Round-Up 2023 – Day 2
Male lead I will never forget

Ah..for this one it’s quite literal, cause I’ll probably never forget watching and liking a drama just for it to be abruptly taken away from me without notice 😭
I’m talking about cdrama Justice In The Dark (adaptation of novel Silent Reading) that only aired 8 of 30 episodes and disappeared..will it ever get fully released? Meh, who knows.

But it still gave me a memorable ML in Pei Su played by Zhang Xincheng, who’s a really talented and versatile actor that has had me totally smitten for the most part of this year! 😆

Pei Su come back to me!! :(((

I also want to mention a second place for Chae Jonghyeop, that, after making me fall for his smile (*cough* and shoulders *cough*) last year, started this one with a somewhat underwhelming project, imo (Unlock My Boss), but promptly climbed back up last minute as the best boy Kang Bogeol/Jung Kiho in Castaway Diva 🥺
..and because I haven’t had enough, I’m currently rewatching Love All Play too and loving it just the same!!
(And also realizing how underutilized CJH is in Diva, overall, despite some great scenes being included)

    Zhang Xincheng is a great actor I have met (with pleasure) in Go Ahead, where he was my favorite character. Amazing acting. Now I have to have a look at his other dramas.

      Oh!! Yes, that’s one of his best roles!!
      If your up for a rom-com (with fantasy elements, specifically body swap shenanigans) you should definitely check out The Day Of Becoming You, it’s one of the best in its genre!

      I also love The Heart of Genius, which is a time travel story with a bit of romance too, though its main focus is about family, mostly ~
