This actor has received a lot of attention for her work in dramas and movies. Her modeling debut was in 1996 when she was in her 3^(rd) year of middle school.

Since then, she has starred in multiple internationally known and critically acclaimed projects including The World That They Live In, Descendants of the Sun, and Encounter. However, her most notable drama is The Glory, an enthralling revenge drama about a woman, brutally abused in high school, who seeks retribution against her bullies. Her performance earned her a Best Actress – Television award at the 59^(th) Baeksang Arts Awards. Song  Hye Kyo has a new drama Tantara intended for release later in 2026.

안녕 친구! (Annyeong Chingu!) It's been awhile since I posted one of these!

With Merry Berry Love set to release in October, I started to think about kdramas with Japanese leads and jdramas with Korean leads.

Merry Berry Love starts the kdrama favorite Ji Chang Wook (Worst of Evil, Welcome to Samdalri, K2). This jdrama follows in the footsteps of popular jdramas with Korean actors like Romantics Anonymous (Oguri Shin and Han Hyo Joo) and Eye Love You (Nakaido Fumi and Chae Jong Hyeop) as well as kdramas with Japanese actors like What Comes After Love (Lee Se Young and Sakaguchi Kentaro) and Can This Love Be Translated? (Kim Seon Ho, Go Youn Jung, and Fukushi Sota).

Have you see any kdrama and jdrama crossovers? If so, what do you think? Do you have a favorite? Or one that didn't work for you? Don't limit yourself to the dramas in the photo - those are just for inspiration!

Check out the MyDramaList page for Merry Berry Love here.

Mousetrap, scheduled to be released on 28 August, is the latest kdrama based on a webtoon source material.

Webtoons are a popular story telling format featuring digital comics that are formatted for ease of reading on smartphones and similarly small screens. The current model originated in 2000 in South Korea. Webtoons slowly grew in popularity in countries like Japan, China, India, and others. Many popular kdramas originated as webtoons and were adapted for live action series bringing their stories to a larger global audience. While many webtoons are turned into beloved dramas, some fans of the specific webtoons feel the live action version doesn’t live up to the digital story.  

Do you enjoy kdramas based on webtoons? Which ones are your favorite and why? Or is there a webtoon you loved and didn’t feel the kdrama lived up to its potential?
