      Ah, Kim Jung Hyun….Have you seen Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People? He has small but important role there, wielding a sword and brooding!

    I also need to take a look at LUCA (since this one’s originally offered to JCW) and Times (because Lee Joo Young being a lead definitely deserves an audience.) to see if they fit my kdrama tastes. 😊

    1. Kay Avatar

      LUCA is one that I am interested in and will probably watch as long as it still looks promising after it’s completed πŸ™‚

    I am going to pause watching Mr. Queen (only at ep. 6 yet). It’s not that it’s not good. But I got distracted by other dramas on my list, and got busier with other things than dramas, in real life I’d say. πŸ˜€

    1. Kay Avatar

      Yeah, real life will definitely get in the way of drama watching sometimes πŸ˜‚ Hopefully, you are able to come back to it eventually.
