To bun or not to bun … 🤔🤔🤔
This clearly will require much observation!

I'm trustingRed Swan as it is a Disney production and the plot has the elements to make a chair gripping power tussle story. I'm hoping Kim Ha-nuel brings her A-game here - the A-game I saw in 18 Againbecause there was no A-game to uncover in Nothing Uncovered.
Special P.S. : Seo Yi-sook's hairstyle stood out right at that corner. That was the first thing I noticed in the poster.
I should be expecting some MET Gala fashion from Red Swan. I hope I'm not tripping though.
And the poster...👌🏽
3. "...to bun or not to bun."
Just burn.
4. This drama has seen it all. All I want is an air date. I need to see what made it worth fighting for.
6. Front seats please.
I'm confident in Whisper's to write something better than Queenmaker.

Looking Forward to the "The Whirlwind." I love the 2 veteran leads and the writer.
With that mane of glory, Jin Gu could be Joo Sang-wook's bro.

Let’s get Jin Goo and Joo Sang-wook together in a sageuk. It would have to be non Joseon era, right? Otherwise all that hair would be enclosed in the dreaded manggeon.

I don't remember Jin Gu in a sageuk before, but it would be nice to see them both in one.

We can also add Hwang Hee to the mix. Jin Gu looks similar to him on a couple of the photos above.

No. 2. MBC’s UNDERCOVER HIGH SCHOOL. Seo Kang-joon’s first post military project (dramedy?) and I will be there. Scheduled for 2025 so I will not worry too much about it yet. Huge plus: Director-nim (Choi Jung-in) of two 5 star dramas: MBC’s ON THE VERGE OF INSANITY (2021) and MBC’s KNIGHT FLOWER (both on Viki US).
No. 3. tvN’s THE AUDITORS. This was not on my radar at all. I enjoyed Wavve’s TRACER (2022) (Viki US) and MBC’s NUMBERS (2023) (Viki US) and really didn’t want to go down that route again. What changed?
This is the first that I have heard that Jin Goo is in this drama. I have been waiting since 2022 for Jin Goo to pay me back for watching all 8 episodes of OCN’s A SUPERIOR DAY (Viki US) my 2022 ‘Stinker of the Year’. Looking down the cast I see another favorite Jung Moon-sung and also always scary Baek Hyun-jin. Only 12 episodes with episode one airing July 6. Still no official legal US stream announced. If it does become available on a legal Us stream I will be there.

oh if it is Knight Flower PD then the capering and treasure hunting is promising to be good :-) but cmon highschooler again. make him too obvious as adult then. im sick of school uniforms on 30 yo
oh but he could be a teacher?
anyway why would highschoolers have any clue where the treasure is, unless they are fans of the band
is the school built on top of a lost catacomb / palace storage

When Jang Ki-yong announced that THE ATYPICAL FAMILY was to be his first post military drama frankly I was disappointed. A drama about folks with super powers wasn’t very appealing. As we approached airing it became apparent that TAF was going to be an ‘atypical’ drama. Look what we got. One of the best dramas of the year.
So I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt at this point to Seo Kang-joon’s high school drama. SKJ in a high school uniform I would rather not but I am willing to wait for further developments.

Jin Gu looks good with that hair. Unfortunately, we haven't quite reached the point when it becomes a proper trend among male actors yet, but pls keep trying, guys!
*still waiting for one exciting drama news like that skeleton meme*

The Auditors is still on my list. More so now that we get a proper look at Jin Gu with a new look for the role.

I would go for Red Swan,The Auditors, The Price of Confession.....and the Netflix's original production: The Whirlwind, as I miss watching a new drama from the scriptwriter that brought me my one of my most favourite political thrillers of all time, Punch
