Hi irilight, thanks for sharing this. No idea about this St. Michael French restaurant - I've learned MORE about him reading what you shared above. I didn't know that he lives with his parents, though. The frog has also found its way as symbols for organizations and businesses that use the face of the frog for attention and capturing the interest of the media. The Egyptians consider the frogs as a symbol of life and fertility. Chinese who worship the “three legged frogs” as usurers of wealth and good fortune. Frogs are used to attract wealth and prosperity for their owners.

Hi irilight, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks for sharing this. It's just so NICE watching a video when you can understand what it's all about. Finally...............I'm done watching his drama,"Haechi -" And this time I've watched it continuously.  This drama has presented elaborated production design and decent warring scenes. The action scenes were nicely choreographed and the settings looked realistic. I guess the story started really slow since the drama introduces many characters to the viewers. Hence, it’s sometimes boring, but the story was intriguing. Love it!

8 K-Dramas With Sizzling Chemistry Between The Leads

 

Arguably one of the most important aspects of a drama is the chemistry between the leading actors, and this can determine how immersed viewers will be with the story. How well the actors vibe with each other has a significant impact on how we connect with the drama.

 

Here are some memorable examples of dramas where the synergy of the leads brought more life to the script:

 

 

“Cinderella and Four Knights”

Park So Dam’s character Eun Ha Won is hired by a rich family to be a live-in housekeeper for three cousins Kang Hyun Min (Ahn Jae Hyun), Kang Ji Woon (Jung Il Woo), and Kang Seo Woo (Lee Jung Shin). A major charm of this drama is its skillful use of stereotypical K-drama cliches, which could be hard to watch if done poorly, but Park So Dam and her male co-stars embrace them fully with great teamwork for an addicting drama you won’t want to stop watching.
