New character posters have dropped for A Good Day to Be a Dog, showcasing our adorable three leads: Cha Eun-woo (Island), Park Kyu-young (Celebrity), and Lee Hyun-woo (Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area). Airing in MBC’s new Wednesday slot, the fantasy rom-com releases on October 11. [MBC]

SBS is working on a new crime-thriller called Connection (working title), with the lead roles currently offered to Ji Sung (Adamas) and Jeon Mi-do (Thirty-Nine). Aiming to broadcast early next year, production is in the hands of PD Kim Moon-kyo (Trolley) with scripts penned by Lee Hyun (Diary of a Prosecutor). [Star News]

Speaking of crime, new stills have been released for Wavve’s upcoming The Deal, showcasing our dark kidnapper hero Yoo Seung-ho (Moonshine). Also starring Kim Dong-hwi (Missing: The Other Side 2) and Yoo Soo-bin (D.P. 2), the series will be launching next month on October 6. [MBC]
The promos continue for JTBC’s Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon as well, with a new group poster and video teaser. Premiering the same week on October 7, the fantasy stars Lee Yumi (Mental Coach Jegal), Kim Jung-eun (My Dangerous Wife), and Kim Hae-sook (Revenant). [JTBC]

Ha Ji-won (Curtain Call) is considering a new thriller called Murder Case of a Visiting Teacher at J Apartment (roughly translated). Still in the planning stages, the 12-episode series is aiming to start filming towards the end of 2023, once casting has been finalized. [News1]
Reports confirmed that Go Ah-sung (Tracer) recently suffered a spinal injury and has stepped down from TVING’s racy sageuk The Love Story of Choon-hwa. Stepping in for her in the lead role is Go Ara (Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol). [Sports Donga]
The first script reading stills have arrived for KBS’s grand historical The Goryeo-Khitan War, featuring the large cast led by Choi Su-jong (My Only One), Kim Dong-joon (More Than Friends), and Ji Seung-hyun (My Dearest). In celebration of KBS’s 50th anniversary, the series is slated to premiere this November. [News1]

That was the first thing I noticed, too. 🙄 I've been looking forward to it, but that's pretty disappointing.

FWIW, while still very Y-chromosome heavy, the full cast list includes 2 more female supporting/speaking roles.

2. Ji Sung? Jeon Mi-do? Count me in.
I thought Jeon Mi-do had returned to the theatre🤭🤭🤭. It's great to have her grace our small screens one more time.
3. I'm digging Yoo Seung-ho's haircut.

is kidnapping replacing murder mysteries?

What does one of the characters from the drama "Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon" hold in her hands? Is this a bone? Am I seeing wrong? If this is a bone, who came up with such an unpleasant idea for the poster? As a vegetarian, I find this disgusting. Koreans are obsessed with meat, the characters in their dramas constantly eat meat, chicken feet, etc.

uh I am also vegetarian but I have learned to look past that. sometimes I do wonder why they all glorify killing animals for pleasure. I think it has to do with being extremely poor in the past only being able to afford proper nutrition. But I do hope to see more animal activist characters in dramas. Also, for me eating octopus is like eating children and I dont get why anyone would. I would like to see a person turn into a demon after eating a live octopus. reverse the mythology and create superstition, then behavior might change?

Oh how I wish there will be a Manhwa-based drama of Daytime Star. A simply beautiful plot, artwork and real romance. Is it my imagination or what that the artwork drawings of the ML and the FL looks so much like Sung Hoon and Song Ji Eun, the ML and FL in My Secret Romance. It is a story of a couple of actors, one already an established Hallyu star and the FL who only does supporting roles since her debut 7 years ago. How they fall in love and a wonderful success story of a rising star, gaining recognition as a great actress. Not exactly a Manhwa fan, I was totally surprised that i really enjoyed it much more than real-life dramas many of them quite disappointing in so many aspects.
