*** Our Memories, an upcoming C-drama, has made fans furious. They accuse it of plagiarizing the poster styling of K-drama Our Beloved Summer. This poster was shared online a while ago. They share similar tones and styling. It's also set in a street with the leads against a white wall filled with foliage towards the top. The actors’ ensembles also follow a matching color palette. It's just that the C-ML is wearing an off-white t-shirt with blue jeans like Choi Woo Shik; the only difference is that the latter’s is a long-sleeve shirt. While the C-FL also styles a white and yellow dress similar to Kim Da Mi’s white shirt and yellow jacket in Our Beloved Summer poster. Even the angles of the shot are almost identical.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has provided opportunities for cooperation, such as joint product development, through a contest. We encouraged the conclusion of business agreements between companies and supported initial costs for smooth IP use negotiations. It will also support a portion of future IP costs, product planning costs, and promotional costs. In order to quickly establish itself, various marketing projects are being carried out in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

What I like the most is that the main couple resolves all misunderstandings quickly. When Yanxi told Zhi his true identity she didnt push him away. That was mature. The sibling's scenes are one of my favorites... The first encounter between ShenHuan and Shayao was so hilarious... Their chess scenes were so lovely.... The actor (Shenhuan) is pretty good looking.

@Magician I couldn't agree more with this. He has continued to engage with his audience by requesting, “Send me a one-liner review of episodes 13 and 14, and I’ll congratulate a few of you through a draw.” Subscribers to his Bubble have been concise in their praises due to the platform’s limit of 30 characters. He even joked about the training involved in using Bubble, saying, “It’s not that I’m good at Bubble, everyone starting has to go through an 8-hour course at the company,” which led fans to praise his playful honesty.

*** These are the top 5 favorite Korean dramas chosen by overseas fans (2024 Overseas Hallyu Survey) from over 26 countries and how "Squid Game" continues to remain at the top. The top 5 series consists of "Squid Game", "The Glory", "King The Land", "Crash Landing On You", and "Taxi Driver", in that order. For the third time since its release, "Squid Game" continues to dominate, earning mass-attention from audiences worldwide. This was conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Considering the news about "Squid Game 2" and how it's going to drop sometime this year, I hope the craze is far from over.

Celebrating the success & the finale, tvN QueenOfTears team, including lead casts, will be having another wrap-up party on 27th. The pre-production drama actually had their wrap-up party in February but decided to have aother one following its success & discussing for a reward vacation.

Helmed by director Ahn Pan Seok of the hit drama “Something in the Rain,” “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” is set against the backdrop of Daechi, a neighborhood renowned as the epicenter of private education in Korea. The plot centers around an instructor who tirelessly assists a student named Lee Joon Ho (Wi Ha Joon) in gaining admission to a prestigious university. In a twist of fate, Lee Joon Ho later returns to the academy as a rookie instructor after resigning from a large company because he remains fixated on his first love, his academy teacher Seo Hye Jin (Jung Ryeo Won), even after becoming an adult. The newly released stills capture a look at rookie instructor Lee Joon Ho, who used to not be interested in studying in the slightest. However, his life took a turn for the better once he met Seo Hye Jin, who eventually helped Lee Joon Ho get into a prestigious university and become a miracle case. Nevertheless, Lee Joon Ho’s life takes a turn once more as he resolves to quit his job at a big company. As he cleans out his work station, Lee Joon Ho does not look regretful in the slightest, raising anticipation for what changes he is awaiting. Another still depicts Lee Joon Ho smiling brightly in front of the chalkboard while wearing an open recruitment application number on his chest.

He allows the actors to act to their hearts content. There were many moments I felt that it was ‘as expected’ when seeing how he made new and impressive scenes through an unexpected gaze. It was a set in which I learned and felt a lot of things.” Regarding his character Lee Joon Ho, Wi Ha Joon shared, “He’s a confident and honest person. Since he is honest with expressing his emotions, he is very daring, and he is someone who acts on something he wants without hesitation. That’s why he may seem selfish or like a child at times, but the way he does his best and works passionately is an unexpected [charm].” “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” will premiere on May 11 at 9:20 p.m. KST. https://www.soompi.com/article/1656580wpp/wi-ha-joon-dishes-on-reuniting-with-something-in-the-rain-director-for-the-midnight-romance-in-hagwon
