thoughts…

I am looking forward to seeing what “Serendipty’s Embrace” brings us. I haven’t paid much attention to the teasers or trailers but I like the pairing of KIM SO HYUN and CHAE JONG HYEOP. I’m ready to dive headfirst into another fun romcom.

Big note for this week: “Good Partner” will be preempted for the next 3 weeks for the Paris Olympics. We will be getting Ep 5 this week and won’t get Ep 6 until August 16.
