Speaking of legal dramas, MBC will be taking us a few centuries into the past with Woo Do-hwan (The King: Eternal Monarch) as a Joseon Lawyer and the newest stills feature Bona (Twenty Five Twenty One) in the role of Princess Lee Yeon-joo. The fictional sageuk will be coming in March as well, with Choi Jin-young (Seven Day Queen) penning the scripts and PD Kim Seung-ho (Twenty Five Twenty One) at the helm. [MBC]

Former Doctor Lawyer So Ji-sub is considering Plaza Wars for his next project.

1 - still nope, no matter how nicely they'll style JSW's unfortunate hair. Why can't his character be inheritance lawyer? That would've been much easier to digest!

4 - Tving and sci-fi dramas... And high school ofc. Should we expect some zombies as well?)))

6 - this poster SCREAMS imminent tragedy.

Oasis sold as romance but…I have a horrible feeling it is going to be Apple crumble with Kimchi on the side, both great in their own right but not as a combo😆
