Lee Dong Wook Goes Head-To-Head With Park Hoon And Han Jae Young In “The Nice Guy”

Lee Dong Wook is facing two formidable enemies in “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 finally submitted his resignation from Myeong San Enterprises. Kim Chang Soo (Lee Moon Shik), breaking tradition, quietly intended to let Seok Chul leave the organization. But Oh Sang Yeol’s (Han Jae Young) disapproval escalated tensions, while Kang Tae Hoon (Park Hoon)—driven by misunderstandings about Seok Chul and his desire for Kang Mi Young—launched an attack on both Seok Chul and Myeong San Enterprises. The newly released photos highlight the tense standoff between Seok Chul and Oh Sang Yeol. Summoned back to the Myeong San office, Seok Chul is confronted by Sang Yeol, who has long seen himself as the organization’s second-in-command—but now realizes Chairman Kim Chang Soo’s true intentions and starts to obstruct him. Seok Chul’s expression shows that he senses the dangerous path ahead. Can he break free from the organization unscathed? Meanwhile, the rivalry between Myeong San Enterprises and Samjun Construction reaches a boiling point.

Angels Ma Dong Seok, Seo In Guk, And More Gear Up For Battle Against Resurrected Evil Park Hyung Sik In “Twelve”

With its premiere just a day away, “Twelve” has revealed new stills from its first two episodes! Inspired by the 12 zodiac animals of the East, “Twelve” tells the story of 12 angels living in the human world in human form to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits. Long ago, the angels barely managed to seal the forces of evil in the gates of hell through their sacrifice, bringing peace. However, with the evil spirits awakening, chaos returns. The new stills highlight the angels’ distinctive personalities and commanding presence. At the forefront is Tae San (Ma Dong Seok), the leader and tiger angel who runs Angel Capital—a loan business that targets only wrongdoers. His imposing aura immediately keeps villains in check. Won Seung (Seo In Guk), Gang Ji (Kang Mina), and Mal Sook (Ahn Ji Hye) are ready to deliver thrilling action sequences, taking down evildoers under the guise of debt collection. Meanwhile, Ogui (Park Hyung Sik)—a demon resurrected after thousands of years by the high priest Sa Min (Kim Chan Hyung), who seeks to engulf the world in death and curses—commands the screen with his overwhelming power, heightening suspense over the grave threat he poses to the human world. As Ogui, Sa Min, and their dark forces begin to move, angels including Mir (Lee Joo Bin), Do Ni (Go Kyu Pil), and Jwi Dol (Sung Yoo Bin) are forced to confront a danger they thought had long passed. Bang Wool (Regina Lei), clutching a pendant that signals imminent peril, hints at the dark trials ahead. Though sealing the gates of hell cost them their divine strength, the angels are ready to rise once again—just as they did thousands of years ago—to defend humanity in this epic battle. “Twelve” will premiere on August 23 at 9:20 p.m. KST.

Lee Dong Wook And Lee Sung Kyung Share Tearful Reunion In “The Nice Guy”

JTBC’s “The Nice Guy” has unveiled new stills ahead of tonight’s episode! “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, Kang Mi Young broke up with Park Seok Chul. Amid tangled misunderstandings, Kang Tae Hoon’s (Park Hoon) growing ambition ultimately forced Kang Mi Young to separate from Seok Chul. The released photos highlight the raw emotions of their breakup. Seok Chul’s reddened eyes as he returns home alone evoke pity, while his vacant gaze through the bus window—lost in memories of their parting—deepens the weight of the moment. Mi Young, who chose to leave Seok Chul for his sake, also falters under the emotional toll, breaking into tears only after being left alone. Another set of photos captures their sorrowful reunion scene. A previous teaser revealed Mi Young weeping at her mother’s sickbed. With tears welling up as if she might break down at any moment, and the way Seok Chul looks at her—filled with tenderness and sadness—viewers are left wondering: can Seok Chul once again be Mi Young’s comfort, and will their enduring feelings finally bring them back together? The next two episodes of “The Nice Guy” will air on August 22 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

3 Key Reasons To Watch Lee Ha Nee And Bang Hyo Rin's New Drama “Aema”

3 Key Reasons To Watch Lee Ha Nee And Bang Hyo Rin's New Drama “Aema”

Netflix series “Aema” has revealed three key points of interest ahead of its release today! Set in 1980s Chungmuro, “Aema” is a fictional comedy that delves into the fierce realities behind the glitz and glamour of the film industry. It follows the struggles and triumphs of two actresses, Hee Ran (Lee Ha Nee) and Ju Ae (Bang Hyo Rin), during the creation of “Madame Aema,” the adult film that took South Korea by storm in the early 1980s. Here are the three highlights to look forward to: 1. A fresh reinterpretation of the past Director Lee Hae Young revisits the making of the era-defining hit “Madame Aema,” portraying not only the cutthroat competition and ambition of 1980s Chungmuro but also the brutality and contradictions that defined it. In an age when erotic films dominated the box office yet censorship laws stifled even basic freedom of expression, the series re-examines the irony of the period through a modern lens. Director Lee Hae Young explained, “I wanted the series to be immersive and relatable, with a fresh take on both the storytelling and mise-en-scène, while delivering a message that resonates closely with today’s viewers.” 2. Women’s solidarity against an unjust reality Rather than limiting “Aema” to the protagonist of “Madame Aema,” the director reimagines it as a symbol of all women who endured prejudice and misunderstanding while fighting to claim their own lives. The drama tells the story of two women resisting oppression, authority, and systemic barriers in their own ways. The director noted, “The moment they joined hands symbolized their shared fate of living as ‘Aema.’ Their story ultimately reflects our own—of confronting prejudice, resisting injustice, and protecting ourselves in the face of it.” Hee Ran initially disapproves of the ambitious newcomer threatening her position, while Ju Ae admires but refuses to be intimidated by the veteran star. What begins as sharp rivalry slowly transforms into solidarity as they confront the absurdities and oppressions of their time. Through their journey, “Aema” pushes beyond the rigid stereotypes of 1980s female characters, portraying women who boldly resist a society determined to strip them bare—sometimes fiercely, sometimes refreshingly. 3. A flawless ensemble cast that embodies the era Lee Ha Nee, Bang Hyo Rin, Jin Sun Kyu, and Cho Hyun Chul unite to deliver powerful performances that capture the fierce struggles of Chungmuro in the 1980s. Lee Ha Nee plays Jeong Hee Ran, the era’s top star. Bang Hyo Rin takes on the role of Shin Ju Ae, a rookie unexpectedly cast as the lead of “Madame Aema.” Jin Sun Kyu transforms into Goo Joong Ho, the head of the production company behind “Madame Aema.” Cho Hyun Chul plays rookie director Kwak In Woo, who is making his directorial debut with “Madame Aema.” With each character embodying clashing ambitions and desires surrounding the film’s production, their synergy and dynamic performances promise to captivate viewers. “Aema” premieres on August 22 at 4 p.m. KST.

Yoon Kye Sang And Jung Sun Won’s Rivalry Explodes Into Chaotic Flour-Covered Scuffle In “The Winning Try”

Yoon Kye Sang and Jung Sun Won are covered head to toe in flour in “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. After he returns to his alma mater as the new coach of its rugby team, which is ranked last in the country, he leads the underdog squad on a quest to win the National Sports Festival. Spoilers Rugby coach Joo Ga Ram and aerobics coach Bang Heung Nam (Jung Sun Won) were once rugby teammates at Hanyang Physical Education High School, but now stand as bitter rivals. Following Vice Principal Sung Jong Man’s (Kim Min Sang) orders, Heung Nam has been monitoring Ga Ram and his team. In the previous episode, he even flashed Ga Ram a suspicious smile, fueling tension between the two. The newly released stills show Ga Ram seizing Heung Nam by the collar with a fiery glare. Though Ga Ram has always laughed off Heung Nam’s provocations in the past, his sudden shift in expression and intense grip heighten the suspense. But the tension quickly flips into comedy in the next stills: Ga Ram and Heung Nam are seen rolling on the ground in a childish scuffle, covered head to toe in flour as if reliving their high school days. The scene gets even funnier when the two freeze mid-fight, staring in the same direction with hilariously guilty expressions as though they’ve just been caught. How did Ga Ram and Heung Nam’s confrontation spiral into this flour-filled chaos? And will Heung Nam finally let go of his old grudges and mend his friendship with Ga Ram? The next episode of “The Winning Try” airs on August 22 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

Lee Min Ji, Park Ye Ni, Oh Woo Ri, And Jung Bo Min Are Kim Da Mi And Shin Ye Eun's Roommates And Co-Workers In "A Hundred Memories"

JTBC’s upcoming drama “A Hundred Memories” has unveiled new stills of its supporting cast! Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and Seo Jong Hee (Shin Ye Eun), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil (Heo Nam Jun). The drama’s production team has now introduced four bus attendants who, as Young Rye and Jong Hee’s roommates and colleagues, live in a dormitory and spend every hour of the day together with them. Kwon Hae Ja (Lee Min Ji), Choi Jung Boon (Park Ye Ni), Cha Ok Hee (Oh Woo Ri), and Lim Ho Sook (Jung Bo Min) each have distinct personalities and traits that promise both laughter and relatability. Dorm leader Hae Ja is, quite literally, the “dorm dictator.” She changes the rules depending on her mood, and she is jealous and wary of the pretty newcomer Jong Hee. Jung Boon, who curses constantly, is actually a warm-hearted “swearing pacifist.” She takes care of everything from her colleagues’ hair to their makeup, serving as a motherly presence in the dorm. Ok Hee is a quick-witted “yes-woman” who senses Hae Ja’s moods before anyone else and adjusts accordingly. Ho Sook, the youngest, may appear clumsy, but she often delivers unexpected surprises. Together, the four will bring youthful energy to the drama by depicting the authentic dormitory life of 1980s youth. The production team commented, “Whenever the bus attendants’ banter appears, the atmosphere of the drama shifts completely. The actors’ vivid performances capture the essence of 1980s youth, and it will truly stir memories.” “A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
