Ji Chang-Wook‘s first two post-military K-Dramas (“Melting Me Softly,” “Backstreet Rookie”) were met with mixed reception. But fans are hoping that his upcoming series will be a huge hit for the talented star. He and Kim Ji-Won (“Fight for My Way“) have signed on the dotted line to star in the upcoming romance series, “City Couple’s Way of Love.”
Unlike most K-Dramas which have a one (season)-and-done approach, this series is being filmed like U.S. shows: with multiple seasons in mind. This debut season’s working title is “My Lovable Camera Thief.”
The leads are impressive, but the showrunners behind this series are just as formidable. Director Park Shin-Woo just had a bonafide hit with Kim Soo-Hyun’s “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.” The primary scriptwriter is Jung Hyun-Jung (“Romance is a Bonus Book”).
“City Couple’s Way of Love” is expected to debut before the new year. Here’s hoping the series joins the ranks of Ji’s previous hits (“Healer,” “Suspicious Partner,” “The K2”).
Not a day goes by without BTS being in the news. ARMY is going nuts (in a good way!) trying to figure out if PSY‘s recent Instagram post is a hint that he and V (“Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth“) are working on a collaboration. The two are long-time friends and fans of each other’s work, so it wouldn’t be out of the question. And that’s a collab many of us would love to see happen!
On September 23, BTS spoke at the 75th United Nations General Assembly for the second time. In 2018, group leader Kim Nam-Joon (aka RM) made a beautifully impassioned speech about the importance of self acceptance and loving yourself. This year’s speech addressed the difficulties many people worldwide — particularly young people — are experiencing due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Shin Min-A (“My Girlfriend is a Gumiho“) has been doing press to promote her latest film, “Diva,” a female-centric movie that deals with her character’s memory loss and the disappearance of her best friend. Shin said she was very overjoyed to be part of a project that highlighted the talent of female actors and showcased strong female characters.
In some of the interviews, she also answered questions about her A-list boyfriend, Kim Woo-Bin (“The Heirs“), who’ll next be seen in the crime sci-fi film, “Alien.” The two celebrities have been in a relationship for the past five years. Kim has credited her with helping him during his recovery process from nasopharyngeal cancer.
“Diva” made its world premiere on September 23.
