March is turning out to be a grim month in Dramaland—we recorded this episode just as the Park Hye-soo story broke, but you can be sure we’ll be following up on the later stories (i.e. Ji-soo) in our future episodes.
It’s a lighter month at least for premieres—the highlight of which is Lee Min-ki’s return to the screen with an equally oddball co-star, so let’s hope that we can mine a bit of joy in the midst of midden.

Dramas Over Flowers 
I was mentioned! 😱
Gosh, that was a nice surprise.
I’m pretty annoyed about Dear M – when the casting was announced, and I realised Kim Sae-ron would be reprising her character from Love Playlist (which I didn’t even watch in full, hahaha, I just watched the compilations of her scenes on YouTube) I was so excited! Then she was recast, and now this. It’s clearly a cursed project.
The Park Hye-soo situation is seriously disappointing. I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch Swing Kids the same way again.
