Yoon Kye Sang And Jung Sun Won’s Rivalry Explodes Into Chaotic Flour-Covered Scuffle In “The Winning Try”

Yoon Kye Sang and Jung Sun Won are covered head to toe in flour in “The Winning Try”! “The Winning Try” is a new drama starring Yoon Kye Sang as Joo Ga Ram, a former rugby star who falls from grace due to a doping scandal. After he returns to his alma mater as the new coach of its rugby team, which is ranked last in the country, he leads the underdog squad on a quest to win the National Sports Festival. Spoilers Rugby coach Joo Ga Ram and aerobics coach Bang Heung Nam (Jung Sun Won) were once rugby teammates at Hanyang Physical Education High School, but now stand as bitter rivals. Following Vice Principal Sung Jong Man’s (Kim Min Sang) orders, Heung Nam has been monitoring Ga Ram and his team. In the previous episode, he even flashed Ga Ram a suspicious smile, fueling tension between the two. The newly released stills show Ga Ram seizing Heung Nam by the collar with a fiery glare. Though Ga Ram has always laughed off Heung Nam’s provocations in the past, his sudden shift in expression and intense grip heighten the suspense. But the tension quickly flips into comedy in the next stills: Ga Ram and Heung Nam are seen rolling on the ground in a childish scuffle, covered head to toe in flour as if reliving their high school days. The scene gets even funnier when the two freeze mid-fight, staring in the same direction with hilariously guilty expressions as though they’ve just been caught. How did Ga Ram and Heung Nam’s confrontation spiral into this flour-filled chaos? And will Heung Nam finally let go of his old grudges and mend his friendship with Ga Ram? The next episode of “The Winning Try” airs on August 22 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

Lee Min Ji, Park Ye Ni, Oh Woo Ri, And Jung Bo Min Are Kim Da Mi And Shin Ye Eun's Roommates And Co-Workers In "A Hundred Memories"

JTBC’s upcoming drama “A Hundred Memories” has unveiled new stills of its supporting cast! Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and Seo Jong Hee (Shin Ye Eun), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil (Heo Nam Jun). The drama’s production team has now introduced four bus attendants who, as Young Rye and Jong Hee’s roommates and colleagues, live in a dormitory and spend every hour of the day together with them. Kwon Hae Ja (Lee Min Ji), Choi Jung Boon (Park Ye Ni), Cha Ok Hee (Oh Woo Ri), and Lim Ho Sook (Jung Bo Min) each have distinct personalities and traits that promise both laughter and relatability. Dorm leader Hae Ja is, quite literally, the “dorm dictator.” She changes the rules depending on her mood, and she is jealous and wary of the pretty newcomer Jong Hee. Jung Boon, who curses constantly, is actually a warm-hearted “swearing pacifist.” She takes care of everything from her colleagues’ hair to their makeup, serving as a motherly presence in the dorm. Ok Hee is a quick-witted “yes-woman” who senses Hae Ja’s moods before anyone else and adjusts accordingly. Ho Sook, the youngest, may appear clumsy, but she often delivers unexpected surprises. Together, the four will bring youthful energy to the drama by depicting the authentic dormitory life of 1980s youth. The production team commented, “Whenever the bus attendants’ banter appears, the atmosphere of the drama shifts completely. The actors’ vivid performances capture the essence of 1980s youth, and it will truly stir memories.” “A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.

Song Joong Ki And His First Love Chun Woo Hee Unexpectedly Run Into Each Other As Adults In "My Youth"

JTBC’s upcoming drama “My Youth” has shared a sneak peek of Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee’s past and present! “My Youth” is a romance drama starring Song Joong Ki as Sunwoo Hae, a man who begins living an ordinary life later than most people, and Chun Woo Hee as Sung Je Yeon, a woman who must shatter the peace of her first love for her own success. Newly released stills from the upcoming drama capture the young Sunwoo Hae (Nam Da Reum) and Sung Je Yeon (Jeon So Young) in their teenage years, back when they were each other’s first love. For both Sunwoo Hae, a child star who had to give up his youth to make a living, and Sung Je Yeon, who was stuck living a strictly managed life with no time to dream of straying off course, their first love was a spark of light in their otherwise dreary lives. One still shows the young students sitting side by side in their uniforms at school, while another captures Sunwoo Hae shyly confessing his feelings to Sung Je Yeon by the sea. As he hands her a bouquet of flowers, Sung Je Yeon smiles so brightly that it’s clear she returns his affections. However, when Sunwoo Hae and Sung Je Yeon reunite as adults, the atmosphere is very different. When they unexpectedly run into one another, both appear more startled than happy to see their first love again. Later, as they look into each other’s eyes at night, there is a wistfulness to their gazes that suggest their long-forgotten memories of the past have begun to return. Song Joong Ki remarked, “For Sunwoo Hae, Sung Je Yeon is his savior. Sung Je Yeon is the person who dragged Sunwoo Hae out of hiding and made it possible for him to step out into the world.” The actor also spoke enthusiastically about his experience working with his co-star Chun Woo Hee, recalling, “While we were filming, I spent a lot of time talking to Chun Woo Hee. I felt comfortable and reassured because we were able to work while communicating openly and honestly with each other.” Meanwhile, Chun Woo Hee described Sunwoo Hae and Sung Je Yeon’s relationship as a “box of memories.” She explained, “When you open it, you are instantly transported back to that time, which you had forgotten all about.” As for her experience working with Song Joong Ki, Chun Woo Hee shared, “We felt comfortable around each other from the very beginning. We had a lot of conversations about the script and pondered together as we filmed the drama. We were very considerate of one another, and the atmosphere on set was great.” “My Youth,” which premieres on September 5 at 8:50 p.m. KST, will be available with subtitles on Viki.

Newly released stills from the upcoming drama capture an everyday morning in Kang Eun Soo’s once happy household.

Han Suk Kyu Reveals How He Prepared For His Role In Upcoming Drama "Shin's Project"

Han Suk Kyu has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Shin’s Project”! tvN’s “Shin’s Project” is a new drama starring Han Suk Kyu as Mr. Shin, a former legendary negotiator who now runs a modest chicken restaurant while hiding a mysterious secret. A neighborhood hero who takes it upon himself to mediate conflicts and assist people through seemingly unwinnable situations, Mr. Shin willingly jumps into other people’s conflicts to settle their problems and deliver justice. Explaining why he chose to star in “Shin’s Project,” Han Suk Kyu recalled, “The moment I read the script, it touched my heart. It wasn’t just a story about solving cases; it was also full of human warmth, humor, and realistic emotions.” “The way Mr. Shin solved problems through negotiation was refreshing, and I was also confident that the character’s warmth and weight would be able to reach viewers,” continued the actor. “So I decided to appear [in the drama] without hesitation.” Notably, “Shin’s Project” marks Han Suk Kyu’s third time working with director Shin Kyung Soo, with whom he previously joined forces for the dramas “Tree With Deep Roots” and “Secret Door.” “There are many moments in which we communicate on set just by looking at each other,” said Han Suk Kyu. “Director Shin Kyung Soo meticulously takes the lead on set so that the actors can immerse themselves deeply in their characters.” Describing his first impression of his character, Mr. Shin, Han Suk Kyu remarked, “I felt that he was a truly unusual person. Although he seems like an ordinary chicken restaurant owner on the outside, there’s a depth to him that makes him hard to read. Even in a situation where it appears like he’s smiling, he seems like someone who’s hiding a grave backstory. That first impression remained in my memory for a long time.” Because Mr. Shin is a character with a hidden twist, Han Suk Kyu shared that he spent a lot of time pondering his approach to the role. “In order to portray a three-dimensional character who is smooth and wily on the outside but is keen and perceptive on the inside, I adjusted not only my tone of voice and my gaze, but also even the way I moved my hands while frying chicken.” As for the character’s styling, Han Suk Kyu revealed, “When [Mr. Shin] was in comfortable and friendly chicken restaurant owner mode, I wore clothing with soft colors and fabrics, and when he transformed into a negotiator, I opted for a more sleek and polished style. Thanks to that difference, whenever I changed clothes on set, everyone was able to immediately know, ‘Oh, he’s a restaurant owner right now’ or ‘Oh, now he’s a negotiator.’” “Mr. Shin” will premiere on September 15 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
