Jung Il Woo Shocks Yoon Hyun Min With A Wedding Invitation In "Our Golden Days"
KBS 2TV’s “Our Golden Days” has shared a sneak peek of Yoon Hyun Min’s and Jung In Sun’s reactions to the news of Jung Il Woo’s marriage! “Our Golden Days’ is a new generational family drama based on the idea that everyone experiences their own “glory days”—whether in the present, the past, or the future still to come. Spoilers Previously on “Our Golden Days,” Lee Ji Hyuk (Jung Il Woo) accepted a marriage proposal from Jung Bo Ah (Go Won Hee), the only daughter of the Haneul Construction family, after rejecting Ji Eun Oh (Jung In Sun)’s confession. Lee Ji Hyuk’s friend Park Sung Jae (Yoon Hyun Min) opposed the marriage, having caught on to the fact that it would be a loveless one, but Lee Ji Hyuk only became more determined to go through with it. In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Lee Ji Hyuk meets up with Park Sung Jae in order to give him a wedding invitation. Park Sung Jae, who had initially brushed off Lee Ji Hyuk’s announcement as a joke, is unable to hide his shock and bewilderment, and he expresses deep concern for his friend. However, Lee Ji Hyuk remains calm as he proffers the invitation, indicating that he isn’t prepared to back down. The next set of stills captures a tense conversation between Lee Ji Hyuk and Ji Eun Oh, who still hasn’t been able to move on even after his rejection. As Ji Eun Oh stares blankly at Lee Ji Hyuk, his expression turns serious, piquing curiosity as to how he will break the news of his engagement to her—and how it will change their relationship. To find out how Ji Eun Oh reacts to the news, tune in to the next episode of “Our Golden Days” on August 23 at 8 p.m. KST!

Unable to figure out where she is (or that, unbeknownst to her, she has traveled back in time), Yeon Ji Young takes out her phone and desperately searches for a signal to no avail. To make things worse, King Lee Heon appears before Yeon Ji Young with his bow drawn, flustering her even further. Backed into a corner as he takes aim at her, Yeon Ji Young attempts a counterattack of sorts, which an intrigued Lee Heon merely watches in amusement. To find out how Yeon Ji Young and Lee Heon’s eventful first meeting plays out, catch the premiere of “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” on August 23 at 9:10 p.m. KST!
3 Inspiring Legal K-Dramas To Watch If You Loved "Law And The City"
Many K-dramas can have smart and charismatic characters, show the complexity of human nature, and even enchant us with their romance. However, some of them are able to bring a little extra something and inspire more than admiration with their stories. “Law and The City,” starring a brilliant cast including Lee Jong Suk, Mun Ka Young, and Yeom Hye Ran, is one of those. Set in Seocho-dong, it depicts the lives of five unique attorneys who not only work for justice, but also for their dreams, love, and friendship. After enjoying such an endearing show, it is only natural to crave more, so here are some recommendations if you are looking for some great legal K-dramas! 1. “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” In K-dramas, you can find good lawyers and bad lawyers, but there’s only one who is truly extraordinary. This K-drama follows the journey of Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin), a young woman with a superb IQ who dreams of becoming an attorney despite her struggling with social interactions due to being autistic. As she is hired at Hanbada law firm, she not only gets the chance to show her passion for law and her remarkable abilities to work on cases with a different approach, but also her desire to find a rightful place in the world for herself and other autistic people. In a very well-written way, the plot shows us topics such as discrimination, ignorance, and prejudices against people like Young Woo, who slowly but surely turns the tables over to her favor. Alongside it, we get a variety of interesting legal cases, which depict realistic views of issues around society. The cherry on top in this show is the cozy and beautiful love story that develops naturally between her and legal assistant Lee Joon Ho (Kang Tae Oh), as both of them open up to a new world while getting to know each other. In other words, this K-drama has it all, and you wouldn’t want to miss it for the world! 2. “Miss Hammurabi” Most of the time, the spotlight in a courtroom is on lawyers and prosecutors, but one of the most important elements in it is definitely the judges. Determined to be a fair judge for everybody and driven by strong principles of justice, Im Ba Reun (Kim Myung Soo) joins the 44th Civil Affairs Department at the Seoul Central District, where he coincidentally meets Park Cha Oh Reum (Go Ara). However, his once shy and demure high school sweetheart has turned into a fearless and passionate judge who tries to reach out to those most in need of justice. Together with the chief judge, Han Se Sang (Sung Dong Gil), they try to find a way to work together as a team despite their differences in personality, values, and experience. While Cha Oh Reum is led by her feelings and her heart, Bae Reun focuses on facts, evidence, and his head. Nonetheless, as they face several cases hand-in-hand, they learn to see things through the eyes of one another and grow both as judges and people. This 2018 K-drama shows us not only the importance of the law, but also the meaning of using it to protect the people with empathy and responsibility. 3. “Good Partner” Among legal cases, there are some that are particularly sensitive and involve the most important aspect in one’s life, which is the family. But when it comes to divorce attorneys, Cha Eun Kyung (Jang Na Ra) is definitely the option to go. She is sharp, straightforward, and will handle any case with grace and class. However, not even her almost 14 years of experience in the field helps her to deal with her marriage falling apart after her husband’s affair. She learns to lean on her newly hired associate Han Yu Ri (Nam Ji Hyun), who, despite being a rookie, shows great potential as a divorce attorney, even when she hates it. Given their different personalities and a particular first encounter, their beginning is far from ideal. They constantly butt heads and are unable to communicate or understand each other. However, they find common ground in their fierce desire to excel at their work with every case they face, and soon enough, they become an undefeatable pair. As their bond gets stronger, they end up being not only good colleagues but also great friends. This K-drama is such a breath of fresh air with its woman-centered plot, brilliant acting, and interesting legal cases that it is already preparing for a second season, so this is your chance to watch this show before it airs!

A Korean adaptation of the 2018 Japanese drama “The Confidence Man JP,” “Confidence Queen” will tell the story of three talented con artists who pull off elaborate scams targeting villains from all walks of life. Park Min Young stars as Yoon Yi Rang, a con artist with an IQ of 165 and a genius-level intellect in the top 1 percent.

Park Hee Soon takes on the role of James, the eldest member and trusted mentor figure, whose presence anchors the team. The newly released stills highlight the pair’s dramatic disguises in their first mission set at a casino. Yoon Yi Rang transforms into a captivating casino owner in a flowing hanbok with neatly tied hair, while James stuns with his makeover as a legendary dealer in his sixties—sporting disheveled gray hair, a thick beard, and a traditional robe. Yoon Yi Rang’s piercing gaze and firm expression exude confidence, while James wields a set of oracle dice with an air of mystique.

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. Unlike Sang Yeol, who has mobilized his entire team, Kang Tae Hoon faces him alone, making the upcoming confrontation even more suspenseful. The next two episodes of “The Nice Guy” will air on August 22 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
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.
