This heart-warming drama had us in our "feels" as we witnessed tragedy and bad guys trying to ruin their relationship! Here are three reasons why The Kidnapping Day should be at the top of your fall watch list! ** Spoilers! 1. Heartwarming "father-daughter" bond Unusual, but possible, Choi Ro Hee wakes up from an accident and cannot recall her name or who she is. Kim Myeong Joon, on a mission from his ex-wife Seo Hye Eun ( Kim Shin Rok Moving 2023), has no choice but to kidnap Choi Ro Hee in return for the money he desperately needs for his daughter's bone marrow transplant. Built upon a lie, Ro Hee trusts Myeong Joon when he lies about being her father. The two form a heart-warming bond as we watch Myeong Joon struggle with his inner consciousness on whether his actions are justified. 2. Mystery, thriller, suspense! Just two episodes in and there is already a sense of mystery and suspense as we find out why Myeong Joon's ex-wife chooses Ro Hee to be the abductee. Apparently, her parents cannot report her missing because she was abused! What a coincidence right? We are kept at the edge of our seats as a total stranger, a local street recycler, tries to kidnap Ro Hee in the middle of the night. Why and who sent him to do this? In addition, Myeong Joon is already feeling guilty about kidnapping Ro Hee so he tries to return her back to her parents, only to find out that their dead bodies are being carried out of their home! 3. The struggle between what is morally right and what is socially acceptable Does the end justify the means? By kidnapping a random stranger's child, although she has been abused, the right thing to do in order to save your own child? What would you do if you were thrown in the same situation? We can't wait to see how the story unfolds and which characters are brought into the equation! Let us know if The Kidnapping Day has you on the edge of your seat!

After a very entertaining and laugh-out-loud premiere, we get a deeper look into the new rising K-drama Knight Flower's new tandem! Standing on both sides of the law, and with the most adorable dimples, Honey Lee and Lee Jong Won ( The Golden Spoon 2023) join hands in the latest episodes! We break down what happened and what made it so entertaining! Spoilers! Full of awkwardness and we love it that way! Like a gust of fresh air from the Han River , Knight Flower is full of weird and awkward moments and we like it just like that! Jo Yeo Hwa ( Honey Lee ) is a noble lady in training during the day and the Joseon "Robin Hood" by night! Just when you think she is armed with the most adorable dimples that can get away with any situation, her very strict mother-in-law, Yoo Geum Ok ( Kim Mi Kyung Welcome to Samdal-ri 2023), has her on a leash! Starting with episode 3, Jo Yeo Hwa tries to be secretive about her night identity, but cannot hold in her urge to help others. Park Soo Ho ( Lee Jong Won ) is a stickler for the law and does whatever it takes to uphold it. Just when you think everything is serious and an action scene is about to erupt, Yeo Hwa makes it super funny and awkward that had us follow out of our chairs! Charity work is important too! We guess the term "noblesse oblige" ( responsibility of privileged people to act with generosity and nobility toward those less privileged) also applies to Joseon noblewomen as well! Unable to hide her good nature, Yeo Hwa, while serving food to the poor, sees a grandmother living in an unstable shack. As the roof of the shack begins to quiver in instability, Yeo Hwa rushes to save her. Before the roof of the shack can cave in onto Yeo Hwa, Park Soo Ho slides in, like the smooth lawman that he is, and saves Yeo Hwa from getting hit by the roof! This being looked at as being "unladylike" back in the Joseon era, Yeo Hwa's mother-in-law quickly steps in to scold her. But not before one of the more senior, and more privileged women, cut her off to praise Yeo Hwa of her selflessness. We love it! The word "luck" isn't in these two characters' vocabulary Onto episode 4! As Park Soo Ho begins to suspect Yeo Hwa as the "Joseon Robin Hood", he begins watching her closely and starts to follow her. After being scolded by Minister Yeom about his lost tiger painting, he seeks out Yeo Hwa to find the real painting that she has stolen. After some words, Yeo Hwa promises to return Lord Yeom's painting, but in an accident, breaks the wooden crossbar and cherry blossom petals fly everywhere! Yeo Hwa and Soo Ho need each other One can get results by breaking the law, the other can use what the results are and turn it into something the law can judge. Yeo Hwa and Soo Ho create a partnership that is beneficial for them both. Yeo Hwa can do whatever is necessary to right wrongs and Soo Ho can step in and "clean up her mess" by using the law to arrest those she catches responsible for the recent child kidnappings. Yeo Hwa divulges her thoughts that Kang Pil Jik is responsible for kidnapping children at the Pil Gambling House. Telling her that Joseon is a "nation governed by law" he will be the one arresting Kang Pil Jik instead. Thus, a new team is formed! Unable to find the missing children at the Pil Gambling House, it is Yeo Hwa's turn to use her methods! Disguised as a very convincing Joseon man, She heads into the devil's lair. She finds that Pil's men are indeed kidnapping the children and selling them for higher interest. Meanwhile, Soo Ho and his superiors cannot find any evidence and are forced to release Kang Pil Jik. It is found out that Kang Pil Jik has friends in high places as he has deep connections to the Royal Court, making him nearly untouchable. We can't wait for the next episodes! At the end of episode 4, just as we thought, there is someone even higher and in control of Kang Pil Jik who is Lord Ji Sung Seok! And cue the curtains! Wow! That's a lot to take in!

South Korea Although the Korean version of the remake contains the same eclectic group of characters, If you like Korean culture and history, then watch on!

Our dashing sunglasses-wearing taxi-driving hero Kim Do Ki ( Lee Je Hoon Move to Heaven 2021) returns from the dead on the latest episodes of Taxi Driver 2 ! Let's check out what really happened before his taxi exploded! Spoiler Alert! Episode 11 starts off with our "Taxi Squad" in tears as they follow our hero, Kim Do Ki, signing off as usual after solving every case. But on this night, something's not right. Do Ki's taxi stops responding to his controls and communications have been compromised! Our "Taxi Squad" only witnessed the taxi blowing up in the middle of the street but didn't see Do Ki jumping out at the last second. Pyo Ye Jin (Ahn Go Eun) is a tremendous actress as she pulls off crying her eyes out at Do Ki's pretended funeral. It turns out that our heroic team has been compromised by none other than our vicious villain, On Ha Joon ! It seems that the team has been suspicious of his activities ever since the day he joined the taxi club and even has the police department under his finger. Our "Taxi Squad" traces the suspects back to a mysterious club called "Black Sun" where Kim Do Ki witnesses a reporter, Kim Yong Min ( Baek Soo Jang The Good Detective 2 2022), getting beaten up by the club's bouncers. Do Ki rescues the reporter with a few good jabs to the two bouncers knocking them out. It seems that Kim Yong Min has been recording himself getting beat up by the club in order to cut a deal. Meanwhile, our evil villain On Ha Joon (Shin Jae Ha) is planning something to get revenge on the "Taxi Squad", but he receives an order from someone called the "Bishop" to stop what he is doing and continue with his "work". He meets another evil boss at Club Black Sun named CEO Yang ( Yoo Ji Yeon Doctor Lawyer 2022). It seems that CEO Yang is just as evil as Ha Joon as the two play a "game" of beating up the security guards. While that is going on, Kim Do Ki has disguised himself as one of the security guards and volunteers to drive a drunk girl to a secret location, ordered by the club boss. While driving, he is tailed by the reporter, Kim Yong Min, and actually saves his life as Yong Min tries to take his revenge on the security guards without knowing Do Ki is the one driving the car. As Do Ki and Yong Min meet, Yong Min spills his secret that the reason why he is holding a grudge against Club Black Sun is that he had befriended a police detective a while ago who tried to uncover the secret dealings of the club, but was found dead before uncovering the truth. That's when our "Taxi Squad" decides to take his case! Wow! It looks like Club Black Sun will hold the truth behind who is pulling all the strings! It seems that the Kim Yong Min case will be the main case covering 3 or more episodes! Let us know your theories on what will happen and what you thought about the latest episodes! #taxidriver2ep11 #taxidriver2ep12 #taxidriver2 #leejehoon

Riding high as this winter's most popular drama, Na In Woo proves that he is not the second lead! In the most recent episode, he is there to protect Park Min Young long before she ever knew who he was! Read on as we break down the latest episode of Marry My Husband and its shocking secrets! Spoilers! Back in 2005, Yoo Ji Hyeok ( Na In Woo Longing For You 2023) bumped into Kang Ji Won ( Park Min Young What's Wrong with Secretary Kim 2018) while on military holiday. In a drunken stupor, Ji Won spills that she had just lost her father in March earlier that year and had just broken up with her boyfriend. (By the way, we love Park Min Young's drunken acting! By far, one of the most convincing "drunk" people on the K-drama screen!) In a heartfelt moment, the two dispel each other, their feelings, and inner thoughts together throughout the night. Ji Hyeok finds out the next day that Ji Won is an upperclassman at the same university. He begins to help Ji Won take care of a kitten, without her knowledge and the two begin to share an unbreakable bond. The two are then reunited six years later in 2011 as Ji Won is introduced to Ji Hyeok's team at U&K Food where he was the General Manager. Looking back at all his missed opportunities to tell Ji Won his feelings, Ji Hyeok vows to make the most out of his present chances! Ji Won isn't the only person time-traveling! In a shocking twist, the storyline has brought us to believe that Ji Hyeok is also traveling back in time after a car accident! At the end of episode 4, we come to find out that whoever dies and comes back to life receives a blue heart on their body. It turns out that Ji Hyeok also has one on his collar! An unexpected character shocks us! We also are introduced more in-depth about Yoo Hui Yeon ( Choi Gyu Ri ). It turns out that although Ji Won thinks that she is Ji Hyeok's girlfriend, after seeing them come out of a boutique together, the opposite is even more shocking! Yoo Hui Yeon is actually Yoo Ji Hyeok's little sister! (No wonder she was able to buy all that designer jewelry and bags at the beginning of the series!) Ji Won unlocks her past, Pandora's Box is opened! After meeting her high school crush, Baek Eun Ho ( Lee Gi Kwang from the K-pop group Highlight ), she asks him out to dinner and shows her the note that she "allegedly" wrote back in high school rejecting him. It turns out that it was her best friend, Jung Soo Min ( Song Ha Yoon Oh! Young Sim 2023), who forged her handwriting. Ji Won also finds out that it was Ji Hyeok who made Eun Ho go to her high school reunion! Ji Hyeok to the rescue...again? After having wine with Eun Ho, Ji Won walks home but is met with a jealous boyfriend, Park Min Hwan. After being told by Soo Min earlier that Ji Won's mother had an affair, Min Hwan assumes that she is seeing another man. Just when he grabs her arm and is about to hurt her our hero Ji Hyeok swoops in and throws him to the ground! He confessed! Through a misunderstanding that Yoo Hui Yeon is Yoo Ji Hyeok's girlfriend, Ji Hyeok confesses his long-suppressed feelings for Ji Won! (Our hearts exploded in satisfaction!) In the most sincere way, on top of a terrace overlooking Namsan Tower , we could feel that Ji Hyeok couldn't hold it in any longer and told her he liked her very much! And that is how episode 5 ended! With Ji Hyeok fainting in Ji Won's arms as he takes her home. What did you think about this episode?
