Park Shin Hye's Team Faces A Major Crisis In "Undercover Miss Hong"

Park Shin Hye's Team Faces A Major Crisis In "Undercover Miss Hong"

Is Kim Do Hyun leaving his team on “Undercover Miss Hong”? Set in the late 1990s, tvN’s “Undercover Miss Hong” is a comedy starring Park Shin Hye as Hong Geum Bo, an elite financial supervisory officer in her 30s who goes undercover as a 20-year-old entry-level employee at a securities firm where suspicious financial transactions have been detected. Spoilers On the previous episode of “Undercover Miss Hong,” Hong Geum Bo foiled Hanmin Securities’ plans to obtain government aid through fraudulent accounting. As a result, Hanmin Securities found itself in peril amidst the unfolding IMF crisis. Meanwhile, Hong Geum Bo and her boss Bang Jin Mok (Kim Do Hyun)—whom she had previously discovered to be the anonymous whistleblower “Yeppi”—clashed over their conflicting values and perspectives. Due to their differing beliefs, Bang Jin Mok turned his back on her, saying that he could no longer assist her with her mission. In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, the typically relaxed risk management team looks unusually serious as they say their goodbyes after work. Albert Oh (Cho Han Gyul)  wears a solemn expression as he looks at Bang Jin Mok, while Lee Yong Gi (Jang Do Ha)’s eyes well up with tears. The emotional hug shared by Bang Jin Mok and Lee Yong Gi also seems to hint at a farewell, piquing curiosity as to the crisis faced by the close-knit risk management team. To find out what lies in store for the risk management team, catch the next episode of “Undercover Miss Hong” on February 14 at 9:10 p.m. KST!

Kim Jung Hyun Talks About His Dynamic With Park Min Young In New Romance Thriller "Siren's Kiss"

Kim Jung Hyun Talks About His Dynamic With Park Min Young In New Romance Thriller "Siren's Kiss"

Kim Jung Hyun has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Siren’s Kiss”! tvN’s “Siren’s Kiss” is a romance thriller about a man who investigates an insurance fraud case involving people who all died after falling in love with an irresistibly captivating woman. Wi Ha Joon stars as Cha Woo Seok, the inspector relentlessly investigating the mysterious deaths, while Park Min Young plays Han Seol Ah, the woman suspected of standing at the center of the case. Kim Jung Hyun will play Baek Joon Beom, an enigmatic startup CEO whose identity is shrouded in mystery except for his name and occupation. By buying expensive artwork through Royal Auction, the country’s top auction house, Baek Joon Beom becomes a VIP there—and he also makes no secret of his interest in chief auctioneer Han Seol Ah, with whom he builds a close relationship. When asked about why he had decided to take on the role, Kim Jung Hyun shared, “I chose the drama because I was drawn to Baek Joon Beom’s mysterious and goal-oriented nature.” He added, “I worked hard to try to convey to viewers the emotions I felt like while reading the script.” Describing the character of Baek Joon Beom, Kim Jung Hyun noted, “His manner of speech and attitude when interacting with other people change significantly depending on the situation. At times, he treats other people like objects; at others, he can be overly warm. I tried to portray that difference in temperature according to the character and the situation.” “Baek Joon Beom is someone who has a very clear goal, so I focused only on that goal while acting,” he continued. Kim Jung Hyun went on to describe the relationship between Baek Joon Beom and Han Seol Ah by saying, “Han Seol Ah is the sun, and Baek Joon Beom is Icarus.” He also summed up the way the goal-oriented Baek Joon Beom approaches Han Seol Ah as a “cold obsession.” “Siren’s Kiss” will premiere on March 2 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

4 Striking Moves In Episodes 11-12 Of "The Judge Returns"

4 Striking Moves In Episodes 11-12 Of "The Judge Returns"

It is now or never! “The Judge Returns” is nearing its final week, and Lee Han Young (Ji Sung) has only one chance to finish up his revenge against all the people who not only destroyed his life in the past but also have been corrupting the country’s judiciary system. Although his plan is already set in motion, he will still need all his skills, perfect timing, and a little bit of good luck to successfully bring down Kang Sin Jin (Park Hee Soon). Here are some of the striking moves this judge made in the latest episodes of the K-drama.  Warning: spoilers from episodes 11-12 ahead!  1. Kim Jin Ah taking down Jang Tae Sik  This show has many different villains but none as patently peculiar as Jang Tae Sik (Kim Bup Rae). He is the representation of that crude, mobster-like sort of nemesis that commonly appears to be the worst of guys but who is only the tip of the iceberg that hides the true evil beneath him. He is the link that started this story, back when Han Young was still a corrupt judge, but the circle is finally coming to a close with his downfall. When his hidden slush funds are discovered, it is only a matter of time before Kim Jin Ah (Won Jin Ah) puts him behind bars.  Her character takes a more central role in these couple of episodes. And it feels great watching a female character taking on an antagonist like Jang Tae Sik. Admittedly, she has some moments where she appears too naive, underestimating her opponent. But in the end, she doesn’t really need a man to get justice for her. Not even Park Cheol Woo (Hwang Hee) seems to be that much of help at times. But that’s probably what enhances her personality and makes it all the more enjoyable. We get to watch her stand confidently and ultimately gain a sense of redemption for herself and her father.  2. Kang Sin Jin plotting to get more powerful  Most of the time, Kang Sin Jin appears to be idle, only sitting around in his office while manipulating the law and the people around him to his convenience. However, behind his composure and cold demeanor, there’s a craving beast who is waiting for the moment to attack his next prey. But to get where he wants to be, he first needs to get rid of the person who put him in his powerful position. It is almost poetic how, as much as Han Young is playing allies with him, Kang Sin Jin is also plotting to bite the hand that has been feeding him for years.  Still, surprisingly enough, Lee Han Young and Kang Sin Jin’s plans align in a certain way. And since it is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, aside from the fact that Han Young is also trying to destroy Sin Jin, these two characters easily become partners at this point. So when Han Young starts to dig into former president Park Gwang To’s (Son Byung Ho) dirty money, Kang Sin Jin lets him off the hook, getting ready to seize his own opportunity. But he’s unaware of how badly this can backfire on him.  3. Lee Han Young trying to corner Park Gwak To  After watching the grotesque scene in Park Gwak To’s residence, Han Young’s resolution to uncover the former president’s dirty deed grows stronger. But it isn’t exactly that easy to do so. Albeit a work of fantasy, one of the most interesting things that this drama shows is how bizarre the system can be. Those in power are able to bend the law to their will, stepping on the common folks who struggle to barely get by every day. It is raw and frustrating to watch, yet it is extremely realistic. It’s probably why it is all the more believable.  Nonetheless, the best part about dramas is that justice still prevails, giving you the illusion that a happy ending is possible. Plus, this show is an expert in giving us extreme plot twists that turn things in Han Young’s favor somehow. So even when Park Gwak To isn’t exactly sent to jail just yet, his money laundering business gets discovered, making his house of cards start to tremble. It only needs someone bold enough to give it the last push for it to completely crumble.   4. Kang Sin Jin and Lee Han Young preparing to strike Some shows clearly point to who will be the definite winner in a battle between bad and good. But right now, it seems as if the odds could be in anyone’s favor. Despite Han Young’s continuous efforts to change things in the Supreme Court of Korea, it could still not be enough to stop Kang Sin Jin from striking and getting control of Suojae, the place where the government’s real power comes from.  The funny thing is that it isn’t as if Kang Sin Jin is exactly trying to get rid of Han Young right now. However, they stand in positions so intrinsically contrary that no amount of empathy or amicability could bring them to good terms after each makes their final moves. In that sense, it’s like watching Thanos and the Avengers, but of Korean law. So we can expect a thrilling battle of epic proportions in the last episodes of “The Judge Returns”!  Start watching “The Judge Returns”:  Andy zar is an avid drama watcher, from K-dramas to C-dramas, she believes any weekend is a good weekend to enjoy 12 hours of binge-watching dramas.

Ji Sung And Oh Se Young Share An Emotional Kiss In "The Judge Returns"

Ji Sung And Oh Se Young Share An Emotional Kiss In "The Judge Returns"

Ji Sung and Oh Se Young’s second-chance love story will take a new turn on the next episode of “The Judge Returns”! MBC’s “The Judge Returns” is a drama starring Ji Sung as corrupt judge Lee Han Young, who lives as a slave to a powerful law firm before unexpectedly traveling back 10 years into the past. Given a second chance, he decides to seek justice by punishing great evils. Spoilers On the previous episode of “The Judge Returns,” Lee Han Young discouraged Yoo Se Hee (Oh Se Young) from taking Jang Tae Sik’s case in order to protect her. Although Lee Han Young and Yoo Se Hee were nothing more than a “show-window couple” in his first life, with no love lost between the two spouses, they wound up developing real feelings for one another in his second life—to the extent where Lee Han Young couldn’t help taking action to save her. In newly released stills from the upcoming episode of the drama, Yoo Se Hee visits an injured Lee Han Young at the hospital, her eyes full of worry. Although Lee Han Young initially greets her with a cheerful smile, they soon wind up sharing a kiss that fills the room with a sense of longing and heartache. The next episode of “The Judge Returns,” which has been extended by 10 minutes, will air on February 13 at 9:40 p.m. KST.

Park Jinyoung And Kim Min Ju Go From Teenage First Loves To Exes In Their 30s In "Shining"

JTBC’s upcoming drama “Shining” has unveiled glimpses of the three stages of Park Jinyoung and Kim Min Ju’s relationship. Starring GOT7’s Park Jinyoung and IZ*ONE’s Kim Min Ju, “Shining” tells the story of young people who once shared a world of their own and gradually become the light in one another’s lives. Yeon Tae Seo (Park Jinyoung) first meets Mo Eun Ah (Kim Min Ju) during the summer vacation of his senior year of high school, when he suddenly transfers to another school. The two hardworking teenagers, each struggling with their own problems and stories, wind up rooting for one another and becoming each other’s first loves.
