Song Seung Heon’s Detective Instincts Kick In As He Feels Something Amiss Around Uhm Jung Hwa In “My Troublesome Star”

Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Heon will become unexpectedly entangled once again 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 will star 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 newly released photos capture Bong Cheong Ja and Dokgo Chul’s late-night meeting, not as a superstar and a detective, but now as a traffic accident victim and a traffic cop. Dokgo Chul discovers a familiar business card in Cheong Ja’s wallet, but with all her memories erased, his questions only leave her flustered. His serious gaze, however, suggests that he can’t help but be concerned about her. The instincts from his days as a sharp-witted violent crimes detective seem to kick in, hinting that something unusual is surrounding Cheong Ja. The previous teaser also showed him following clues from Cheong Ja’s accident, raising questions about what suspicions he may have sensed. Meanwhile, Cheong Ja’s chaotic attempts to adjust to reality deliver both humor and pathos. One still shows her sitting dazed in the back of a truck, hinting at yet another whirlwind commotion. Another shows her at a community kitchen, further deepening curiosity about the life hidden in the 25 years she’s lost. As Cheong Ja moves on from denial and begins to confront reality head-on, anticipation builds for the unpredictable challenges awaiting her. The production team shared, “In today’s episode, Cheong Ja finally lets go of denial and begins fighting to reclaim the years she lost. Look forward to Cheong Ja’s struggles and Dokgo Chul’s sharp instincts as a former detective coming into play.” The next episode of “My Troublesome Star” airs on August 19 at 10 p.m. KST.

Kim Go Eun And Park Ji Hyun’s Friendship Faces Trials And Twists Across Four Decades In “You And Everything Else”

“You and Everything Else” has unveiled new character stills that trace the lives of Kim Go Eun and Park Ji Hyun’s characters across the decades. “You and Everything Else” tells the story of two lifelong friends, Eun Jung (Kim Go Eun) and Sang Yeon (Park Ji Hyun), whose relationship is filled with love, admiration, jealousy, and even resentment. Deeply intertwined, their bonds are marked by emotional highs and lows. The stills capture Eun Jung and Sang Yeon at every stage of life—from their first encounter as teenagers, through their twenties and thirties, and into their forties. The keyword for their teenage years is an “innocent first meeting.” The stills highlight Eun Jung and Sang Yeon’s contrasting personalities during their school days. Young Eun Jung (played by Kim Bo Min, who recently changed her stage name to Do Yeong Seo) is bright and sociable, well-liked by her classmates. Sang Yeon (Park Seo Kyung), on the other hand, struggles to connect with peers. Their differing family backgrounds further shape their bond: Eun Jung grows up in a modest household, while Sang Yeon is raised in comfort and privilege. Between them arises a delicate mix of admiration, envy, and unspoken emotions that mark the beginning of their friendship. The keyword for their twenties is a “coincidental first reunion.” Eun Jung (Kim Go Eun) and Sang Yeon (Park Ji Hyun) meet again by chance at a university club. Their bright smiles in the stills suggest a warm reconnection, sparking curiosity about what lies ahead. Eun Jung, intrigued by Sang Yeon’s seemingly changed demeanor, wonders about her old friend, while Sang Yeon acts as though nothing has changed—leaving questions about where their relationship will head next. In their thirties, the keyword shifts to an “uncomfortable second reunion.” Unlike their lively twenties, the stills capture a tense, darker atmosphere, hinting that something unsettling has occurred between them. Eun Jung is unsettled by Sang Yeon, who remains as inscrutable as ever. As the two continue to clash, the drama raises questions about what incidents have marred their friendship and what turning points await them. Finally, the keyword for their forties is an “incomprehensible request.” After years of distance, Sang Yeon approaches Eun Jung once more, this time with a shocking plea: to accompany her to Switzerland for assisted dying, as she has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Uncomfortable and confused at Sang Yeon’s desperate request, viewers are left wondering what choice Eun Jung will ultimately make and where their story will lead. “You and Everything Else” is set to premiere on September 12.

Kim Min Kyu Shares An Awkward Meal With Estranged Mother Oh Na Ra In “Love, Take Two”

“Love, Take Two” has shared new stills ahead of tonight’s episode! “Love, Take Two” is a heartwarming comedy drama about 43-year-old single mother Lee Ji An (Yum Jung Ah) and her 23-year-old daughter Lee Hyo Ri (Choi Yoon Ji). The pair moves to the countryside to start a new chapter in their lives, encountering various people and chaotic situations that teach them profound lessons about life. Spoilers In the previous episode, it was revealed that the mysterious guest Jung Moon Hee (Kim Mi Kyung) was not Ji An’s mother but actually a neighbor living near Ji An and Hyo Ri’s home. Yet, for reasons unknown, she continued acting as if she were Ji An’s mother, forcing Ji An to relive old wounds and painful memories. Meanwhile, Ryu Bo Hyeon (Kim Min Kyu) opened up to Lee Hyo Ri about his own mother for the first time, confessing that after his parents’ divorce when he was ten, he grew up living alone with his father. Though he admired the bond between Hyo Ri and her mother, it was something he both envied and struggled to understand. Just then, his estranged mother Lee Yeo Jeong (Oh Na Ra) suddenly reappeared, stirring curiosity about how her return will change things. The newly released photos show Ji An and Hyo Ri once again at the hospital. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Hyo Ri had been enduring her illness bravely—but she suddenly collapses from dizziness, shocking Ji An. The “suspicious neighbor” Jung Moon Hee also appears at the hospital, further raising questions. Did she follow Ji An all the way from their house, and what truth lies behind her mistaken belief that Ji An is her daughter? Other stills capture Lee Yeo Jeong stepping into the home of Ryu Jeong Seok (Park Hae Joon) and Ryu Bo Hyeon. Unlike her bright smile at reuniting with her ex-husband and son, her sudden presence casts an awkward and uneasy atmosphere over the household. Why did Yeo Jeong abruptly return from Germany and show up in Cheonghae? The production team shared, “In today’s episode, Jung Moon Hee’s true identity and backstory will be revealed, while Lee Yeo Jeong’s return will stir up the entire village of Cheonghae. With the arrival of new characters, the storyline will grow even more engaging.” The next episode of “Love, Take Two” airs on August 19 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

5 Times Episodes 7-8 Of "My Girlfriend Is The Man!" Made Us Root For Yoo Jung Hoo & Chuu

Episodes 7 and 8 of “My Girlfriend Is the Man!” delivered plenty of heart-fluttering moments, laugh-out-loud antics, and unexpected developments that had viewers shipping Ji Hoon (Yoo Jung Hoo) and Min Joo (Chuu) even more. While the drama hasn’t explicitly leaned into shifting romantic dynamics, fans can’t help but hope for Ji Hoon to end up with Min Joo. From moving day mishaps to late-night encounters, here are five standout Ji Hoon and Min Joo scenes that had everyone buzzing. Warning: spoilers ahead! Ji Hoon helping Min Joo move in The episode opens on a lighthearted note as Yoon Jae (ASTRO’s Yoon San Ha), still reeling from hurting Ji Hoon in the previous episode, tries to redeem himself with some borrowed charm. Inspired by his father, who woos his mother with a teddy bear balloon and a headband dance, Yoon Jae attempts to recreate the moment. But his plans are quickly interrupted when Min Joo arrives, boxes in tow, announcing that she is moving into the very same building as Ji Hoon. Naturally, she calls on her dependable Yoon Jae oppa to help with the heavy lifting, but things don’t go as planned. Yoon Jae struggles to keep up as Ji Hoon swoops in to do the heavy work. From effortlessly carrying a table with one hand to dusting shelves neither Min Joo nor Yoon Jae can reach, Ji Hoon unintentionally steals the spotlight, even though all she wanted was to prevent Yoon Jae and Min Joo from staying too close. Despite Min Joo’s playful nagging, the whole sequence feels straight out of a rom-com montage, with Ji Hoon showing off her strength in the most unsuspecting way. Viewers couldn’t help but point out how much it resembled someone trying to impress a crush. Ji Hoon being momentarily mesmerized Once the dust settles after the move, Min Joo takes a moment to rehydrate. And here is where the show slips in a scene fans can’t stop dissecting. With Chuu’s natural charm radiating through her role as Min Joo, her simple act of drinking water turns into a moment where both Yoon Jae and Ji Hoon pause to admire her. The ambiguity is delightful. Are both main leads genuinely taken aback by her beauty, or is Ji Hoon simply stunned at Min Joo’s boldness? For shippers, the answer is obvious. For casual viewers, it adds another layer of tension between the three. The camera doesn’t resolve the question. Instead, it lingers just enough to let the audience choose their interpretation. Under the spotlight at the Hanok Village Autumn Festival If the earlier moments were subtle teases, the Hanok Village Autumn Festival is where Ji Hoon and Min Joo’s dynamic truly steps into the spotlight. Hours before the festival, Min Joo stumbles upon a discarded job poster tossed out by Ji Hoon. Later, she calls him to the event and surprises him with a part-time opportunity. When Ji Hoon asks why she didn’t call Yoon Jae instead, Min Joo cheekily responds that they needed someone “more chiseled” and that unlike Ji Hoon, Yoon Jae is “a soft white tofu.” While the scene is wrapped in humor, fans couldn’t ignore the underlying care. Did Min Joo really only call him because she thought Ji Hoon fit the job perfectly, or was it her way of quietly supporting him after noticing he was looking for a part-time job? The drama doesn’t spell it out, but the implication is enough to make the Ji Hoon and Min Joo ship feel less like a fantasy and more like a possibility. Ji Hoon to the rescue Earlier in the series, Ji Hoon tried to avenge Yu Ri, a moment that made fans ship the best friend duo, and this week the same thing happened with Min Joo and Ji Hoon. Min Joo’s junior, who initially seemed harmless, crosses the line from crush to stalker. After lying about a group project to get Min Joo alone, he escalates his obsession by following her to her new residence and even attempting to abduct her when she rejects his advances. Cue Ji Hoon’s timely arrival. Armed with nothing but a bubble wand, she manages to fend off the stalker and protect Min Joo, giving fans the satisfying hero moment they had been waiting for. The parallels weren’t lost on viewers, as fans pointed out the irony. Min Joo once crossed boundaries herself when pursuing Yoon Jae, even dressing up as Ji Eun to get close to him. This confrontation may just be the mirror she needs to reflect on her past mistakes. A near romantic moment The climax of the episode, and perhaps the most talked-about scene, comes when Ji Hoon falls ill with a fever. Min Joo finds her sitting weakly on the stairs and brings her inside to rest. As Ji Hoon drifts in and out of sleep, she clings to Min Joo’s hand and begins to cry, vulnerable in a way rarely seen from her. Min Joo, torn between leaving and comforting her, eventually settles beside Ji Hoon, holding her hand until she herself falls asleep. If this were any other K-drama, the moment would practically scream romance. Two characters, exhausted yet tender, falling asleep in each other’s arms is the textbook “realization of love” scene. While the series will most likely end with Ji Hoon turning back into her old self and reuniting with Yoon Jae, the framing, the softness, and the unspoken intimacy left fans longing for an alternate ending. While episodes 7 and 8 highlighted Min Joo and Ji Hoon’s evolving relationship, another standout moment came when Ji Hoon was encouraged to enter a writing competition. With this push, she may finally rediscover her lost passion and channel it toward finding stability in her otherwise unsettled life. Hey Soompiers! What did you think of last week’s episodes?
