Sorry @leo2020. I made a mistake. But I double-check and correct it immediately. 1) For the iQiyi World Conference, Deng Wei's "Love Of The Divine Tree" ranked second to "Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Sword & Beloved" (starring Cheng Yi). This is the hottest drama of the year. (23,000 votes)

" Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon Skip Final Interviews Despite 'Queen of Tears' Success" Kim Soohyun and Kim Ji-won, from the successful drama "Queen of Tears," are not expected to participate in a final media interview following the conclusion of the series. Despite the show's popularity and the interest from viewers, scheduling conflicts have prevented them from arranging the interviews to share behind-the-scenes stories with fans. The drama, which started with a 5.9% viewership rating and reached as high as 21.6% in its 14th episode, has garnered significant attention and affection, particularly for the chemistry between Kim Soohyun and Kim Ji-won's characters. The actors have been busy post-series with commitments like advertisement shoots, making it challenging to accommodate additional interview engagements. The drama is set to conclude on the 28th episode, with the final 2 episodes scheduled for extended airtime, and a wrap-up celebration planned for the cast and crew on the 27th. Despite fans' interest in hearing more about the production, the decision not to conduct final interviews has left many feeling disappointed https://m.starnewskorea.com/view.html?no=2024042411421016092&ref=

Great to hear)

L dares to choose Confucius over Lee Yoo-young by tccolb KBS’s upcoming Dare to Love Me has been busily pushing out promos, with a new poster quickly following the first teaser where we meet our soon-to-be-lovers pair: L (a.k.a. Kim Myung-soo)(Numbers) and Lee Yoo-young (Insider). I didn’t expect our modern woman Kim Hong-do (Lee Yoo-young) to already be smitten, but there’s no doubt she’s head-over-heels with that dreamy gaze opening the teaser. It’s pretty admirable as well that she doesn’t hide the heart on her sleeve, confessing with a sunny earnestness that, “I like you.” Hong-do addresses him with familiarity and by name. But our Shin Yoon-bok (L) is a man of grandiose proprieties who may as well have come from the Joseon past. Hong-do is thus taken aback when Yoon-bok’s non-response is a respectfully formal, “I am fine,” as if rejecting a waiter’s offer of napkins. Hong-do doesn’t understand all the fuss and wants to at least exchange numbers to keep in touch. But Yoon-bok raises a hand to stop her, once again deflecting, “I am fine.” We wouldn’t have a rom-com, though, if our hero doesn’t eventually eat his words. In the meantime, we watch as our heroine grows frustrated by the teacher-zoning and the final sequence ends with Hong-do’s desperate plea to not be treated with respect. With production for the webtoon adaptation led by PD Jang Yang-ho and writer Park Yumi, KBS’s Dare to Love Me is slated to premiere on May 13. https://www.dramabeans.com/2024/04/l-dares-to-choose-confucius-over-lee-yoo-young/

Hide: Episodes 9-10 by quirkycase We’re in the final stage now as everyone readies for the inevitable showdown between our two formidable women. With the stakes higher than ever, our heroine prepares to end this fight once and for all. But her adversary has a few tricks up her sleeve that might just be more than our heroine can handle. EPISODES 9-10 In the penultimate week, we finally unearth Yeon-joo’s mysterious motivations for this whole elaborate and violent game. And it turns out that underneath it all she’s, like so many villains before her, just a hurt child lashing out. Her hatred of Moon-young indeed stems from the relationship between their fathers and its tragic ending. To make sense of it all, we rewind to the night Moon-young’s father left her. His friend HA JAE-PIL came to visit, but it wasn’t a happy occasion. It seems the money issues impacted him too, and they got into a fight. The man stumbled and fell off a Cliff of Doom. Rather than call for help, Moon-young’s father watched the man die and then planted his own wallet in the dead man’s pocket. And here’s where we learn Moon-young’s secret: she’s complicit in her father’s identity theft. That night, he instructed Moon-young to lead the police to the cliff in two days and identify the dead body as his. The teenaged Moon-young, though reluctant, does what he says and lies that the body is her father’s. As luck would have it, the dead man was Yeon-joo’s father. She spent decades looking for him, but because his body was misidentified, she only discovered his death five years ago when she located Moon-young’s father masquerading as Jae-pil. Moon-young comes clean to her sidekicks about her father and the deception she participated in all those years ago. Only Jin-woo, who has become quite the Moon-young cheerleader, is supportive of her decision to act as her father’s lawyer. She knows this trial is likely a trap, but she’s ready to put this all to bed. She and her father both feel guilty, and Moon-young decides it’s time for them to atone. Once again, she goes for a dramatic court reveal. On day one of the trial, she announces that Jae-pil pleads guilty to the murder of Chairman Choi. She then discloses her father’s true identity, stunning Yeon-joo and the entire courtroom by baldly stating both her and her father’s role in what happened to the real Jae-pil. She promises to take responsibility and cooperate with any investigation. There’s just one teensy problem here: as you may recall, Moon-young’s father did not murder Chairman Choi. Moon-young’s reasoning for having her father plead guilty is that Yeon-joo set the trial up as a trap anyway with evidence that’s difficult to refute – they might as well take the loss and view this as punishment. I’m with Shin-hwa that this feels like a cop out. By fixating on righting past wrongs, Moon-young is covering up the recent murder committed by Yeon-joo and Chairman Choi’s son. It feels like Moon-young is just exhausted at this point and hoping that Yeon-joo will see this as an acceptable ending. Of course, Yeon-joo is not satisfied with this conclusion. Like any good villain, she wants Moon-young to suffer the same torment she did and that means leaving her alone and bereft. Her next move is to bribe Sung-jae’s selfish father to fabricate evidence that either Moon-young or Sung-jae were involved in corruption; they need a reason to suspend that phony redevelopment project, and someone needs to take the fall. Unsurprisingly, he chooses to spare his evil son and throw Moon-young under the bus. Sung-jae is truly the product of his self-serving, victim-blaming parents. The minute he finds out about Moon-young’s father, he makes the whole situation about him. How dare she lie to him for all those years? He puts it on par with his own deception – you know, feigning suicide and having an affair – and acts like she has no moral leg to stand on now. His victim complex is truly astounding. Determined to destroy Moon-young’s life, Yeon-joo teams up with Sung-jae and mommy dearest to help them fight for custody of Bom. They drum up a bogus abuse charge, accusing Moon-young of neglect and deeming her an unfit mother. The family’s money talks, and they get the police to put Bom in their custody during the investigation. Bom already told her father she didn’t want to live with him, but he’d rather traumatize her by forcibly separating her from her mother than lose to Moon-young. Moon-young is naturally beside herself and comes closer to breaking than at any point so far. Thankfully, she’s got friends on her side to keep her from faltering. Jin-woo takes point, encouraging her to think like a lawyer and fight this legally. He reminds her that while she can’t contact Bom, he can. So he becomes the go-between, passing messages between Bom and Moon-young. more https://www.dramabeans.com/2024/04/hide-episodes-9-10/

Watch: Lee Min Ki, Kwak Sun Young, And Heo Sung Tae Showcase Comical Synergy As A Capable Team In "Crash" Teaser Drama Preview Apr 24, 2024 by D Lee Upcoming drama “Crash” has released a new teaser! “Crash” is a crime investigation drama about a Traffic Crime Investigation (TCI) team that tracks crimes that occur on the road. Lee Min Ki will play rational individualist Cha Yeon Ho, the new head of the Traffic Crime Investigation (TCI) team, who graduated from KAIST. Kwak Sun Young will star as Min So Hee, the ace of the TCI team, who possesses incredible martial arts and driving skills along with keen judgment and a warm heart. Heo Sung Tae will portray Jung Chae Man, a compassionate and veteran team leader who formed the TCI team out of analysis of a lack of system in combating traffic crimes. The new teaser highlights various comical scenes demonstrating the peculiarities of each character. Cha Yeon Ho, a KAIST graduate who would be better off somewhere else, defies everyone’s expectations of him as a flawless person by portraying a rather awkward but a much more humane personality. Contrary to his clean-cut and strong appearance, he gets easily flipped over by Min So Hee, who asks him, “How do you want to be a police if you are so fragile?” Min So Hee, on the other hand, portrays a tough and brave police who is fearless, including her reckless but impeccable driving skills. As proud members of the TCI, they do not shrink from their responsibilities and keep tracking down crimes no matter what, and their synergistic team play drives high anticipation for the drama. https://www.soompi.com/article/1656814wpp/watch-lee-min-ki-kwak-sun-young-and-heo-sung-tae-showcase-comical-synergy-as-a-capable-team-in-crash-teaser
