I'm not one to often watch and enjoy melodramas, though over the years I've sampled a fair amount of shows in this genre whenever I've been in the mood for something heavier. Much in the same way, I was motivated to watch JTBC's winter drama Just Between Lovers to satisfy my appetite for a bit of misery.
SEVENTEEN proves time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with. On February 5, the group returned with special album Director's Cut, which contains four new songs, including the title track "Thanks", written by the group's main composing member Woozi and singer-producer Bumzu.
Drama Check-In is a recurring post that helps to keep track of dramas I'm currently watching and allows me to share immediate thoughts on them as I go through the episodes. The intention is to write down my prevalent impressions and encourage readers to do the same in the comments. Discussion is welcome.
Gong Yoo's post-Goblin popularity doesn't seem to die down yet as he models for Harper's BAZAAR China for the magazine's upcoming February issue. The actor looks rather suave and dignified in this simple but sophisticated photo shoot.
Movie actress Kim Tae Ri has recently landed on the cover of Elle Korea's January issue. Kim also posed for the accompanying interior spread in which she wore various white-colored outfits against a plain background, while still managing to look quite striking.
The actress is currently preparing for her first K-drama lead role in Kim Eun Sook's Mr. Sunshine, which is sure to bring her more exposure. It also pairs her up with Lee Byung Heon, who is not only 20 years her senior but also tends to generate controversy with is personal life.
A recent fashion shoot with GRAZIA Korea took actress Lee Yo Won to beautiful Amsterdam, where she she got to stroll the streets while wearing a variety of chic outfits. Lee's styling in the pictorial is perfectly elegant, with her flowy hair framing her face and make-up accentuating her natural beauty.
It has come to my attention that Yoo Seung Ho, who just wrapped up MBC drama series I'm Not a Robot, visited Helsinki (so close yet so far!) back in fall for a photo shoot with NYLON Korea's November issue. The handsome actor wore various sporty looks and posed against the backdrop of Helsinki's urban environment.
Suzy looks gorgeous in the new ads for CARIN's 2018 spring collection which have her dressed in beautiful vibrant colors as she models various pairs of sunglasses. Suzy has been the spokesmodel for CARIN since 2016, but this seems to be the most aesthetically pleasing of all the photo shoots she has done for the brand.
Idol-actress Seohyun recently took a quick trip to New York for a photo shoot which appeared in NYLON Korea's January edition. The gritty streets of the Big Apple served as a fitting backdrop for the pictorial as Seohyun was dressed in trendy designs that perfectly reflected the colorful urban landscape.

The edgy teasers for Red Velvet's upcoming repackage album "The Perfect Red Velvet" and comeback with title track "Bad Boy" have been creating buzz around the K-pop community over the last few days. I can see why as the released promotional images and teasers are quite fascinating in their style.
GQ Korea recently sat down with last year's breakthrough actor Woo Do Hwan for an interview and a photo shoot. The actor spoke candidly about himself, revealing his desire to live like a good person. The accompanying photo shoot, however, gives off slightly darker, more seductive vibes which could possibly tease his upcoming role for MBC's Great Seducer starting in March.
Time sure does fly. Former child actress Kim So Hyun is already growing up into a young adult, expressing her excitement over her forthcoming twenties in an interview with Marie Claire Korea. Kim also posed for a photo shoot with the magazine, looking quite chic and poised. In a controversial casting choice, the young actress is set to play the lead role in the upcoming KBS drama series Radio Romance opposite Yoon Doo Joon, who is ten years her senior and thus looks like he's romancing a teenager, which I can only hope is not the intent.
