June 6, 2024 When one is feeling down or uneasy, go on a road trip to see a body of water. Drive to the beach, the lake, or a waterfall. It will calm the mind, invigorate the body, and refresh the spirit. This is what my friend B did for me 7 years ago, when

Jeon Bae-soo, The Abeoji

Jeon Bae-soo is the KDrama dad who always catches his KDrama daughter in a compromising position. In Queen of Tears, he catches daughter-in-law Hae-in in Hyun-woo’s room. In Extraordinary Attorney Woo, he catches Young-woo kissing Jun-ho outside their house. In Fight For My Way, he catches Ae-ra with Dong-man. In Mr. Queen, he catches So-yong

Park Ji-Eun Umbrella

You know it’s a Park Ji-eun drama when she writes a rain scene with the lead guy holding an umbrella over the lead girl. He will be holding it in such a way that the girl will be totally protected from the rain, while his own broad shoulders get drenched. Come to think of it,

First Look at Radiant Office

While watching the reality survival game show The Devil’s Plan, I got curious about Ha Seok-jin. I looked up his filmography and found this workplace romcom.

Strongest Deliveryman

I tried to watch this show after Start-Up when I was on the Kim Seon-ho trail. I couldn’t get past the first two episodes. I’m trying to watch it again now that I’m on a Go Kyung-pyo trail. I still can’t get past the first four episodes. I don’t know, it’s just not captivating enough.

Judge vs Judge

In another universe, Attorney Woo is… Judge Lee! Park Eun-bin stars in this 2017 legal drama/comedy as a controversial young judge. Yeon Woo-jin co-stars as the cool and level-headed judge. The title is Judge vs Judge or Nothing to Lose. 

The Good Doctor (Korean and US Versions)

If ever, Extraordinary Attorney Woo will not be the first Korean series to have an American remake. In 2017, The Good Doctor starring Freddie Highmore premiered in the US.
