This is actually the first time I've seen Dilraba in an interview, and I'm happily impressed with her crisp diction and how articulate she is, in expressing her thoughts.

This one's also known as Cat Riding a Fish, which sounds interestingly quirky. π

This one looks like it's a drama about three women whose lives are connected.
The synopsis as per MyDramaList reads:
"Yao Wei is a female director in a company. Being a workaholic, she's so focused on KPI's that she doesn't realize her relationship with her husband has become estranged. Many women in her department also face gender-specific challenges. At this time, Yao Wei learns t...

Sorry I couldn't find a subbed version of this, you guys.
But we do get another look at our potentially epic drama world, and this is definitely a peek at the more angsty side of things. π
There's definitely some sweetness in there too, as we've seen from other trailers, and also, from the kiss that we get in this trailer, so fingers crossed that we'll get a balanced, engaging wa...

Season 2 of Taxi Driver has just premiered, and reactions seem pretty positive, judging from the 8.1 rating that Show is currently enjoying on MyDramaList.
Show is 16 episodes, and has aired 2 episodes so far. You can check it out on SBS, Viu, Viki and Kocowa.

I didn't watch Season 1 of Island, so I have no context for this trailer whatsoever, but, it does look nicely dramatic and exciting?
Although, fair warning that there is a legit monster in this trailer, so if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, maybe don't watch this trailer? π

I'd been very hopeful that I would like this, based on how entertaining I'd found the trailers as they'd come out, but honestly, I'd been rather afraid that I'd find this too in-yo-face, or not funny-as-intended, or just.. OTT and in poor taste, as is sometimes the case, with kdramas promoted as comedy.

Remember when I first shared that Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Se Jeong are reuniting for a CF mini series for Indonesian Food Company RealFood, titled "Office Romance Recipe"?
The mini episodes have been trickling out, and subs have been pretty slow in the coming, but finally, here are episodes 1 to 4. Each one is only about 2-3 minutes long, so you can finish watching these really quick.

Netflix released this tension-packed trailer for Part 2 of The Glory, and I'm officially intrigued.
It definitely looks like Show is going to amp up the action, in Part 2.
I am surprised by how well I'm engaged with The Glory, as I'm watching Part 1, so now I'm officially looking forward to Part 2 dropping its 8 episodes on 10 March, on Netflix.
