The new Korean drama Not Others aims to enthrall viewers with its moving plot.

The latest episodes of the top trending K-drama out now, Marry My Husband, have been the most satisfying yet! We break down our favorite moments from episodes 9 and 10 that we absolutely loved! Things start to heat up between Ji Hyeok and Ji Won! (tvN) Spoilers! Ji Hyeok and Ji Won hiding behind the pillar right after Min Hwan and Soo Min slept together! Oh, the nerve of Kang Ji Won's (Park Min Young) best friend, Jung Soo Min (Song Ha Yoon), sleeping with her boyfriend/fiancé, Park Min Hwan, right after "falling" into the water! Confessing to Yoo Ji Hyeok (Na In Woo) that her best friend had just tried to drown her, Ji Hyeok tries to comfort her in the middle of the night, but not before his sister, Yoo Hee Yeon disrupts their intimate moment! While walking to the kitchen to get some water, Ji Hyeok and Ji Won hid behind a pillar to remain seen by Hee Yeon! This also leads to a very romantic sunrise scene between the two! We just love that when Soo Min thinks that she has Ji Won under her fingers, her plan will backfire! Ji Won surprises her future mother-in-law with her cooking skills A conceited and entitled attitude could best describe Ji Won's future mother-in-law, Kim Ja Ok, in a cooking battle! As a special "thank you" for "saving" her life at the lake, Soo Min treats Ji Won to a cooking class at the mall. Of course, they bump into Ji Won's future mother-in-law (they haven't been introduced to each other yet)! We get a peak into Kim Ja Ok's personality is as vile outside of the home as she is when she is Ji Won's mother-in-law! Min Hwan gets milked dry Bent on getting revenge on Min Hwan for abusing her in the future, Ji Won gets back at her crude fiancé by spending a day at the shopping mall! We all remember from episode 1 that he took advantage of her, and her money, whenever he pleased. So seeing his face disgusted at all the things she bought was definitely satisfying! Min Hwan gets treated like a cash cow and gets milked for all he's worth! Meet the mother-in-law from hell So inappropriate, but so satisfying! (tvN) We couldn't help but put up a stupid grin when we saw diva Ji Won show up to meet Min Hwan's parents at the family gathering! Jaw-dropping, yes! The outfit was banging! Of course, it was inappropriate for the occasion and that's why we love our girl Ji Won! To add the cherry on top, Min Hwan's mother is so despicable that breaking up with Min Hwan and throwing him on the ground after telling his whole family that the wedding was off was the most satisfying! The look on Kim Ja Ok's face, when her son was tossed to the ground like a ragdoll, had us laughing out of our seats! Mr. Red Panties! In a rather funny way, Min Hwan shoots himself in the foot by going to work angry on Monday morning only to be met by a furious Ji Won! What is the firewood to stoke this workplace soap opera? Red panties! Planted by Ji Won, she knew exactly how Min Hwan would react! As soon as Ji Won exposes Min Hwan's cheating, all U & K employees are bewildered and the news spreads like wildfire! We couldn't be more satisfied that Min Hwan's womanizing is exposed at his workplace, where he apparently, is pretty good at his job! Soo Min suffers the ultimate humiliation Oh, the humiliation! Cue the sad violins! Now stop! We couldn't help but smile wryly when things kept going south for Soo Min! A little mean, but we felt that she deserved every bit of her public shaming. Her scandal at the supermarket where she made a customer sick from an allergic reaction comes back to haunt her. The older couple storms into the U & K building and demands an apology. After exposing that Soo Min was the one behind the affair, she is made to publicly apologize to the public by Ji Won, in front of everybody! Oh, the shame! The Christmas kiss! No one can deny that at the end of episode 10 came the moment we've all been waiting for! Ji Won finally admitted her feelings for Ji Hyeok after her date with Baek Eun Ho, her high school first love. During her date, she kept being reminded of Ji Hyeok! The amazing thing is that she was the first one to make the move! Gah! The feels! In return, Ji Hyeok grabs her arms and returns the kiss! How can we not be more satisfied than this? They were meant to be together! Let us know which moments from Marry My Husband have been your most satisfying! Comment below! #marrymyhusband #mostsatisfyingmoments #mostsatisfying #marrymyhusbandep9 #marrymyhusbandep10 #nainwoo #parkminyoung

After experiencing three lifetimes and each time losing the love of her life, Lovely Runner 's Im Sol is up for debate as one of K-drama's strongest roles! We break down what fans are saying and why we just might agree! tvN's Lovely Runner is not only the most-watched K-drama out now, but it's also the most talked about! After episode 13, fans couldn't wait to give their take on one of their favorite and "strongest" female leads in a while! Spoilers! Episode 13 was one for the ages as we witnessed tragedy after tragedy. Im Sol's ( Kim Hye Yoon ) plan to travel back in time to save the boy she loves, Ryu Seon Jae ( Byeon Woo Seok Strong Girl Nam-Soon 2023), but with success. This time, Seon Jae gets stabbed by Im Sol's stalker/killer and falls off the cliff while trying to save her. As soon as Im Sol returns to the present, she finds out that Seon Jae has no recollection of their relationship. As this is the third time that Im Sol has traveled back in time and once again, hasn't successfully saved Seon Jae or caught her killer, fans have shared their excitement and praise for her strong character! Let's take a look at what they said! "She is the strongest character in the series!" Because of her unconditional love for Seon Jae, Im Sol's cheerful attitude throughout the series, when she's in a good mood, lights up the screen! But when times are tough and she is having a difficult time, it is hard to put ourselves in her shoes. Her is what fans had to say after the episode! "I can’t fathom Sol’s pain. She went through three lifetimes to save him, but in the last chance she supposedly had, he died in front of her, prematurely at that, cutting 15 years off his life. Then she had another chance to undo everything. Now, she has to live with the memories of three different lifetimes but act like they didn’t happen." "When u think of it sol is like the strongest character in the series. Cause how can u see ur love die like 3 times , u face ur kidnapper so many times, u now live with memory if ur lover from 3 diff timelines and he doesn't even know a single thing about u cause u erased everything. This has to be mentally draining. I could've never. Come sol I'll give u a hug my love" "Yes all those lovely memories only live on in her ah that's sad but beautiful too. Right from the start she was all about saving him and losing him was the cost. When she was drunk and crying saying his name to the other guy from school days, did he spill the beans to her employer? Does he perhaps have some memories from 2009? She only sent Sun Jae back to before they met." We couldn't agree more with fans as Im Sol continues to go through a vicious cycle of a new plan, hope, and then a disturbing ending each time she travels back in time. Not to mention, we're not sure the reason why her stalking/killer is obsessed with trying to kill her during each lifetime! Let us know your thoughts on the latest episodes of Lovely Runner ! Are you also becoming more frustrated that each time she goes back in time, the same results happen and the killer/stalker still gets away? #LovelyRunner #lovelyrunnerep13 #kimhyeyoon #byeonwooseok

If you've been watching the latest Park Eun Bin drama Castaway Diva on Netflix you will also be scratching your head a little wondering which of the two brothers is the real Ki Ho. Spoilers ahead! Ki Ho or not? At first glance, you would think N also known as Cha Hak Yeon is Jung Ki Ho. His character Kang Woo Hak, seems the most plausible for the moment as the real Ki Ho, because of the very obvious matching physical feature he has to the young Ki Ho, which is his glasses. As we continue to watch, you can't help but feel that something feels amiss about Kang Woo Hak as Ki Ho, he does seem to have a connection to Mok Ha and he did just regain his memories about his youth but the details still seem fuzzy. In that scene where their father picks up the chair to hit Ki Ho, we see Kang Bo Gul (or so we think) played by Chae Jeong Hyeop protect his brother by getting in between Ki Ho and his father, so at this point in the drama we feel as though it is at a 50/50 stage with both brothers because as much as we're guessing it's Kang Bo Gul who is Ki Ho, we never really know with K-Dramas do we? Kang Bo Gul's Chemistry with Mok Ha: Is he Ki Ho or is this just second male lead syndrome? If you don't know what second male lead syndrome is let us teach ya! It can also be when you want the second male lead to end up with the main female lead but as we know that doesn't ever usually happen. RIP the Han Seo Jun ship. We're still not over that. For us, the chemistry between Bo Gul and Mok Ha has been stronger than that of her with Woo Hak. The way Bo Gul ran to Mok Ha's rescue when he found out that she had received flowers from "Ki Ho" and realized that it was someone trying to harm her because HE IS THE REAL KI HO, or so we are guessing at this point. The way he watches her, and in some ways tries to show that he doesn't like her but secretly cares for and protects her, we're feeling that male lead love syndrome as well! Since the scene where Bo Gul puts shoes on Mok Ha we started to get either he is Ki Ho or this is going to be the second male lead syndrome again. The suspense is killing us! What do you think? Who do you think the real Ki Ho is? Let us know in the comments! #castawaydiva #kdrama #parkeunbin #seoul #whoiskiho

Dark, brooding, and full of rage, Shin Ha Kyun crosses over to the dark side of the law in the new crime drama Evilive ! We break down three reasons why this drama is perfect to add to your Halloween binge list! Premiering on October 14, 2023, the new crime thriller from ENA and Genie TV, Evilive has captured our attention coming close to the Halloween season! Starring Shin Ha Kyun , from his amazing role as a "psycho" detective who tries to catch a serial killer in a small town in Beyond Evil (2021), Evilive is a must-watch! Synopsis Han Dong Soo (Shina Ha Kyun) is a case-by-case lawyer who picks up cases every day when visiting the prison system. He is rational and reasonable, like any normal human, but has an evil dark side. Han Beom Jae ( Shin Jae Ha Taxi Driver 2 2023) is Han Dong Soo's half-brother and works part-time at a second-hand repair computer shop. He is also a case broker, bringing new cases to Han Dong Soo to work on. The two get struck by an unusual case of a former star high school baseball player turned gangster for a crime organization and their worlds get turned upside down. Here are our three reasons why Evilive should be at the top of your Halloween watch list! 1. Shin Ha Kyun is a master of his craft! Only two episodes into this new drama and all we can say is "wow"! Shin Ha Kyun is truly a master at anti-hero roles! Similar to his role in Beyond Evil where he is a two-faced detective, the same goes for his new role in Evilive . At times, his character, Han Dong Soo, is cheerful and a regular father, but a switch gets turned on when faced with a domestic issue with his wife and her supervisor and he goes nuts! Watching someone with such talent and skill is truly a breath of fresh air in the world of K-dramas! 2. A complex but stunning storyline Faced with several cases ongoing at the same time, such as the dispute between his wife and her work supervisor, Han Dong Soo feels guilty for not being able to support his family with the mediocre cases that he picks. That being said, he takes on a case that might put him over his head as his half-brother Han Beom Jae introduces him to a gambling ring run by a criminal enterprise. As usual, to avoid any suspicion, this criminal organization is very complex, and difficult to pinpoint the ring leader. Therefore Han Dong Soo and Han Beom Jae switch into detective mode and try to get under the crime organization's skin and disrupt their dealings. The story draws us more into the character development and the interaction between the brothers as they try to solve this case. Although complex, it is definitely worth the watch! 3. Character development is sensational! It is very hard to state a K-drama has good character development, but this one definitely takes the time to explain the details of each character's motivations and actions. From his wife's reasoning for borrowing money to help with his mother's accident at the senior home to his relationship with his half-brother, we can feel empathy for Han Dong Soo as he is trying his best for his family and himself. Shin Ha Kyun is a master at developing his characters and setting them up for the "big bang" as we are hooked and want to see more! Let us know if Evilive has gotten you to sit at the edge of your seat as we wait eagerly for next week's episode! Comment below! #evilive #enadrama
