☕️ 2 BIG Premieres + JEON HYE JIN, SONG JOONG KI & KIM SOO HYUN Casting News

☕️Good Morning!!

We have 13 stories to choose from this week!

What is taking the Top Spot on your watchlist?

I was pleasanstly surprised how much I enjoyed “Cinderella at 2AM”. Really nice twist on the chaebol / cinderella tale. Our main couple has adorable chemistry and they (at least in these 2 eps) actually communicate. Fingers crossed it holds up for another 8 episodes 🤞 🤞

thoughts…

I’m exctied for both premieres this week!

SHIN MIN AH is a proven romcom powerhouse and always a delight. KIM YOUNG DAE was added to my ‘always hit play’ list after “Moon in the Day” plus he also has some solid comedy chops. And come on the fake marriage trope is a classic! Sign me up.

On the other end of the drama spectrum “Queen Woo” with JEON JONG SEO, JI CHANG WOOK & LEE SOO HYUK looks to be an intense historical epic. Four (4) eps drop on Thurs Aug 29th and the final four drop on Sept 12th. We are being told that it will stream on Paramount+ here in the States but it’s still not showing up on the site & I am also reading that they may release it later in the West…Fingers crossed we get it on time and somewhere legit to watch. Will keep you posted as we get confirmation.
