Lee Min Ki Handcuffs Lee Bo Young During Tense Standoff In “Mary Kills People”
MBC’s “Mary Kills People” has released new stills teasing a tense confrontation in the upcoming episode! A remake of the Canadian series of the same name, MBC’s “Mary Kills People” stars Lee Bo Young as Woo So Jung, a doctor who illegally provides euthanasia to patients with incurable illnesses. Spoilers In the previous episode, Woo So Jung’s shocking past came to light: she was once suspected of murdering her mother, who had been battling cancer, and this revelation exposed the moment that led her to embrace assisted death. Despite Ban Ji Hoon’s (Lee Min Ki) repeated warnings to stop, So Jung remained resolute in her decision. The newly released stills capture the moment Woo So Jung is finally handcuffed by Ban Ji Hoon. Just as she confirms the death of patient Lee Yoon Hee (Yang Jo Ah), who had been suffering from excruciating pain, Ji Hoon bursts into the room. Without hesitation, he snaps handcuffs around her wrists, while So Jung returns his gaze with a mix of fear and steely determination. The scene sets the stage for a fierce showdown between Woo So Jung, who carries a conviction and sense of duty toward assisted death, and Ban Ji Hoon, who is determined to arrest her and uphold the law. Will So Jung be taken away in handcuffs, or will their conflict spiral into an even more explosive confrontation? The production team remarked, “Please stay tuned to see whether Ban Ji Hoon will be able to extract a confession from Woo So Jung—and what fate awaits them both.” The next episode of “Mary Kills People” will air on August 22 at 10 p.m. KST.
Lee Sang Hee And Joo Jong Hyuk Are Jun Ji Hyun’s Most Reliable Allies In New Drama “Tempest”
Disney+’s upcoming drama “Tempest” has unveiled new stills of Lee Sang Hee and Joo Jong Hyuk! “Tempest” follows Moon Ju (Jun Ji Hyun), a renowned UN ambassador who sets out to uncover the truth behind an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, and San Ho (Kang Dong Won), a special agent of unknown nationality who must protect her, as they confront a massive truth that threatens the Korean Peninsula. Lee Sang Hee stars as Yeo Mi Ji, Moon Ju’s loyal aide. Having lived abroad with Moon Ju since her days as a diplomat, Mi Ji shares a deep bond with her. She is defined by unwavering trust and respect for Moon Ju, willing to follow her into even the most dangerous situations without hesitation. Lee Sang Hee shared, “I even hand-copied our nation’s Constitution, thinking it might help me embody a character who walks toward an ideal together with others. ‘Tempest’ is a project that fills me with pride just to be a part of.” Joo Jong Hyuk takes on the role of Park Chang Hee, Moon Ju’s chief of security. An elite graduate of the police academy and former ace of the Cyber Investigation Bureau, Chang Hee boasts an impressive career. After the assassination attempt on the presidential candidate, he becomes solely responsible for Moon Ju’s safety. Striving for perfection against the ongoing threats surrounding her, he grows wary when San Ho, the newly appointed head of a separate security team, begins to draw too close to Moon Ju. Joo Jong Hyuk shared, “I learned directly from someone who had actually worked as a presidential bodyguard, from the posture and walk to how to scan the surroundings and maintain vigilance. If in the past I’ve shown a freer and more playful side, this time I focused on delivering a more restrained and emotionless performance.” “Tempest” will premiere with three episodes on September 10, followed by two new episodes weekly starting September 17, for a total of nine episodes.

3 Reasons To Watch Romantic C-Drama "Deep Affectionate Eyes"
Ye Meng (Zhang Yu Xi) is a spunky and confident career woman. However, after facing constant setbacks in her professional life, she decides to leave the city and her job behind. She returns to her hometown, a quaint and laid-back fishing village. It is there that she encounters the aloof and brooding Li Jin Yu (Bi Wen Jun). Despite his cold demeanor and his efforts to keep his distance, Ye Meng finds herself irresistibly drawn to him. Unbeknownst to her, Jin Yu carries the weight of a painful and traumatic past. To protect himself, he has built walls around himself, refusing to get close to others. Ye Meng also has her own scars, and despite her sunny personality, she still struggles to move forward after her mother died by suicide. Jin Yu eventually finds himself unable to resist Ye Meng’s warmth, reciprocating her feelings. But just as love begins to bloom, an unexpected twist puts their relationship to the test. For their love to endure, both must confront their painful pasts and the person at the center of their deepest wounds: Jin Yu’s mother. “Deep Affectionate Eyes” begins as a seemingly ordinary romance drama but quickly takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster with its unexpected turns. And the fiery chemistry between Zhang Yu Xi and Bi Wen Jun only heightens the tension and allure of the story. Here are three reasons why “Deep Affectionate Eyes” deserves a spot on your watchlist. Fierce and fabulous Zhang Yu Xi Ye Meng (Zhang Yu Xi) is the kind of heroine who makes you sit up and pay attention. Cool, sassy, and unflappable even in the messiest of situations, she isn’t the type to quietly endure being sidelined. When her business partner starts playing favorites with her rival who also happens to be her old schoolmate, Ye Meng doesn’t hesitate to hand in her resignation. But she makes sure their client list gets a little “shake-up.” After all, she reminds us that revenge doesn’t always have to be bitter; sometimes, it’s best served with a shot of spice. What makes Ye Meng so compelling is how unapologetically she lives life on her own terms. At home, while her family tries setting her up with the perfect bachelor, Ye Meng’s checklist is cheeky yet firm: younger, handsome, and willing to take her surname. Her self-assurance is as refreshing as it is unconventional. But behind her breezy exterior lies a deeper, more complicated past. Haunted by her mother’s suicide during her senior year, Ye Meng quietly battles guilt, unable to reconcile the memory of a mother who always said happiness mattered more than grades with the tragedy that followed. It’s this vulnerability beneath her boldness that makes her feel real. She’s layered, flawed, and relatable. Enter Li Jin Yu, the younger man-next-door who checks every box on her playful criteria list. Their push-pull dynamic is instantly magnetic. While she’s intrigued by his mystery and smoldering eyes, he brushes her off, convinced he isn’t good enough. A college dropout, with a dark family background, Jin Yu believes he has nothing to offer. Yet, Ye Meng’s impulsive heart doesn’t wait around. She proposes to him first, determined to love and protect him on her terms. Of course, this romance doesn’t come without twists. Ye Meng stumbles upon her late mother’s ring at a pawn broker. Investigating it, she uncovers a trail of secrets that tie back not only to her mother’s death but also to Jin Yu, who, it turns out, is hiding an identity far more powerful (and connected to her past) than she ever imagined. This is where Ye Meng truly stands apart from your typical female lead. She is outlandish in her decisions and the way she operates. She’s someone who chooses love and life on her own terms and embraces the messiness in her life unapologetically. And she doesn’t collapse under betrayal and heartbreak but shows remarkable poise and maturity. Zhang Yu Xi’s strikingly good looks and well-attired ensembles are a bit distracting at first, but as the show progresses, you come to understand that it’s one aspect of the put-together Ye Meng. She gives a nuanced performance as the bold and beautiful Ye Meng. Mysterious and brooding Bi Wen Jun Li Jin Yu (Bi Wen Jun) is one of those characters who quietly creeps into your heart. Reserved and withdrawn, he keeps to himself, working odd jobs around town or singing at his friend’s bar. He also finds solace in the company of his pet dog. Despite being immensely popular with women, he remains detached. Love is the last thing on his mind. And it’s not hard to see why. Jin Yu’s childhood is marked by relentless trauma. His mother, a powerful businesswoman, subjected him to years of physical and emotional abuse, branding him as a “mentally disturbed” child. The only source of affection in his life was his stepfather, whose death his mother cruelly blamed on him. It’s no wonder Jin Yu grew up believing he was unworthy of love, carrying scars that run deep beneath his quiet exterior. Enter Ye Meng, a woman who is everything he is not. Confident, sassy, and unapologetically forward, she doesn’t hide her interest in him. While Jin Yu repeatedly resists her advances, it’s clear that his hesitation comes from fear, not disinterest. All his life he’s been told he’s not enough, so when someone like Ye Meng pursues him with such persistence, he can’t help but question whether it’s too good to be true. Yet, it’s Ye Meng’s persistence and warmth that finally get through to him. Their relationship isn’t just about romance—it’s about healing. She becomes the first person to make him smile again, even teasing him for his inexperience and passivity in the cutest ways. But just as he starts to let his guard down, his past resurfaces in the most unexpected way: Ye Meng’s quest to uncover her mother’s fate entwines with his own history, pulling his abusive mother into the picture. Jin Yu’s instinct is to shoulder the burden alone and to protect Ye Meng by keeping her in the dark. But love, as he painfully learns, is also about trust. For the first time, he must allow someone else to see his brokenness and share his burden. Bi Wen Jun brings a quiet intensity to the role, balancing Jin Yu’s fragility with moments of strength. You can’t help but ache for a man who was never loved by the one person meant to nurture him, and yet he finds hope in the way Ye Meng becomes his anchor and the family he has never had. Gaslighting, secrets, and betrayal Jin Yu has always lived under the shadow of his mother, Li Ling Bai, a woman who has perfected the art of gaslighting. From stripping him of his shares in the family company to cutting him off from her and her younger son (from her second marriage), she ensured that Jin Yu never found a way back into her world. But when Jin Yu begins helping Ye Meng uncover the truth behind her mother’s death, he unknowingly opens a Pandora’s box of secrets. He is shocked to find out that his own mother is tied to the very man Ye Meng is investigating. Armed with proof, Jin Yu reclaims his shares and his rightful place in the company, yet he struggles to reveal the full extent of Li Ling Bai’s manipulations to Ye Meng. His silence, though born out of a desire to protect her, threatens their marriage. The stakes rise higher when Li Ling Bai tries to have Jin Yu arrested on false charges, only for Ye Meng to come to his rescue. In doing so, she not only clears his name but also shows that her son, whom she cruelly labels as “mentally unstable,” is someone who is deeply loved and supported. Just when the couple thinks they’ve weathered the storm, another devastating truth surfaces: Jin Yu’s mother and Ye Meng’s mother were once childhood friends who grew up in the same orphanage. It was Li Ling Bai who betrayed her best friend, dragging her into a land scam and embezzlement scandal that ultimately led to her tragic death. For both Jin Yu and Ye Meng, this revelation could have been the end of their relationship, but instead, it solidifies their resolve. They finally see they both have been pawns in Li Ling Bai’s cruel game. “Deep Affectionate Eyes” does take its sweet time getting to this point. Some moments feel stretched and a few scenarios veer into OTT territory. But once the truth starts unraveling, it’s impossible to look away. What makes it even more compelling is the unapologetic way the show portrays Li Ling Bai: she’s not redeemed, softened, or explained away. She remains the cold, calculating villainess through and through. And through it all, Jin Yu and Ye Meng stand as foils to their mothers’ choices. Shaped by very different upbringings, they still find strength in each other. Their chemistry is electric, and those passionate kisses deserve a mention. They are beautifully shot, well-lit, and enough to raise the temperature every single time. For viewers who love a heady mix of family betrayal, simmering romance, and a battle against generational scars, this drama gives you plenty to chew on. It’s messy, it’s dramatic, and it’s a little outrageous, but it works! Hey Soompiers, have you watched “Deep Affectionate Eyes”? Let us know in the comments below!
