It is relevant because after a lengthy & extensive search process, Shabu-shabu selected KSH as their inaugural brand spokesman only to revoke that status a short time thereafter due to the scandal which reversed the actor's value to attract customers to the brand. And KWB follows as the second person to be so entrusted.

Whether the scandal or the resulting fallout was deserved or not is beside the point. These events are both reality and newsworthy.

I get that productions run months or a year ahead of release, but it's always a bit unsettling when an actor appears in two dramas concurrently or back-to-back as is occurring for Son Suk Ku with Heavenly Ever After & Nine Puzzles.

IMO 31-32 is the perfect prime age. I understand why young people think youth is prime but as you get older most will realize that the prime age is actually early-30's.

It is. And also here as it is relevant. KSH is named in the headline & mentioned in the article, for context.

In my region this is true. In some other regions, Netflix has the OTT rights.

…with the bomb exploding. Why did they even introduce it, otherwise?

K-dramas used to be typically limited to a single season which promoted concise storytelling. But OTT providers now give creators the long leash to run their franchises into the ground.

Shabu-shabu has selected Kim Woo Bin to be their new brand model after having terminated their contract with Kim Soo Hyun.

Kim Bum needs to distance himself from his 9-tailed gumiho character ever since that creep CEO of Gold Medalist changed his name to Lee Rang, soiling it. "Lee Na Rang" has changed his name at least twice, is Kim Soo Hyun's half-brother (and also reportedly his cousin), on their mother's side, and was the director of Real (2017) which caused no small amount of damage to Sulli's well-being & reputation.

I hope Kim Bum succeeds, and am looking forward to this.

I really enjoyed the first four episodes. Considering the short season, I would have preferred they address the IP theft issue head on. I agree with many commenters that love triangles is a distraction. I'm gonna suspend this from my watch list & binge the remaining 6 eps after the run has completed.

She executed the umbrella defense like Hae Suk, but was mistaken for Young-ae. But yeah, there could/should have been more.

They threw a lot of wild ideas at the dartboard, and almost all of them stuck!

They got high, had a "great" brainstorming session. Wrote it all out, but didn't bother to revise, edit or review for consistency, etc.

I like the theory but no, I've never heard of "seven souls and six spirits and parallel universe." Where's that from?

This has been on my Netflix watchlist for a while. And seeing the recent news that this is being remade into a K-Drama with Park Min Young reminded me that I want to watch this.

It's a short run—only 10 episodes. So expect a faster pace than per usual.

Can sociopaths even do romance? (Besides pretending, I mean.)

I bet he was scared because he thought it was a sequel to Prison Playbook!

I agree, except I think sociopath is what you mean. He exhibits very low empathy for others, but is not psychotic.

sociopathy—"a person consistently exhibiting antisocial, impulsive, and manipulative behavior"
psychosis—"a severe mental condition in which thought and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with external reality"
