I knew Wang Ji Won used to be a ballet dancer, but I'd had no idea that she used to dance professionally - or that her husband-to-be is a professional ballet dancer too.
The couple is tying the knot on 6 February, but they've released their wedding photos ahead of the wedding, and WOWWWW they are so special and unique - and filled with so much poise and grace! π€©π€©

It looks like we're going to be getting more Squid Game, you guys.
The only confirmed casting, is that Lee Jung Jae will return as our protagonist. No word on whether other actors like Lee Byung Hun or Wi Ha Joon will be reprising their roles. And of course, most of the other characters died in Season 1, so.. there aren't that many possible reprisals..? π

You guys. If you like Junho &/or 2PM, I think you'd enjoy this video.
I found myself literally crying with laughter by the end, they are such a bunch of funny dorks. β€οΈ
AND, Junho's dressed in a sharp suit - which then becomes an inexplicably sexy vest & crisp white shirt combo, when he takes off the jacket.
You get to swoon AND laugh, in one sitting! ππ...

I've got my eye on this show, because I like the idea of it, and the Spring palette looks very, very pretty. Also, I like both leads. I feel like Nam Joo Hyuk's grown nicely as an actor, and while I wasn't into Mr. Sunshine like everyone else, I did like Kim Tae Ri very well in the movie Little Forest (which is really quite lovely, if you haven't seen it!)

I've heard people say that this drama showcases a lot of people behaving badly, and while that's true, I find that, this episode, I'm quite fascinated by the idea that, even the people who'd started out seeming decent, are starting to show their not-so-nice sides now. As Andrew put it later in this episode, people are getting meaner.

This drama sounds like it could be interesting, if done well.
It deals with the difficult topic of suicide, and is told from the perspective of a crisis management team, whose job is to save suicidal people. Watching the teaser, it kinda-sorta reminds me of D.P., a little bit, because in D.P., there's also a team chasing down people - who may or may not end up harming themselves.

This won't be an actual continuation of the story, though, but rather, a revisit of the show, with behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers, and interviews with the cast.
It'll still be fun, though, for those who've finished the show and are missing it already?

E7. One of the things I really like about this show, is how our story keeps on moving, with fresh developments and surprises, in such a consistent manner. With everyone being shut in at the apartment complex, it feels like there are a limited number of developments that our story can take, and yet, this hour felt fresh and in some ways, surprising as well. That's really well done, I thought.

E1. So when I first read this show's synopsis, I knew that I'd be drawn to the heartwarming theme of a loser uncle coming into his nephew's life, and becoming the father figure and hero that he needs. Plus, it's Oh Jung Se in the lead role, which is a huge draw for me as well. What's not to love about Oh Jung Se getting the spotlight for a whole drama, right?
At the same time, even though...
