☕️ First Teaser "Welcome To Samdalri" with JI CHANG WOOK & SHIN HAE SUN

This week got away from me - my apologies for the delay in making it to your inbox with all the Kdrama Casting goodies!

We got a full lineup of casting announcements this week - Is your favorite making a comeback?

Also, check out the number of Trailers this week! It seemed like every production company dropped one. I am super excited for “Welcome to Samdalri” and our Healer / Hacker Ahjumma reunion! …She better not be his dead mother

This week on our REWATCH podcast of 2021’s “Happiness” with PARK HYUNG SIK & HAN HYO JOO we tackle the back half of the series. Finishing our tour through the Zombie, I mean Madman Rabies, infested Apartment Building 101 with truly some of the worst humans EVER.

Let’s get this KDrama Coffee Break started!

✅ JO JUNG SEOK, SHIIN SAE KYEONG along with LEE SHIN YOUNG, PARK YE YOUNG and YANG KYUNG WON are confirmed for the 2024 Historical “Sejak, The Enchanted”. A tale of revenge, political intrigue and a messy epic love, from the writer of “The Crowned Clown” (one of my favorites!) Kim Sung Deok and “The Good Detective” Series Director, Jo Nam Gook.

✅ LEE JAE KYUN has confirmed his first Main Role in the upcoming drama “Tell Me That You Love Me” starring Jung Woo Sung & Shin Hyun Been. He will be portraying Shin Hyun Been’s childhood friend, composer Yoon Jo Han.

🧐 LEE JUNHO is still considering his turn as a superhero in “CASHERO” and may be joined by KIM HYE JOON! We adored her in “Kingdom” & “Inspector Koo” and you may remember as Lee Junho’s sister in “Just Between Lovers” so this will be fun if they both confirm. Super intrigued by this one - would love to see this match-up!

🧐 JUNG HAE IN is reportedly positively considering joining the “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” team for their latest rom-com kdrama “Mom’s Friend’s Son”. Filming is scheduled to begin in early 2024.

🧐 CHOI JIN WOONG has been offered the detective role in the drama “No Way Out” replacing LEE SUN KYUN.

🗣️ LEE YI DAM currently supporting PARK BO YOUNG in “Daily Dose of Sunshine” and may be joining the historical drama “Won Kyung” playing a royal concubine with CHA JOO YOUNG & LEE HYUN WOOK.

🗣️ BAE NA RA the musical theatre actor whose first kdrama role was the iconic Nina in “DP2” is now rumored to be joining PARK JI HOON in leading “Weak Hero Class 2”.

🗣️KIM SUNG CHEOL who was recently tapped to take over Yoo Ah In’s role in “Hellhound 2” is now being reported to be the latest actor joining the upcoming drama “No Way Out”. Still waiting for confirmation for the lead (see above) so no news on when filming will begin.

🗣️ KIM JUN HAN fresh off the success of “Anna”, he is rumored to be joining JI SOO and PARK JEONG MIN in fighting zombies as a survival specialist in webtoon based kdrama “Influenza”.

🚫 JI CHANG WOOK has turned down a role in the webtoon-based drama “The Hooligans” with RYU SEUNG RYONG. But you don’t have to wait long to see him again - “Welcome To Samdalri”

Continuing our REWATCH of 2021's “Happiness” staring PARK HYUNG SIK & HAN HYO JOO.

This week it's all about the Residents of Building 101 and the Andrew of it all 🤬 We also continue our discussion of how well (or not) this Zombie Kdrama reflects society's view of classism, patriarchy, and humanity during  Covid and of course, no conversation would be complete without swooning over the magical chemistry between our two leads! ...(though Jenn will continue to dream of the "what could have been" with PARK SUNG HOON 😜)

Join JENN, CAROL from KDramasMusings MICHAELA from The Kpopcast & CAITLIN from No Sleep 4 Dramas as we dive into “Flower of Evil” Episodes 13-The Finale!
