Watch: Rowoon, Shin Ye Eun, And Park Seo Ham Fight For Justice In A Corrupt Era In “The Murky Stream” Teaser

Disney+’s upcoming series “The Murky Stream” has announced its release date along with striking new posters and a teaser! Set in a lawless Joseon era where the once-clear Gyeong River has turned into a murky stream, “The Murky Stream” follows the turbulent fates of Si Yool (Rowoon), who hides his past and becomes a rogue, the wise and righteous Choi Eun (Shin Ye Eun), and Jeong Cheon (Park Seo Ham), who dreams of becoming an incorruptible official. The posters feature dramatic ink splatters representing both the rough currents of the Gyeong River (which flowed through the capital during the Joseon era, around the area of today’s Han River) and the corruption of those in power that have darkened the once-clear waters. At the center, the three determined youths stand resolutely, while the phrase “It’s your fault. You were born into a corrupt world” sparks curiosity about how they will carve out their destinies in such a harsh era. Notably, the poster’s logo was created by Chong Tae Chun, a renowned Korean folk singer and singer-songwriter, adding another layer of interest. The bold brushstrokes of the title hint at a story full of twists and unpredictable turns. The teaser plunges viewers into a chaotic Joseon, tilted and oppressed by the powerful, and follows the three youths as they pursue their own sense of justice. It opens with Si Yool delivering a chilling line: “Living is like a ferocious dream. There will be a price to pay.” The calm of the Gyeong River is shattered by the shadow of a looming invasion, accompanied by Jeong Cheon’s urgent warning: “Joseon is a land in decline. Everywhere reeks of rot.” Tension escalates as Choi Eun boldly cries: “This is outrageous!” She is met by the oppressors’ chilling retort: “Nothing is impossible for the powerful.” Undeterred, the three youths ready themselves for battle, sharpening their blades and declaring: “Let’s fight. In this weary world, dying would be a blessing.” “The Murky Stream” will premiere with three episodes on September 26, followed by two new episodes weekly, for a total of nine episodes.

Watch: Han Suk Kyu’s True Identity Remains A Mystery As Bae Hyeon Seong Probes In “Shin’s Project” Teaser

tvN’s upcoming drama “Shin’s Project” has unveiled a new teaser! “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. The newly released teaser opens with the humble view of Mr. Shin’s alleyway chicken restaurant. Amid the laid-back atmosphere, he continues frying chicken despite frantic calls from his employee Jo Philip (Bae Hyeon Seong), casually replying, “Why, I’m busy,” as he stays focused on his craft. Over his skilled hands, the words “The Chicken Master” appear on screen, hinting at his exceptional abilities. Other scenes reveal a very different side of Mr. Shin. When rookie lawyer Jo Philip points out, “You just violated the road traffic law,” Shin brushes it off with ease, dramatically tears up an important-looking document, and playfully gestures as if telling someone to zip their lips. His free-spirited approach to rules has earned him another nickname: “The Master of Shortcuts.” Just when his unpredictable actions raise more questions, Mr. Shin switches into “Master Negotiator” mode. Calls for his help echo from all directions, and he expertly resolves a tense conflict, impressing everyone around him. After closing the deal, he cheerfully announces, “Negotiation complete!” and punctuates the moment with a playful wink. Watching it all unfold, Jo Philip can no longer hold back his curiosity. “I’m really curious… what exactly is it that you do?” he asks. Calmly, Shin replies, “Me? I’m Mr. Shin,” leaving a cryptic impression that deepens the mystery surrounding him even further. Watch the teaser below: “Shin’s Project” is set to premiere on September 15 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

Song Seung Heon Shows Up In Time To Help Uhm Jung Hwa Amid Chaos In “My Troublesome Star”

Song Seung Heon comes in time to rescue Uhm Jung Hwa in tonight’s episode of “My Troublesome Star”! “My Troublesome Star” is a romantic comedy about Korea’s biggest star Im Se Ra (Jang Da Ah), who mysteriously vanishes and wakes up one day as Bong Cheong Ja (Uhm Jung Hwa), an ordinary middle-aged woman. Song Seung Heon stars as Dokgo Chul, a former detective who helps Bong Cheong Ja as she struggles to navigate life after losing 25 years in the blink of an eye. Spoilers The previous episode showed Bong Cheong Ja struggling to adjust to reality after losing 25 years of her life. She came to accept that she was no longer Im Se Ra, the “nation’s goddess” adored by all, but an ordinary, middle-aged woman unknown to anyone. The chaotic reunion between the amnesiac Bong Cheong Ja and Dokgo Chul, now a demoted police officer, also raised anticipation for what comes next. In particular, Dokgo Chul’s suspicion about Bong Cheong Ja’s traffic accident added intrigue to the mystery of the years she lost. The newly released stills capture Bong Cheong Ja at the center of a gosiwon (Korean accommodation) commotion. Surrounded and questioned by the residents, her flustered expression hints that something serious has happened. Caught not in cheers or affectionate looks but in suspicious stares, she faces a situation she has never encountered before, and her reddened eyes reveal her sadness. In the following still, Dokgo Chul’s commanding presence stands out. Appearing like a black knight once again at the worst moment of Bong Cheong Ja’s life, his arrival raises questions about whether he can resolve the crisis. The next still captures Bong Cheong Ja, who looks as if she’s entranced and drawn to something. Go Hee Young (Lee El) won the Cannes Best Actress award, and all eyes are on how Bong Cheong Ja will react to the news that Go Hee Young achieved the dream she once aspired to. The complex emotions in Bong Cheong Ja’s wistful and sorrowful gaze further heighten anticipation for her comeback as she strives to reclaim the position she lost. The production team shared, “In today’s episode, Bong Cheong Ja faces a decisive moment as she begins her comeback. Look forward to the exciting changes in her relationship with Dokgo Chul, and the turning point that opens a new chapter in her dream.” The next episode of “My Troublesome Star” airs on August 25 at 10 p.m. KST.

Kim Da Mi Talks About Her Character In "A Hundred Memories," Why She Chose The Drama, And More

Kim Da Mi has shared her thoughts on her “A Hundred Memories” character! 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). Kim Da Mi described her character Young Rye as “someone with a pure, clear soul, a warm heart, and so much love.” She continued, “That’s why she knows how to give everything for her friends and family. I find that really cool.” Kim Da Mi recalled how she felt when she first encountered “A Hundred Memories.” She said, “When I read the script, it felt like each and every character was alive. I wanted to live in that world, too.” She added, “The more I read, the more I fell in love with Young Rye for her purity. That’s why I decided to take on the challenge.” Kim Da Mi added that the 1980s—an era she’d never lived through—and the job of a bus conductor also felt special to her. She shared, “It seemed like a time that, in some ways, was freer than today and in other ways wasn’t; but when it came to love, everyone was passionate and full of dreams.” Kim Da Mi said with a smile, “I was happy just to have experienced that era, and by indirectly stepping into this line of work, I realized how demanding the job really was. I came away with deep respect for the bus conductors of those days.” “A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
