with famous actors helps her gain public attention, especially when they air on major TV networks like SBS.
Monday-Tuesday drama slots hurt K-drama legendary status, with Twinkling Watermelon in 2023 as the last truly great one, followed by mostly bad or average shows regardless of the cast.
Li Bo Ze's visuals are absolutely insane. He's a total heartthrob and honestly steals the spotlight from Zhang Linghe. His looks are seriously unreal—and that's coming from a guy. 😆
Finally, a good romance drama — that’s such a nice change. We’d been stuck with so many average or disappointing dramas since “We Are All Trying Here” anyway. I love Yang Se Jong; I find him so funny in every role, and he’s an incredible actor.
I’m probably not the only one who has noticed this, but Korean dramas have really lost their touch when it comes…
In 2026, how many interesting/good romance dramas have we actually had so far? I can only think of maybe 3 or 4. *In Your Radiant Seasons*, *We Are All Trying Here* (not really a romance, but I’ll count it), *My Royal Nemesis*, and for now *Spooky Love*. That’s only 5… 😀
You’re going to attacked for this, but I highly agree.
Let him attack me then. It will only prove even more that what I’m saying is true, because when someone feels the need to defend something, it’s often because deep down they know there’s some truth to it.
I’m probably not the only one who has noticed this, but Korean dramas have really lost their touch when it comes to romance. I think they’re still excellent when it comes to the thriller genre, but lately, their romance dramas have clearly been falling behind.
And I chose the name 'Holly' not because it's feminine or masculine, but simply because I like the username and its meaning.
