News bites: December 10, 2024
by tccolb
- As we countdown to the January 4 take-off for tvN’s When the Stars Gossip, the newest poster lines up our hefty cast with Lee Min-ho (Pachinko) and Gong Hyo-jin (When the Camellia Blooms) headlining the sci-fi rom-com alongside many, many talents. The drama has PD Park Shin-woo (Lovestruck in the City, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) at the helm with scripts by Seo Sook-hyang (Iron Family). [MBC]
- JTBC is starting to make headway on The Art of Negotiation, releasing the first poster with a newly silver Lee Je-hoon (Chief Detective 1958) as our corporate M&A expert in this upcoming office series. Expected to air on weekends in the early half of 2025, production is in the talented hands of PD Ahn Pan-seok (The Midnight Romance in Hagwon) and writer Lee Seung-young. [MBC]
- A new fantasy romance called The Remarried Empress (roughly translated) is also in the works for 2025, which has offers out to Shin Mina (No Gain No Love) and Lee Jong-seok (Big Mouth) to co-star in the webnovel-adaptation. With PD Jo Su-won (My Happy Ending) attached to direct, this will mark his third time working with Lee if he accepts after I Can Hear Your Voice and Pinocchio. [JTBC, Newsen]
- Promos continue on Netflix’s Squid Game 2 with more character posters to add to our bingo pile, this time featuring Lee Byung-heon (Our Blues) and Wie Ha-joon (The Midnight Romance in Hagwon). Reprising their roles from the first season – together with our story’s hero Lee Jung-jae (Chief of Staff, The Acolyte) – the new second season will soon be on our screens on December 26 later this month. [MBC]
- On SBS, we’ve got a bundle of stills to enjoy all the pretty in the new office romance Love Scout. Starring Han Ji-min (Behind Your Touch), Lee Jun-hyuk (Dongjae the Good or the Bastard), Kim Do-hoon (Your Honor), and Kim Yoon-hye (Jeongnyeon – The Star is Born), the series is slated to premiere on January 3, following The Fiery Priest 2 in the weekend slot.

They've done Wi Ha Joon dirty. That's probably his most unflattering picture. And to think he was the one everyone was gushing about in the 1st season. They are going to be way too many men competing for that this season.

2. This looks interesting and silver hair looks fun.
3. Hmmm, can't decide, maybe when stills come out.
4. Not excited, but not not excited, lol.
5. I am really excited for this, this looks like a nice grown up romance. I also appreciate that she is the boss and he is the secretary.

When the Stars Gossip: I just love a large ensemble cast and this one looks like it will deliver! Praying they can pull off the space theme. 🪐🔭
Love Scout: January feels like the perfect time for an office romance. Really looking forward to this one!

😒 at Art of Negotiation because that PD will run some poor song into the ground once more.

There should be a petition to sign for this. I'm trying to watch Hagwon, the minute the song started playing for the first time I hit mute. I'd rather read subtitles, or drop the show.

I have entirely and forever given up on Ahn Pan-seok dramas because of this. I'm convinced it's a deliberate and perverse choice to test viewers.
Remarried Empress sounds bonkers, and not in a good way. I wonder if this will be another one that tries to translate a faux-European-historical setting to Joseon.

I had better do the same. I couldn’t finish Hagwon even with muting the song!
