Chung Su Bin plays Kim Soo Bin, a young woman who is impregnated by Kim Hyun Joo's character, Kim Hye Joo's son. Needless to say, the relationship between the two on screen is amazing! Revenge of Others star Chung Su Bin shines in her new role as Kim Soo Bin, a young woman who appears on the doorstep of Kim Hye Joo ( Kim Hyun Joo ), an assemblyman's wife, claiming to be pregnant with her son's baby. Her initial reaction, as with any stranger, is hesitation by Hye Joo, but eventually, as they spend more time together, begins to accept Soo Bin as her potential daughter-in-law. As Soo Bin spends more time in Hye Joo's house and studio, where she fixes damaged books, she begins to suspect not everything is as smooth as everyone says. The perfect political family hides a dark secret as Soo Bin suspects her future mother-in-law is not so perfect and kind. Why we love Chung Su Bin!

#redballoon #redballoonkdrama #melodrama Sometimes ridiculous, sometimes serious family melodrama Red Balloon starring Seo Ji Hye ( Adamas 2022) as a 37-year-old single woman who has failed the teacher exam multiple times has us laughing and sometimes crying! Her character, Jo Eun Gang, is surrounded by a dysfunctional family and is fed up with her life and starts to do whatever it takes to realize her dream. Let's take a look at each main character and see which person are you closest to! Jo Eun Gang (Seo Ji Hye) Jo Eun Gang is almost 40 years old and her family is constantly nagging her to get married to her boyfriend, Kwon Tae Gi ( Seol Jung Hwan Unasked Family 2019), of four years. She is giving, kind, and generous as she pays for Kwon Tae Gi's rent, groceries, and spending money as he studies to be a civil servant. She has given up her dream to become a teacher as she has failed the teacher's exam multiple times therefore she is hoping that her boyfriend will pass his exam and get married to him. But in a twist in fate, Eun Gang catches Tae Gi cheating on her with another woman after he has passed the civil servant exam and finally gets a stable job. Tae Gi has taken advantage of her kindness and breaks up with her, leaving her heartbroken. Eun Gang becomes a stronger person as she realizes that she needs to become her own woman and chase after her dream again. At the same time, she is attracted to her best friend's husband, Go Cha Won, who is a successful doctor. Han Ba Da ( Hong Soo Hyun ) Han Ba Da is Eun Gang's best friend since high school and owns her own jewelry design business. She is married to Go Cha Won but has issues with her mother-in-law. Ba Da constantly butts heads with her mother-in-law who always meddles in her personal business. Ba Da is strong and independent, but also very generous to her best friend. She even designed couple rings for their wedding! Although she has a very busy life, she always makes time for Eun Gang and treats her like family. She is oblivious to the fact that maybe Eun Gang still has feelings for her husband, Go Cha Won. Go Cha Won ( Lee Sang Woo ) As a plastic surgeon and son of a businessman, Go Cha Won would be considered many to be successful. He is charming and has a beautiful wife and daughter and always has time to help Han Ba Da if she needs him. Cha Won seems to be a "nice guy" on the surface but sometimes we wonder if he has feelings for Eun Gang since they often spend a lot of time together running errands for Ba Da. Ji Nam Cheol ( Lee Sung Jae ) Ji Nam Cheol is much older than his counterparts as he is nearing 50 years old with a family of his own. He feels overlooked by his family as he runs his father-in-law's company but doesn't see any of the money he has earned. He is often belittled in front of his employees by his father-in-law and is disrespected by his wife and daughter. The only person that cares about him is his son, whom he talks with often. Nam Cheol is introduced to Eun Gang's sister, Jo Eun San ( Jung Yoo Min Red Shoes 2021), as the new bookkeeper for the company and quickly builds a bond with her. She is the only person to understand him and takes his side when things get rough with his family. The two develop a romantic relationship. So which character are you? Which relationship are you rooting for? We would love to hear your input! Check out Red Balloon every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM KST on TV Chosun!

Netflix 's original quiet revenge thriller The Glory has become one of our earlier top performances of 2023! The story of a physically and mentally abused high school girl who vows revenge on her bullies 20 years later has us sitting on the edge of our seats! Here are three reasons why The Glory should be at the top of your K-drama rotation! Premiering on December 30, 2022, a former victim of school violence, Moon Dong Eun ( Song Hye Kyo Descendants of the Sun 2016), takes revenge on her former bullies after taking a job as an elementary school teacher of her bully's child. Dong Eun spent her teenage years and 20s plotting her revenge plan to take out the bullies that took advantage of her by studying to become an elementary school teacher. Each activity and task she does goes toward to her plan, carefully planning each move, like a game of chess. After watching the first episode, you'll be hungry for more! 1. Song Hye Kyo has a dark side! Many of us know Song Hye Kyo from Descendants of the Sun where she works as a kind-hearted doctor who falls in love with a soldier. But after watching the first episode and eventually the rest of Part 1, we have found out that Song Hye Kyo definitely has a dark serious side that shows no emotion. Her character, Moon Dong Eun, has been so emotionally and physically scarred that she seems to have nothing left in her demeanor. When she hires her bully's housekeeper to aid her in her revenge, she tells her "not to make her smile, it'll make her forget the reason why she is doing this." The seriousness and pent-up anger is felt through the screen as Song Hye Kyo confidently exacts her revenge and we're all rooting for her! 2. The Glory is emotionally charged and scary at times! The seriousness and sometimes violence cannot be ignored at times and it keeps us fully invested in the storyline as Dong Eun carefully uses her chess pieces (her former school bullies) to make them turn on each other and self-destruct. Her meticulous planning has given her an edge over her former bullies as she uses her newfound information and resources to control their adult selves. Often without emotion, Dong Eun is able to give off a very scary vibe while using threats to get her way and to continue her plan. 3. We really hate the bad guys! The reason why we can become so emotionally invested in Song Hye Kyo's character is because of the school bullies! They have done unspeakable things to her during her high school years that most people would feel bad about. With the beautiful ring leader, Park Yeon Jin ( Lim Ji Yeon Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area Part II 2022), becoming a popular weather newscaster, marrying a rich man, and having a daughter, it seems that she has it all. But when Dong Eun starts to uncover her dark past, Yeon Jin's real character starts to show. We've all had mixed feelings about the most popular girl at school, but this one takes the cake! Not only is Lim Ji Yeon gorgeous, but her cruel attitude towards Song Hye Kyo's character makes us really hate her guts! Have we convinced you to watch The Glory yet? Let us know if you feel the same! Part 2 will be released in March 2023 and we can't wait!
