Through this latest Marie Claire pictorial, she once again solidified her presence as an ambassador by seamlessly combining Korean sensibilities with Bvlgari’s luxurious glamour.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won is preparing for her return to the small screen through SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia.' She will play Doctor X, Gye Soo Jung, a surgeon who takes on a corrupt medical industry. The series is based on the massively successful Japanese drama franchise “Doctor X” originally aired on TV Asahi. Marie Claire Korea’s June issue is available at major online and offline bookstores nationwide.

That whole “ordinary person suddenly gaining access to something that changes everything” vibe makes it so addicting to watch. I think that’s also why the ratings climbed so fast to 7.9%.

Do you think the hype is mostly because of the concept itself, or are the actors actually carrying the drama that well?

Yesterday, I posted something similar but only with 3 dramas : PERFECT CROWN, MY ROYAL NEMESIS, WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE !

And I received a lot of comments saying that there were other good dramas this month that have already aired or are still airing, and voilà haha ✨

I made a second video because I was bored hihi. I hope you appreciate it !

Give me in the comments which one is your favorite among these dramas !! 👀🔥

I think they are equally good, but let’s hear your opinions 😌✨

The body of a young woman thought to have run away four decades ago is discovered. This brings up unpleasantries for her blind husband and her young son now grown. A funeral is held for the woman without a picture. As old Neigbor’s gather to talk about the young woman, it is clear that the one outstanding trait of the young runaway was that she was very Ugly. This peaks strong curiosity in the son, as to the true appearance of his mother. The father, blind from birth, had never seen his wife.

The Ugly is a profound movie which says a lot about human nature. The Ugly is a simplistic complicated story. Just like a photo use to be developed from a negative, you have to see how the negative turns into a profound positive image in this movie. Only then is true light revealed. The Ugly actually is two movies running at the same time. The one you believe is the image that is captured for you. However, the truth of the story may only be revealed to you when you replay the movie and capture the other movie playing at the same time.

People say that something is deep. The Ugly is a deep movie.

The movie stars Park Jeong Min. I respect him as an actor. He seem to pick the “I don’t know about this one” type of script, as many said for the K-Drama Utopia. When you look at his choices, however, you see that his brain just operates faster than most people. Park Jeong Min sees it before we do. Park Jeong Min won the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor for the Movie Category for his work in The Ugly. Park Jeong Min plays a double role, that of the son in the future and the father in the past. Please put this movie on your list to view and be prepared to see it twice.
 
Note: Since The Ugly is a rental on Prime Video, to replay just rewind or digest it and replay later. You have 24 hours for each rental.

While multiple scenes with main leads were there to show us about their relationship, none of them felt properly placed or written. Even the 'wow no girl had ever talked back to me' trope felt underwhelming in the drama. And we know IU is a great acting talent and ML is charming enough to carry the drama, so its definitely the writing that is poor.

Nevertheless, loved the scene of Queen mother and ML in the school. They showed lots of chemistry despite this being when ML was already interested in IU.

Honestly, here and K2, I would have rooted for the villains to end up with ML.

The FL still being workaholic and having no other personality arc made my mad AF.

I started In Your Radiant Season yesterday and suddenly I’m already on episode 5. The female lead is Lee Sung-kyung, Yoongi’s friend. She’s so pretty and the story’s really good so far!

Bonjour ! Comme on dit… dites-moi en commentaires lequel de ces trois dramas est votre vrai banger du mois 😭✨

Following mounting criticism surrounding alleged historical distortion in Perfect Crown, lead actors IU and Byeon Woo Seok have both released heartfelt public apologies, acknowledging viewers’ concerns and taking responsibility for their involvement in the controversial drama.

On May 18, IU shared a lengthy apology statement admitting she failed to approach the project with enough responsibility and awareness regarding the historical issues raised by viewers. “I have carefully read every single comment left by many viewers over the past few days,” she said, adding, “I am deeply sorry and my heart remains heavy because I failed to show a responsible attitude as the lead actor and seem to have caused great disappointment.”

The actress further reflected on her shortcomings, stating, “I reflect on and apologize without any excuses for approaching my acting without giving deeper thought to the various historical accuracy issues in the drama that you pointed out.” She continued, “I should have read and studied the script more carefully as an actor, but I am ashamed of myself for failing to do so. I did not properly recognize the issues beforehand. I am sorry.”

IU also thanked viewers for their criticism and promised to be more careful in future projects. Earlier, during a special fan event held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall for the drama’s finale screening, the actress reportedly became emotional and tearful while addressing disappointed fans, saying, “I must do even a little bit better for you all. It is truly my fault to disappoint you or show an inadequate side.”

Byeon Woo Seok also issued a public apology, revealing he had spent the weekend reflecting on the controversy. “I am posting this with a heavy heart for those who felt discomfort and concern due to the work,” he shared. The actor admitted he lacked sufficient consideration regarding the historical context portrayed in the drama, stating, “Through the comments from viewers, I was able to reflect and introspect, and I have once again deeply realized the need to adopt an attitude of greater responsibility as an actor.”

He concluded his statement by apologizing sincerely to viewers who supported the series and promised to approach future projects “with a more cautious and profound attitude.”

​Hey everyone! I finally wrapped up Phantom Lawyer yesterday, and I’m still buzzing from it. I’d give it a solid 8.5/10. Honestly, it’s been a minute since a drama got me this deeply hooked and it really has that perfect combination of everything you need to make a series completely unmissable.

​The writing is just incredibly tight, and the pacing doesn’t waste a single second. But what truly sets it apart and makes it so special is the exceptional acting ,the entire cast did a really amazing job. Yoo Yeon-seok and Esom are phenomenal together. I’ll admit I hesitated to watch this at first, But I am so glad I gave this a chance because he completely proved what a powerhouse actor he is. Nobody could have delivered the character of Shin I-rang better than him, and I would have flat-out quit watching if they had killed him off.

​The show just covers almost everything so effortlessly. It balances bits of emotional sad scenes, comedy and pure anger flawlessly without ever losing its grip. Every single performance feels precise and even the minor characters are so fully realized that there isn't a single weak link anywhere in the cast.

​It really gave me those classic weekend vibes where you just can't wait for the next episode to drop. I highly recommend giving it a shot if you haven't yet. Did anyone else love Yoo Yeon-seok's performance as much as I did or are there any actual flaws you found? Because right now, I'm finding it hard to see any!

Closing the book on Perfect Crown and I wanted to get one last post in. Gong Seung Yeon was so wonderful in this drama. Her character took me through the gambit of emotions from despise to sympathy.

The support cast was outstanding, wished they had more to work with.

​

Personally think it's a fun and relaxing kdrama to watch plus it's family friendly. I would 100% recommend this to anyone I know

In the two episodes I've watched I can't complain. The comedy is top tier and I can't wait to see where the plot is leading us to.

Did you read the manhwa first or are you seeing it for the first time?

I haven't read the manhwa yet but I'm thinking of starting to read it because I can't wait till the other episodes are aired. I'm so excited 😝
