*** 'My Name is Gabriel' is the new JTBC variety show that features Park Myung Soo, Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Yeon Hye Ran, Dex, and Gabee as they experience the lives of other people all over the world, people who do not know who they are. Sigh..... that viewership rating for the new variety show has hit a series low. The show premiered on June 21st, however, the July 19th episode marked the lowest viewership rating of 0.897%. It's also on Disney+. I like it. It was refreshing to see them living someone else's life. I did enjoy the moments of interaction they had with people they meet. The concept is refreshing. Was it lack of promotion? I haven't seen so much about this show. Honestly, I watched this show only for Park Bogum and Ji Chang Wook.  This show even changed its timeslot it shared with Jinny’s Kitchen 2".

Jinny's Kitchen 2 is almost 10% ratings. My Name is Gabriel is also enjoyable to watch. The only part I didn't like was they dragged the scenes of the singing choir of Bogum a bit too much.

*** Ji Chang Wook,  expressed his love for his mother, who raised him alone during his appearance in 'You Quiz on the Block'. In the clip titled 'The Reason Why Ji Chang Wook Is Still Living with His Mother', Ji Chang Wook said, "My father passed away when I was little, so my mother had to go through a lot. As a child, I often thought that I should protect my mother as her son, family member, and man. My mother ran a barbecue place and then a maeun-tang (spicy fish stew) diner in our neighborhood when I was young. It was a tiny diner, and she worked alone. So I used to serve food there when the place got crowded. When my mom ran a barbecue place, the most challenging task for me was cleaning up the grill pans. And when she ran a maeun-tang place, cleaning up the fish tank was the hardest work. I couldn't just go to school like other students because tuition was way too expensive. So I used to work part-time with my friend, who is now the CEO of my agency." Ji Chang Wook shared that he and the CEO of his agency go way back; they went to the same high school. According to him, " He's my best friend. We have been friends for twenty years since we first met during our first year of high school. He was previously my manager before he became CEO of the agency. While he was working part-time in Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province, I reached out to him and asked if he would be interested in working as my manager. That's how we started working together."

*** "My Name Is Gabriel," one of the most highly anticipated entertainment shows of this year has continued to suffer low viewership. Perhaps wishing to avoid direct competition with Jinny's Kitchen, "My Name Is Gabriel" switched from 8:50 p.m. on Friday to a later time slot, at 10:30 p.m. Despite the change, the show continued to struggle with ratings in the 1 percent range. The fifth episode on July 19 even dipped below the single-digit mark to record 0.9 percent. Eight episodes remain in the season. Kim Tae Ho (PD & Producer) excels at highlighting the chemistry between diverse cast members, but 'My Name Is Gabriel' focuses on a reality show format with the cast living abroad for 72 hours, missing this key element. They say - the program's concept feels outdated. The missions in "My Name Is Gabriel" lack clarity. With so many entertainment programs available, a show needs a clear purpose to engage viewers.

Jeon Jong Seo Takes Center Stage in Teaser for Historical Action Series ‘Queen Woo’

 

 

The intense struggle for survival begins for Jeon Jong Seo in the upcoming TVING original series Queen Woo (literal title). The series, which kicks off with the king’s sudden death, has just released a thrilling trailer and posters, building anticipation.

 

Queen Woo follows the story of Queen Woo, who finds herself in a deadly power struggle with various factions vying for the throne after the king’s unexpected demise. Set in the historical backdrop of Goguryeo, the series focuses on Queen Woo’s desperate efforts to place a new king within 24 hours.

The newly released teaser poster features Jeon Jong Seo as Woo Hee, showcasing her regal and formidable presence.

 

Wearing a radiant gold crown, Woo Hee exudes an unapproachable aura. Her expression, filled with determination rather than sorrow, hints at the gravity of her situation following the king’s death.

 

Another poster contrasts this image by depicting Woo Hee in armor, shooting an arrow, symbolizing her fight for survival and dominance in the ensuing power struggle. The caption, “The king is dead, now you must protect yourself,” encapsulates the perilous journey she faces as she takes on the formidable task of securing her position amid chaos.

 

 

The trailer further reveals the turmoil within and outside the Goguryeo palace following the unexpected death of King Go Nam Moo, played by Ji Chang Wook. As Queen Woo must navigate the threats from opposing forces without a moment to mourn, the stakes are raised, hinting at an epic confrontation.

 

As Queen Woo ventures outside the palace walls to install a new king, it remains to be seen whether she can fend off those pursuing her. Reflecting on the advice from Go Nam Moo, “Now you must protect yourself,” Woo Hee prepares to take up arms against her enemies, promising intense action scenes. The series also explores the complex relationships and power dynamics among key characters, including the loyal official Eul Pa So (Kim Mu Yeol), the queen’s attendant Woo Soon (Jung Yu Mi), the ambitious third prince Go Bal Ki (Lee Soo Hyuk), and the king’s loyalist Moo Gol (Park Ji Hwan).
