What starts as an ordinary mishap becomes a scary nightmare when Chun Woo-hee (Be Melodramatic) loses her phone in the Netflix movie Unlocked. As seen in the newest posters, said phone becomes a central part of our story, allowing Im Shi-wan (Summer Strike) to gain access to everything. But, it’s not yet clear how his dad and cop Kim Hee-won (Big Issue) is involved. The mystery-thriller releases this coming February 17. [News1]

We have a sea of stills to get through today and SBS presented us with lots of Lee Je-hoon (Move to Heaven), our knight in taxi armor. Coming to our screens on February 17 as well, the crime-action Taxi Driver 2 co-stars Kim Eui-sung (Under the Queen’s Umbrella) and Pyo Ye-jin (VIP) with Oh Sang-ho penning the scripts and PD Lee Dan (Our Beloved Summer) at the helm.

As Disney+ wraps up the first season of Big Bet today, they confirmed that Season 2 will be coming next month. Continuing the story with Choi Min-shik (In Our Prime), Sohn Seok-gu (Our Liberation Notes), Lee Dong-hwi (Glitch), and Heo Sung-tae (Bait), the first three episodes will be unveiled on February 15, with future episodes once a week on Wednesdays thereafter.

In the newest stills for tvN’s Our Blooming Youth, we can feast our eyes on more Park Hyung-shik (Sountrack #1) and Jeon So-ni (Dr. Brain), along with a peek at King Lee Jong-hyuk (Bad Prosecutor) and the current Queen Hong Soo-hyun (Red Balloon). With the premiere just over a week away, the sageuk romance will finally get working on lifting our prince’s curse on February 6. [Sports Chosun (1), (2)]

Netflix’s rom-com Love to Hate You is just around the corner as well, premiering on February 10. With a jumble of tropes at their disposal, we should be in for a fun ride with Kim Ok-bin (Dark Hole) and Yoo Teo (Dr. Brain) bickering their way to love. In the new stills, we also get a look at our second leads and supporting cast, including Kim Ji-hoon (Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area), Go Won-hee (Revolutionary Sisters), Lee Joo-bin (Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area), and the ever beautiful Kim Sung-ryung (Kill Heel).

What have they done to my Kim Ji-hoon's hair? Just say no to the curling iron, bro!

Still, he has a true mane of glory now. Before he cuts it, I hope someone puts him in a sageuk where he gets to play a warrior.

They gave him chairman's wife hair. Rich and mean mother-in-law hair.

@ysbee It doesn't help he's wearing the type of coat moms and prospective mothers-in-law wear in dramas.

I'm hopefully optimistic about Our Blooming Youth and will check it out just for Park Hyung-Shik, I think he's that adorable.

Will probably pass on Hate to Love You, unless y'all give it rave reviews, in which case I'll cave to peer pressure and give it a go.

But he's trying so hard not to be adorable in those stills! He even brought big gu... I mean, big sword to look all serious and cool. Well, until you see the kid playing his little bro and how they actually kinda look alike in a cute way... yeah, you're right, still adorable)))

4 - you can tell we're getting really close to premiere by how informative and spoilery promo stills became after weeks of vague "here's character X in a pretty outfit")))

5 - forget the "romantic" curls, what's with this awful reddish with yellow highlights hair color? Not only it's a rather questionable coloring itself (unless you're under 25y.o. with a perfect skin so this combo won't age you), it also a total mismatch with his skin tone (and naturally black eyebrows).
