    *** A review regarding the movie “The Marvels” is gaining attention. The reviewer finds “The Marvels” to be a complete failure, describing it as a chaotic and incomprehensible film, unlike any previous Marvel movie. While praising Brie Larson’s portrayal of Captain Marvel and Iman Vellani’s performance as Ms. Marvel, the lack of a compelling origin story for the heroes is criticized. The story lacks the depth and coherence found in previous Marvel films, and the action sequences are deemed confusing and cluttered. The reviewer added, "I watched Park Seo-joon’s ‘The Marvels’, I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you”. source : https://v.daum.net/v/ZsnuEGxvrI

    Rain Donates W100 Million to Charity Singer and actor Rain donated W100 million to charity organization Community Chest of Korea last Friday (US$1=W1,317). Apart from merely donating money to the charity since 2004, he has also been working pro bono to help others by doing what he is good at. As part of such efforts, Rain has been promoting the charity's year-round campaigns by appearing in its ads to help drive donations since last September. credit : Chosun Ilbo https://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2023/11/13/2023111300901.html

    @backstreetboysfan it's just that various problems have appeared in Season 3 from the first episode. First of all, the mart’s owners Cha Tae-hyun and Jo In-sung are not fluent in English so there were obstacles in communication. Apart from Korean customers, many locals also visited the mart. Of course, they can do well in basic conversations and simple communications, but their English skills are not enough to run a mart. One of them should at least speak Korean as fluently as guest Han Hyo-joo.

    *** Despite playing a small role and with short screen time, Park Seo-joon’s performance in "The Marvels" already made me feel proud. The movie is currently screened in theaters. It is very impressive that a Korean actor was cast to appear in an MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) film. Park Seo-joon appears in the film 55 minutes after the opening. In that scene, Prince Yan sings while holding the hand of his lover Carol Danvers as they reunite after a long time. Making a completely new transformation from the characters in his previous works, Park Seo-joon amazed me with his visual while dancing and singing. Despite some ridiculous criticism, “The Marvels” is still considered a meaningful challenge and a significant leap forward in Park Seo-joon’s acting career.

    *** Entertainment programs are where actors can show other sides and charms other than acting. Some decided to do seasonal shows or one-time appearances only like Jo In Sung who has continued “Unexpected Business” series for three seasons. Entertainment appearances can become a great weapon for actors to show their new faces, but being a fixed cast can affect their image, too. it's good for Jo In Sung to do programs that allow him to increase his popularity and do acting activities at the same time. source : https://v.daum.net/v/20231113081500371?f=m

    *** In one episode of JTBC’s entertainment show “Handless Day,” Han Ga-in shared, “I also experienced natural miscarriage three times in one year. In the 8th week, I was suddenly informed that his heart was not beating anymore, for three times. Whenever I went to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic with Yeon Jung-hoon, I didn’t say a word. Because I’m so desperate,” her honest confession surprised viewers. source : https://v.daum.net/v/20231112091027693

    @yaya1241 thanks for sharing this. "The Marvels" is making history, and not in a good way: its estimated $47 million North American take over the weekend marks the lowest debut ever for a movie from Disney's normally money-cranking Marvel Cinematic Universe. Analyst David A. Gross said, "This opening is an unprecedented Marvel box office collapse." Is this a clear signal of moviegoers' superhero fatigue after so many successful blockbusters? I guess the factors why it's hurting the film in the theaters are the growth of streaming services now and the recently ended actors' strike ("Marvels" stars were unable to do promotional work).

    *** The romantic comedy "Doctor Slump" will be released soon and the pairing is raising expectations of fans as the two will be seen together on screen for the first time since The Heirs, though the release date for Doctor Slump has not been revealed yet. This project would mark Park Hyung Sik’s first romantic-comedy role after many years. I'm eagerly waiting to see their chemistry together since they have reunited after a decade. It's good that they have been attending events together, creating hype around the upcoming drama. On November 9, Park Shin Hye appeared as a guest on Dingo's show How Was Your Night. She opened up about working with him in 10 years. She commented that she didn't think that she'd get a chance to work with him again but she got to reunite with him for this upcoming project. She also elaborated on the new drama and said that it is a healing romantic comedy and is relatable as it talks about themes of burnout and hard work. She also added that it is a drama that will depict overcoming a slump and relaxing.

    *** Lucky for us viewers for his upcoming drama that the 2-parts will only be 2-weeks apart rather than months. Park Seo Joon always delivers for me.

    @backstreetboysfan this is one of Netflix’s most anticipated dramas. It is set to thrill viewers through Christmas and the New Year. I’m sure Netflix hopes this could be a end-year hit. I am hoping it, too!

    *** On November 10, Lee Dongwook appeared on MONSTA X's Hyungwon's Youtube show, where the two shared fun talks. Here, Lee Dongwook confessed he went around with his pants unbuttoned during his military service because he gained 16kg in the military. He said, "It wasn't a healthy weight gain; it was because I went to the cafeteria and ate a lot without exercising, so I gained only fat.They give out the uniform just once, but since I gained 16kg, it didn't fit. So I kept my flies open."

    @CallieP in a way, I thought so, too but, this is peak hotness of Lee Min Ho for me. For something light and bubbly it’s OK for me. My favorite part of the drama was the talk around architecture. I loved the house they lived, so much so that I noted some design details. It was one of those must-watch dramas back in the day so I guess a lot of people watched it because everyone else was.
