Watch: Yoon Jong Hun Gets Entangled With Uhm Hyun Kyung Again Despite His Determination Not To In “Our Happy Days”

Watch: Yoon Jong Hun Gets Entangled With Uhm Hyun Kyung Again Despite His Determination Not To In “Our Happy Days”

KBS1’s new weekday drama “Our Happy Days” has shared its first teaser! “Our Happy Days” is a warm family series filled with stories from multiple generations, centering on a tense clash between the world’s most perfect man and an endearingly clumsy woman—each striving to become the main character of their own life. Yoon Jong Hun plays Go Gyeol, a perfect man and model of competence, while Uhm Hyun Kyung portrays Jo Eun Ae, a clumsy woman full of cheerful energy. The two, who became entangled in a bad fate through an unexpected encounter, are brought back together with the help of Jo Eun Ae’s AI friend Joy. They navigate hectic days, each working hard to reach their own goals. The newly released teaser highlights the stark contrast between Go Gyeol and Jo Eun Ae. The teaser begins with passionate AI developer Jo Eun Ae proudly showing off a program she developed. However, she is soon seen being dragged away by building security guards, sparking curiosity. Subsequent scenes hint at the thorny path ahead for Jo Eun Ae. In one, she is shown fleeing after taking part in a protest, while in another, she appears to be confined behind bars. Her desperate cry, “Is my life really going to crash like this?” heightens curiosity about the turbulent future she will face. The teaser then introduces Go Gyeol. In one scene, he emphasizes that he is the team leader of the Strategic Planning Division at Gangsu Construction. In another, viewers see his principled nature as he criticizes Jo Eun Ae, asking, “Do you really think charging in recklessly like this will solve anything?” His cryptic remark, “I’m going back to where I belong,” hints at a hidden backstory, heightening the tension. The teaser also highlights the unusual chemistry between Go Gyeol and Jo Eun Ae. In one scene, an irritated Go Gyeol is heard saying, “Who was it that came out of nowhere and hit me in the face and made my nose bleed?” Despite his firm declaration never to get entangled with her again, the teaser ends with Go Gyeol catching a falling Jo Eun Ae in a waltz-like embrace. “Our Happy Days” is scheduled to premiere on March 30 at 8:30 p.m. KST.

Heo Sung Tae Makes Special Appearance As Yoo Yeon Seok’s First Ghost Client In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”

Heo Sung Tae Makes Special Appearance As Yoo Yeon Seok’s First Ghost Client In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”

SBS’s upcoming drama “Phantom Lawyer” has unveiled new stills of Heo Sung Tae in a special appearance! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law. The drama tells the stories of deceased individuals who suffered unjust fates. Crossing the lines between law and reality, each special case resolves lingering grudges in the living world, creating a distinct episode in every installment. Among them, actor Heo Sung Tae makes a special appearance in the first episode. He plays Lee Kang Poong, the first client lawyer Shin I Rang has seen since becoming possessed. The reasons he carries grudges and why he remains in the living world are still a mystery. In a newly released still, Lee Kang Poong’s pale, bloodless face stands out. The scene sparks curiosity about what kind of case will arise from the unusual encounter between the possessed lawyer Shin I Rang and the ghostly client with lingering grudges. Behind the scenes, a completely different vibe is captured. Yoo Yeon Seok and Heo Sung Tae stand side by side, flashing peace signs and smiling brightly, adding to the cheerful energy on set. The production team said, “Lee Kang Poong is especially meaningful as the first client to open the world of ‘Phantom Lawyer.’ He is the character who first introduces the unique concept of the ‘grievance-settling defense,’ which resolves the lingering grudges of deceased individuals with unjust fates.” They added, “We are grateful to actor Heo Sung Tae for willingly taking on this important role. His appearance will properly signal the start of the grievance-settling adventure. Please look forward to his powerful performance in the first broadcast, just four days away.”

Jung Eun Chae Prepares To Marry Yeon Woo Jin Amid Her Fight Against Her Corrupt Mother In “Honour”

Jung Eun Chae Prepares To Marry Yeon Woo Jin Amid Her Fight Against Her Corrupt Mother In “Honour”

“Honour” has unveiled new stills of Jung Eun Chae in a wedding dress! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that follows three lawyers as they confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as the founding partners of law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers In the previous episode, Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae) finally learned the real reason Baek Tae Joo (Yeon Woo Jin) had become engaged to her. He had created the secret prostitution app “Connect In” as part of a plan to expose and destroy a powerful cartel of corrupt elites. To execute his scheme, he placed Kang Shin Jae and the lawyers of L&J onto the chessboard he had carefully designed, using them whenever he needed to amplify issues and attract public attention. Most crucially, Kang Shin Jae turned out to be the daughter of Sung Tae Im (Kim Mi Sook)—the head of the powerful legacy code organization “Haeil,” which Baek Tae Joo aimed to bring down. Provoked by his words that she would understand why Haeil had to disappear if she opened her mother’s safe, Kang Shin Jae opened what felt like Pandora’s box. Inside, she discovered the long-missing list of sexual bribery clients that had vanished from the prosecution’s office 20 years earlier, leaving her in shock. Yet even in front of her daughter, Sung Tae Im showed no sign of hesitation and remained brazenly confident. Asking, “Did you enjoy being righteous?” she reminded Kang Shin Jae of the harsh truth that the ground she stood on in the name of justice was built upon Haeil—a system that had thrived by protecting power and money while concealing corruption. Kang Shin Jae realized that while she believed she had chosen a different path from her mother, she had in fact been fighting only battles she could win under the wings her mother had given her, mistakenly believing she was changing the world. She also came to understand that Sung Tae Im would deny the existence of “Connect In” to the end and keep protecting her clients, even if it meant leaving Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young) imprisoned. Determined to act, Kang Shin Jae used a video given to her by Baek Tae Joo to prove her friend had acted in self-defense—choosing a path that meant she would walk into hell alongside him. Newly released stills show Kang Shin Jae wearing a wedding dress as she prepares for her marriage to Baek Tae Joo. Preview clips and trailers have also revealed that she holds a USB drive Baek Tae Joo gave her—described as “the detonator that will destroy Haeil, the root of this cartel”—and plans to expose the organization. Meanwhile, her longtime friend Yoon Ra Young, who has known her for 20 years, questions her suspicious actions, saying, “This isn’t like Shin Jae.” This raises curiosity about whether Kang Shin Jae has truly joined forces with the architect of “Connect In” to follow Baek Tae Joo’s plan to destroy Haeil, or whether her actions are part of a much larger scheme to overturn everything. However, it remains uncertain whether Kang Shin Jae’s whistleblowing will immediately bring Haeil to justice. Sung Tae Im is a formidable villain who has covered up countless scandals while conditioning the public to believe that “even if you are angry, the world will never change.” Known as an iron-willed woman who has never failed to achieve what she wants, she stands as a towering force of corruption. Although the mother and daughter have long clashed while looking in different directions, Kang Shin Jae has now made the drastic choice to sever even their blood ties. Whether her whistleblowing will bring down the powerful Haeil and truly change the world—and what Kang Shin Jae’s true intentions are—remains a major question. Episode 11 of “Honour” airs on March 9 at 10 p.m. KST.

Jung Eun Chae Delivers Shocking Announcement To Lee Na Young And Lee Chung Ah In “Honour”

Jung Eun Chae Delivers Shocking Announcement To Lee Na Young And Lee Chung Ah In “Honour”

“Honour” has shared a new glimpse of its next episode! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that follows three lawyers as they confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as the founding partners of law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers In the previous episode, Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae) teamed up with Baek Tae Joo (Yeon Woo Jin), who was revealed to be the designer of the Connect In app, to prove self-defense for her friend Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young), who had been arrested on suspicion of murdering Prosecutor Park Je Yeol (Seo Hyun Woo). Baek Tae Joo provided a video to Kang Shin Jae showing the full incident. In the footage, Park Je Yeol fired a threatening shot, assaulted three lawyers, and Yoon Ra Young attempted to perform CPR at the scene. Kang Shin Jae submitted the video as evidence, which proved Yoon Ra Young’s claim of self-defense, and she is expected to be released. The next step is for Yoon Ra Young and the three L&J lawyers to hold Connect In users accountable in court. The newly released stills show the three at Yoon Ra Young’s home with serious facial expressions despite her release. It appears Kang Shin Jae, who had joined Baek Tae Joo who said, “If you want to save Lawyer Yoon, be willing to come to hell,” ultimately chose to part ways first, making a decision that goes against her friends’ convictions. For Yoon Ra Young and Hwang Hyun Jin (Lee Chung Ah), who do not know that Baek Tae Joo is the designer of Connect In or that Kang Shin Jae made a deal with him, the news comes as a shocking blow. With Haeil Law Firm representing the Connect In perpetrators, it is clear that L&J can no longer operate under its leadership. Confronted with Kang Shin Jae’s unexpected decision, Yoon Ra Young voices her mix of anger and sorrow, saying, “I never imagined I would lose you like this.” The production team remarked, “In the March 9 broadcast, Kang Shin Jae makes an irreversible deal with Baek Tae Joo and says goodbye to Yoon Ra Young and Hwang Hyun Jin. Please watch until the very end to see whether her decision will mark the end of the trio’s friendship that has lasted more than 20 years.” Episode 11 of “Honour” airs on March 9 at 10 p.m. KST.

4 Emotional Turns In Episodes 9-10 Of “Our Universe” That Hit Harder Than Expected

4 Emotional Turns In Episodes 9-10 Of “Our Universe” That Hit Harder Than Expected

“Our Universe” is already nearing its final chapter, and the latest episodes came on unexpectedly heavy in the feelings department. Granted, it’s all part of the process of being a young adult and tackling the ups and downs of unplanned parenthood. For in-laws and co-parents Tae Hyung (Bae In Hyuk) and Hyun Jin (Roh Jeong Eui), it’s been a bittersweet road to raising their nephew Woo Joo (Park Yu Ho), and last week, so many problems and unresolved feelings finally catch up to them. Let’s just say the episodes were the kind that involve crying half the time and screaming into your pillow the other half. Warning: episodes 9-10 spoilers ahead (and a brief mention of physical abuse). 1. The real motives of Tae Hyung’s father are revealed Tae Hyung’s early doubts and the growing suspicion around his father turn out to be right, and it’s a devastating blow. A couple of episodes back, when Tae Hyung’s father showed up unannounced in their apartment, he told the police he was able to get in because the door was already unlocked. He claimed he saw the neighborhood’s perpetrator, who was the one who had tried breaking in. But that was all a lie. It was actually him who was breaking in. When he sneaks in again, Hyun Jin catches him in the act of trying to steal a personal seal with the plan of taking his son’s death insurance money. He shamelessly admits to Hyun Jin that he was the one posing as a guardian while talking to the insurance worker and that he thinks he deserves at least part of the insurance payout. Hyun Jin immediately tells him he needs to leave, but things get physical. Fortunately, that’s right when Tae Hyung walks through the door and shields Hyun Jin. Tae Hyung’s father was thankfully caught early on before he could do more damage, but it still deeply hurt Tae Hyung, who was just beginning to think his father had changed. 2. Tae Hyung learns the truth about his childhood Maybe the most unexpected and heartbreaking reveal in this week’s episodes was the story behind Tae Hyung’s abandonment as a kid. Tae Hyung has lived thinking he was abandoned by his older brother and was never loved, but he only knew half the story. When Tae Hyung’s father is taken to the police station following the break-in and assault incident, Tae Hyung meets a senior officer who worked with his brother. The officer asks to talk with Tae Hyung, and he finally learns the truth about his brother. The truth is that his older brother Woo Jin (Ha Jun) was the one who put his father behind bars for fraud. He worked tirelessly to try to get him in for as many years as possible, and it was a long fight that never really ended for Woo Jin. It turns out Woo Jin didn’t abandon Tae Hyung, but he left him at a children’s home for safety. He had to get him away from their father, who became obsessed with money after losing his business and eventually became violent at home. While Tae Hyung was in the children’s home alone, his older brother kept trying to report his father for physical abuse, but it would never work out. Woo Jin would routinely have to return home to his dad and get hurt all over again. It was because of their father that Woo Jin became a police officer in the first place. This reveal makes Woo Jin’s untimely passing in episode 1 carry way more weight than it did before. 3. Tae Hyung leaves the house (and his family) With everything going on, Tae Hyung comes to the conclusion that he isn’t capable of loving others. He reverts back to his old ways of wanting to be on his own and thinking he isn’t suited for being a part of a family, let alone responsible for a child. His father gave him hope of reconnection, only to stab him in the back. That, along with learning the truth about his late older brother’s childhood, understandably makes Tae Hyung question everything. With his remodeled apartment already ready, he decides it’s time to go. Hyun Jin tries to convince him to stay and figure things out together, like they always have, but it doesn’t work. As if the episode couldn’t get any more devastating, Tae Hyung walks out the door, and Hyun Jin is in tears. 4. Hyun Jin faces her feelings Nothing sets up an I-like-you confession quite like a moment of miscommunication, an impending flight, and a dramatic running sequence. It’s when Hyun Jin is out on a date with Yoon Seong (Park Seo Ham) that she gets a call from a gossip-loving coworker. Right before, he overhears Tae Hyung on the phone talking about someone going to the U.S., and he assumes Tae Hyung is the one going. He shares this with Hyun Jin, and she’s devastated. This news prompts her to rush to the airport, leaving a dejected Yoon Seong behind in the rain. But Hyun Jin’s coworker didn’t exactly get the story right. It’s actually Tae Hyung’s boss Amy Choo’s (Jin Seo Yeon) ex-husband who is leaving for the U.S. after finalizing their divorce once and for all. But even Tae Hyung can tell that there are clearly unresolved feelings between the two, so he takes Amy Choo to the airport to fix what needs fixing before it’s too late. Meanwhile, Hyun Jin is running through the airport trying to find Tae Hyung, who she thinks is the one leaving. When she finds him standing next to a stack of suitcases, she finally confesses her feelings in a final plea to make him come back home. The feelings are, as predicted, mutual, and thank goodness the two are finally on the same page. It was the perfect happy and slightly silly situation to end two emotionally heavy episodes with.
