*** Kim Rae Won for Arena Korea is looking fine. He is one of the rare actors who has carved his own space in the entertainment industry, where he is largely unaffected by younger trendy or breakout stars. He’ll always receive and be cast in good productions, be it dramas or movies.

*** I've re-watched his latest drama, "The First Responders 2". The second season was good even better than the first one. The intensity of S2 has surpassed that of the first season. Watching the entire episode 3 gave me a furrowed brow because the plot completely exceeded my expectations. It’s rare for a scriptwriter to kill off one of the main characters, and I can even say that I’ve never seen a main character die in the middle of a Korean drama before. Is the scriptwriter running out of ideas by killing off one of the male leads in this season? Even the National Forensic Service (NFS) is under bomb attack; it’s tough being a police officer, firefighter or forensic scientist in Korea. Episode 9 didn’t have many explosive moments, since it’s hard not to suspect that the new forensic scientist is DEX. But he came too late; there was no suspense that he was the big villain. The drama presented the action scenes well, but the pace was messy. However, the drama managed to end smoothly.

Hello!! 

I always miss our Prince land and here is my comfort place. My beautiful place. Even if i got stuck in reality a lot. 

 

Oh, our dear hardworking @willenette, thank you for all!!

You are amazing!

*** Yes, I am following the drama "The First Responders 2", though my interest has been also piqued by "Moving". I love rom-com genre but, on my current watch list: Moving and The First Responders Season 2, none are romance-centric, and all present pretty substantive content, if even it requires some stretching of imagination. It is so fun to see Kim Rae Won running around creating a ruckus as a hot-headed detective working with the firefighters and National Forensic Service to solve crimes. I also enjoyed the first season, which is why I’m watching the second. It's just that there was the unexpected death of a main character as well, played by Son Ho Joon.  Sigh............ 

But kim rae won character will return if is a 3rd season? 

He was alive at the end, right? 

He's very talented our Prince

@maria1983  At the time of this writing, I haven't heard of the S3. Yes, he's alive.  But, there is still no guarantee that there will be a third season.

*** Aside from rom-com, medical drama genre is also my favorite. I love Doctor Slump, Doctor John, Ghost Doctor and Doctors. They're so good and never get bored. I always enjoy watching medical dramas.  

 

 

Here are 10 Must-Watch Medical K-Dramas

 

JTBC’s “Doctor Slump” has achieved international acclaim and phenomenal success, ranking at number one on non-English TV series on Netflix within just two weeks of its broadcast. Medical dramas have gained immense popularity worldwide for their blend of heart-wrenching stories, intense medical cases, and emotional rollercoasters.

Doctors

 

 

 

“Doctors” revolves around Yoo Hye-jun, a successful neurosurgeon who was a delinquent in high school but changed after meeting her teacher, Hong Ji-hong.

@maria1983  I totally love the movie, too! Besides, it's my favorite genre - rom-com! The synopsis is very attractive. It's not complicated nor original; because we can see this type of story in some dramas/movies as well. But, the film's storyline was really appealing.This movie was just too cute. The ending is too cute, too! What I most enjoyed? Biased aside, Kim Rae Won's character, Sang Min. I recommend it for everyone. A must watch movie!! You could watch this with younger audience ( 11+) as it doesn't have any R rated scenes in it. It was entertaining and fun to watch. And it contained one of my favorite themes, childhood love - wahhh..... *swoon*. Kim Rae Won and Moon Geun Young are so adorable together and have a great chemistry. They're fantastic together. I had fun watching the movie. I wished it was a drama so, it would be longer. It was ridiculous that her grandfather was insisting on her marrying a guy at least 5 years her senior WHILE she was in high school. But, i guess it's a cultural thing, huh? My Little Bride has a simple story. I think the age gap relationship has a very unique set of challenges and I enjoy watching these sorts of couples discover their path together.

Yeah, definitely I'm again in a period when i really miss Prince. After all this time he's still the favourite. The best! 

Our amazing Prince charming!!! 

I just love " My little bride" for it's simplicity, but with so much effect on my state of mind. That movie relax me and makes me feel better. Is a pure joy. 

The grandpa seams he just wants to be sure they will just end together . He really insisted in that wish.

But maybe he knows better.

Hahaha

I love their apartment. I also love how relaxed they are. 

 

Oh, i indeed love this movie. For eternity!!
