Jung Hye Sung And Ju Yeon Woo Spark New Romantic Dynamic As Han Ji Min’s Close Friends In “The Practical Guide To Love”
JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Practical Guide to Love” has unveiled new stills of Jung Hye Sung and Ju Yeon Woo in character! “The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey towards discovering what true love really means. In the drama, Jung Hye Sung takes on the role of Jung Hyun Min, while Ju Yeon Woo plays Im Seung Jun. Alongside Lee Ui Yeong’s journey as she shifts her outlook to actively pursue love—and her blind-date encounters with Song Tae Seop (Park Sung Hoon) and Shin Ji Su (Lee Ki Taek)—the drama also hints at the budding dynamic between Jung Hyun Min and Im Seung Jun, positioning them as another potential couple set to capture viewers’ hearts. Jung Hyun Min is an employee in the purchasing team at The Hills Hotel and a close junior colleague to Lee Ui Yeong. With an open-minded outlook, a straightforward personality, and excellent adaptability, she exudes unexpected maturity despite her junior position. Cool-headed about romance, she does not view dating as the center of her life, prioritizing pace over depth and freedom over seriousness in her approach to relationships. In contrast, Im Seung Jun is a personal trainer and Lee Ui Yeong’s childhood friend, with whom she shares a firmly platonic best friend relationship, never seeing each other romantically. Despite his tall stature, broad shoulders, and an appearance that seems intimidating at first glance, he has a surprisingly timid side. Rather than acting on impulse, he prefers structure and lives his life according to a carefully planned daily routine.

Netflix’s upcoming drama “Boyfriend on Demand” has unveiled a new poster and a main trailer! Helmed by director Kim Jung Sik of “Work Later, Drink Now” and “Not Others,” “Boyfriend on Demand” is a romantic comedy that follows Seo Mi Rae (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), an overworked webtoon producer who subscribes to a virtual dating simulation service to experience the dates of her dreams. The newly released poster radiates a dreamy atmosphere, as if Mi Rae has stepped into a virtual world. Floating around her are bubble-like glimpses of the distinct virtual boyfriends she can experience, each offering a different kind of charm. The main trailer follows Mi Rae as she escapes her repetitive daily routine and enters “Boyfriend on Demand,” a subscription-based virtual dating simulation service. Guided by the dating manager (Yoo In Na), who assures her, “We put in everything you like,” Mi Rae takes her first step into the virtual world—and just as promised, fantasy-like moments unfold before her eyes. She meets a prince-like suitor, encounters a first-love senior on a cherry blossom-filled campus, receives a bold confession from a handsome doctor, and even embarks on dreamlike dates with a secret agent and a top star. After these thrilling, heart-fluttering experiences, Mi Rae is left reeling with sweet excitement. Meanwhile, in the real world, she keeps crossing paths with Kyeong Nam (Seo In Guk). The two unexpectedly become “overtime workmates,” and the subtle spark that begins to grow between them adds another layer of intrigue. The trailer also reveals a dazzling lineup of special appearances, with Seo Kang Jun, Lee Soo Hyuk, Ong Seong Wu, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Young Dae, Jay Park, and Lee Sang Yi appearing as Mi Rae’s virtual boyfriends, each bringing their own unique appeal.

As such, viewers will be able to enjoy a wide spectrum of romantic comedies.” Regarding the virtual dating scenes, he added, “We focused on showcasing Jisoo’s diverse charms in as many ways as possible. That’s why each episode features different professions and settings, and we subtly adjusted her acting tone so that her roles in the virtual world feel distinct from the real-life Mi Rae.” “Boyfriend on Demand” will premiere on March 6.

Yoon Jong Hoon will play Go Gyeol, an architect armed with every advantage imaginable. However, beneath his cynical gaze, sharp remarks, and free-spirited attitude lies a hidden story he cannot easily share. Uhm Hyun Kyung takes on the role of Jo Eun Ae, a startup developer determined to create a humane, AI-driven world. Though constantly overlooked and criticized at home, she lives with unwavering optimism and a bright, resilient spirit. However, an unexpected incident threatens to derail her life entirely. Meanwhile, Jung Yoon will portray Go Min Ho, Go Gyeol’s older brother and the head of the Strategic Planning Division at Kangsu Group.

Yoo Yeon Seok Reluctantly Becomes An Unconventional Lawyer Hero In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”
SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Phantom Lawyer” has unveiled new stills of Yoo Yeon Seok in character! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows 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 draws attention as another expansion of the hero narrative. Lawyer Shin I Rang begins seeing ghosts against his will and hearing their unresolved stories. His journey starts with a power he did not choose but must accept as fate. Yoo Yeon Seok takes on the role of Shin I Rang, a possessed lawyer who refuses to back down even in unpredictable situations. He does not turn away from clients with heartbreaking stories. At the same time, he shows panic and fear after suddenly gaining the ability to see ghosts, adding humor to the story. Unexpected incidents that occur after he becomes possessed by ghosts, regardless of age or gender, are expected to create comic moments and add energy to the story. Even as he struggles with a power he never chose, he shows sharp insight and logic at critical moments, quickly turning the tide of unfavorable trials. His performance shifts between seriousness and clumsiness, comedy and charisma, signaling the rise of another hero. Attention is also growing around his tense dynamic with Han Na Hyun. Unlike Shin I Rang, Han Na Hyun approaches situations with cool logic. At times, the two clash in sharp confrontations. At other times, they form an unexpected partnership. Their chemistry is expected to add depth to the character-driven story. The production team remarked, “‘Phantom Lawyer’ combines SBS’s experience in legal dramas with fantasy elements. It delivers satisfying twists, along with a message that speaks for those who feel wronged. The possessed lawyer Shin I Rang, portrayed by Yoo Yeon Seok, is not a perfect hero but someone who wavers yet ultimately cannot turn away. It will be fun to watch the rise of a different kind of hero.” “Phantom Lawyer” is set to premiere on March 13 at 9:50 p.m. KST. While waiting, watch Yoo Yeon Seok in “Bro&Marble in Dubai”:
4 Shocking Moments From The Final Episodes Of "The Judge Returns"
Ending with the highest ratings in its time slot, “The Judge Returns” perfectly wrapped up this intriguing, complex, and thrilling story. There was never one dull moment in Lee Han Young’s (Ji Sung) journey of redemption and revenge, but these last episodes definitely took us on a wild ride with so many twists and turns. Some may say it was overly complicated, others may say it was just right, but no one can say it wasn’t worthy. Here are some of the most shocking moments in the finale of this K-drama! Warning: spoilers from episodes 13-14 ahead. 1. Kang Sin Jin’s coup going awry Kang Sin Jin (Park Hee Soon) is probably one of the most charismatic and scheming villains in a legal K-drama. He’s so resourceful and smart that he appears to be almost undefeatable. Nonetheless, right when his moment to hold down Park Gwang To (Son Byung Ho) and take possession of the power in Suojae comes, everything goes awry when his tug, Gwak Sun Won (Park Geon Il), is unable to kill the former president. In the process, Kang Sin Jin not only faces the possibility of losing everything he’s fought for his entire life but also of getting accused of a murder attempt, given that the men who were ready to take his side don’t hesitate to turn their backs on him once the plan fails. And for the first time, we see Kang Sin Jin losing all his self-control as he literally stabs one of the congressmen who tries to pin the blame on him. In this fit of rage, Kang Sin Jin puts the last nail in the coffin of his plans to overtake the shadow government he coveted so much. Funnily enough, Lee Han Young doesn’t even need to do that much to see his rival’s downfall; he just makes sure that Park Gwang To has a way to escape since he will become Kang Sin Jin’s biggest threat. It could be called karma or simply luck, but it is said that violent delights have violent ends, and this is definitely only the beginning of the brutal ending for this villain. 2. Lee Han Young being framed of murder While watching Kang Sin Jin at his lowest, Han Young has no reason left to keep pretending that he is his ally. With masks off, he finally reveals his true intentions, and Kang Sin Jin realizes that he has had the enemy by his side all this time. However, he extends his hand once more, choosing to give Han Young one last chance to take his side. This brief but heartfelt moment adds even more depth to an already complicated relationship. Of course, Kang Sin Jin couldn’t even imagine the profound resentment Han Young has against him, and yet, he is willing to give him an opportunity. It’s an action that makes you almost feel sympathy for him. But a villain is still a villain, and when Han Young refuses to take his offer, Kang Sin Jin charges against him, getting into a fierce confrontation where Han Young is fatally wounded. Luckily, he doesn’t die, but he is framed for murder with Yoo Se Hee’s (Oh Se Young) help, just like in his first life. This detail is so smart since you can tell this is the way the full circle is closing, exactly as it started. But Han Young has already changed his fate, and contrary to the past, he isn’t alone anymore nor is he the corrupt judge he used to be, so he can get away from that dreary situation just in time to see Kang Sin Jin’s defeat. 3. Kang Sin Jin’s surprising downfall No one gets as far as Kang Sin Jin did without fierce determination, fearlessness, and even some recklessness. So when he sees himself at a dead end, instead of hiding, he plays one of his last cards. He strikes a deal with none other than Park Gwang To, who cunningly gives him a slush fund to recover Suojae. Unexpectedly, as the former president is killed, Kang Sin Jin is accused of multiple fraud crimes. Furthermore, Han Young finally finds the files that uncover the dirt on every congressman, politician, and businessman associated with the former president. With no more aces up his sleeve, Kang Sin Jin has to face the fact that he is done for, and, like the classic criminals, he chooses to leave the country on a boat. But the most surprising part of this is watching Lee Han Young fighting against the gangsters who try to kill Kang Sin Jin. And for a brief moment, they show us what could have been. In another world, or maybe in another K-drama, this pair could have been the most exciting and charismatic duo who fight against injustice and crime. Sadly, in this show, that isn’t the case, and Kang Sin Jin is sent to trial preceded by Lee Han Young. 4. Lee Han Young delivering his final verdict After 14 episodes, Lee Han Young finally gets the revenge he fought so much for. He’s not only able to put all his enemies behind bars but also fix many wrong decisions he made in his past life. With firm conviction, he stands in the courtroom in front of Kang Sin Jin, who doesn’t go quietly. Nonetheless, Han Young states the only principle that has guided his revenge and that is to uphold true justice, the one that stands beside the people, not beside power and money. With that, he sentences Kang Sin Jin to life in prison. In the end, just because Han Young takes some rotten apples down doesn’t mean that the whole system changes overnight. In that sense, this show doesn’t offer a fairytale-like ending where everything turns right and the world is fair and good since there will always be people coveting power. But it ends up reflecting on something more important, which is kindness, justice, and hope. As long as there’s something to fight for, there will be a judge like Lee Han Young who’s willing to do what’s right. And could this sort of open ending hint at a potential second season? Only time will tell!
