After he returns to his alma mater as the new coach of its bottom-ranked high school rugby team, he leads the underdog squad on a quest to win the National Sports Festival. The newly released teaser opens with the rugby team walking confidently onto the field—only to reveal their dismal record: 25 losses in 26 matches over…

It may have seemed like nothing could get to Lee Jong Suk on “Law and The City,” but he’s about to find himself stuck with a case he desperately wants to avoid! tvN’s “Law and The City” is a new drama that follows five associate attorneys—Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk), Kang Hui Ji (Mun Ka Young), Cho Chang Won (Kang You Seok), Bae Mun Jeong (Ryu Hye Young), and Ha Sang Gi (Im Seong Jae)—as they navigate the challenges and triumphs of their daily lives.

A K-pop act’s title track isn’t always the best song on their album, even if it’s the one most people will hear. Sometimes, b-sides deserve recognition too. In the singles-oriented world of K-pop, I want to spotlight some of these buried treasures and give them the props they deserve. I like Super Junior’s new single Express Mode just fine, though as an anniversary track it’s pretty underwhelming. Most of the album is much stronger. It’s ironic, given Express Mode‘s self-identification as a “100% certified slapper,” that there are a handful of tracks that slap harder. Express Mode might bat you…

Justice has been served, with Mun Ka Young and Lee Jong Suk ready to devour with their new drama “Law and The City.” Set in modern-day South Korea, we meet a group of five attorneys who live in a ruthless and indifferent world, striving to make the most of each day in their office, all while enjoying an occasional meal together. Although the premise of the plot isn’t particularly exhilarating at first glance, we soon discover that life doesn’t have to be like an over-the-top soap opera to be interesting. Warning: spoilers from episodes 1-2 ahead!  After nine years as…

Lee Chanhyuk’s second solo album is only days away and promises to mine many classic sounds of the 80’s. Prior to its release, he’s shared new track Out Of My Mind (돌아버렸어). From what I can gauge from the highlight medley, its synth-heavy sound is emblematic of what we’ll be getting on the full project. It’s been fascinating to see which direction Chanhyuk takes for his solo work. There are tinges of the 80’s in a couple AKMU songs, but that’s never been a driving force in their music. Out Of My Mind feels like an extension of the textures…

JTBC’s upcoming “Beyond the Bar” has unveiled a glimpse into the intriguing dynamic between Lee Jin Uk and Jung Chaeyeon! “Beyond the Bar” is an office drama that follows Kang Hyo Min (Jung Chaeyeon), an upstanding and confident yet socially awkward rookie attorney at the law firm Yullim. Under the mentorship of Yoon Seok Hoon (Lee Jin Uk), a cold but exceptionally skilled partner attorney, Hyo Min gradually grows into a true lawyer as she navigates the challenges of the legal world. At Yullim, Yoon Seok Hoon and Kang Hyo Min work together as supervisor and subordinate, but their personalities…
