Lee Dong Wook Narrowly Escapes Life-Threatening Accident In “The Nice Guy”

Lee Dong Wook is facing yet another crisis in tonight’s episode of JTBC’s “The Nice Guy”! “The Nice Guy” is a noir romance drama starring Lee Dong Wook as Park Seok Chul, the eldest son of a gangster family who has an unexpectedly pure heart, and Lee Sung Kyung as his first love Kang Mi Young, a woman who dreams of becoming a singer. Spoilers In the previous episode, Park Seok Chul and Kang Tae Hoon (Park Hoon) engaged in a tense standoff with Mi Young caught in the middle—hinting at the start of an irreparable rift between the two friends. To make matters worse, Tae Hoon mistakenly believed that Seok Chul was plotting to kill him, further raising the stakes. Newly released stills capture the two men sitting down for an uneasy meal. It’s their first time meeting face-to-face in a while, but even over shared drinks, the tension between them is palpable. What could they be discussing while keeping their true thoughts hidden? Other photos show Seok Chul in the midst of a sudden accident. His face, cast in a foreboding red glow, foreshadows the danger closing in. A previous teaser showed him confronting Tae Hoon’s subordinate Cheon Ho (Han Min) through a car window—implying that this may be much more than a simple traffic mishap. Seok Chul barely manages to escape the vehicle, clearly shaken by the shock. Could Tae Hoon be the one behind the incident that nearly cost Seok Chul his life? The next two episodes of “The Nice Guy” will air on August 15 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

Lee Re Is A Street-Smart Delivery Rider Working At Han Suk Kyu’s Chicken Restaurant In “Shin’s Project”

tvN’s upcoming drama “Shin’s Project” has unveiled the first stills of Lee Re in character! “Shin’s Project” is a comedy series that follows the story of Mr. Shin, a man who takes it upon himself to mediate conflicts and assist people through seemingly unwinnable situations.

He willingly rushes into every conflict, settles problems, and delivers justice as a neighborhood hero.

There’s a whole skill set to it, you know?” leaves a strong impression of her spunky personality. “Shin’s Project” is set to premiere on September 15 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

There were many scenes with Oh Dae Hwan where we had to raise our voices at each other, and it was hard to hold back laughter.” Oh Dae Hwan added, “The actors’ chemistry was excellent.

Hanyang High’s rugby team is going head-to-head with their longtime rivals in tonight’s episode of “The Winning Try”! “The Winning Try” is a new drama starring Yoon Kye Sang as Joo Ga Ram, a former rugby star who falls from grace due to a doping scandal.

Spoilers In the upcoming episode, the Hanyang Physical Education High School rugby team is competing in the Presidential Cup National Rugby Championship. Their first-round opponents are none other than Daesang High, last year’s national champions. The matchup carries extra tension for Hanyang, who previously faced a crisis when their former coach jumped ship to Daesang, followed by first-year ace Kang Tae Poong (Cho Han Gyul) making the same move.

With the addition of Moon Woong (Kim Dan), Hanyang High is now at full strength. Newly released stills show Ga Ram and his players fully charged for battle.
