It will be great to see Lee Jong-suk back on screen, i've always had a soft spot for him since "Pinocchio" and "While you were sleeping"
Unpopular opinion: Gong Yoo is a very limited actor who gets by on his personality and looks rather than skill, versatility or range, with that being said i like Seo Hyun-jin so ill give this 2 episodes to win me over
Looking forward to watching "The Tale of Lady Ok" sagueks are rare these days, leta hope its good.

I got hooked with The Trunk's recent trailer. I like both leads so hopefully it will be good.
Another drama I will watch is the saguek, The Tale of Lady Ok. I am in a mood for a good saguek so I hope it does not disappoint like the other recent "saguek".
Those posters for Parole Examiner Lee are pretty. I like revenge dramas and the leads.

1. Scripts by real life lawyer ... now where have I heard that before. Wish Lee Jong-suk would choose another profession now. Not that in Big Mouth he was shown lawyering for very long but still, fans can get profession fatigue on behalf of their Oppas, no!?
2. Eeks ... Gong Yoo playing the guitar with *that* expression!! Hold still my heart. 😍🥰
3. Sigh, boyfriend profession fatigue. After Gong Yoo can Seo Hyun-jin say yes to another (mysterious!?) music director who is well, *not* Gong Yoo!? 🙈🤷♀️
4. Drama name fatigue - you mean My Sweet Mobster was not also called Bunny and Her Boys, huh maybe it was The Emperor Penguin, Mama Deer and Her Deerlings. 🤔
5. The Tale of Lady Ok has my interest now. Guess it it not a sageuk sageuk but maybe a bit of fusion, no!?
6. A golden glitter coat makes everything better, isn't it. 👍🏻😂

Last night, I randomly clicked Another Miss Oh when in Viki - it ended as an all-nighter full rewatch of the first 8 episodes. This re-affirms my faith and love for Seo Hyun-jin. AMO is really a career-defining performance for her and she plays it with perfect nuance to the T!
I’ll for sure watch The Trunk, more for her than Gong Yoo.

Many more to be excited about. Looks like next year is already starting to say "Come to Me" and I'll keep you entertained! Gotta get through the end of this year though first. (Not complaining)
