willenette Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 *** The dramas aired by JTBC last year remained bitter and struggling with ratings. Their past winning dramas were on 2020 yet, which were "Itaewon Class" and "The World of the Married". I hope the cable network will again have a strong will to capture both popularity and workability this year through Kang Ha-neul's next work "Insider" where he returns to the action suspense genre. I'm looking forward to seeing if JTBC, which showed a large number of high-quality works last year, will be able to capture the public's hearts with works that go beyond perfection to popularity.

They got up and excitedly made a wave by getting up and from their seats and putting their arms up high when Han Hyo Joo in surprise said, "Oh no, I think I ripped my skirt.", then held onto the top part of her skirt. Kang Ha Neul did not know what to do that he started panicking a little. That was when the interviewer playfully told him, "Just turn around and stay like that!" Upon hearing this, he turned around quickly and stuck himself against the wall. - hahaha - Then, the interviewer told him when she managed to sort her skirt out, Kang Ha Neul turned around and commented, "Is everything okay now?" - LOL - source : SBS Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
