Early Access: See you in my 19th life E1, E2

E1. I'm liking this one quite nicely, but I do think that lens adjustments need to be a priority, with this one.

I think the most helpful thing to remember, is that our story is adapted from a webtoon of the same title.

And, lens-wise, I think that a "whimsical manhwa" lens would work nicely.

That would help a lot of things to land better, and feel more organic, to this drama ...

Early Access: King The Land E1, E2

E1. So, I've now watched the first two episodes of King The Land, and I have to say, I like it.

I do think that I need to qualify that by setting some expectations here.

I've heard some people say that King The Land is old-fashioned - but that's the thing. That's why this drama feels so effortlessly appealing.

I get that this show might not appeal to everyone. For example, if ...

Because both of these new shows air over...

Shin Hye Sun for 1st Look

Since her drama's premiering this weekend, I thought it would be fun to have a Shin Hye Sun get-to-know you kind of video for the Entertainment Drop..

I had to chuckle at how she says she tries (but fails) to be an influencer. Because, isn't she influencing, just being herself..?

Anyway. I hope you guys enjoy.
