Spring Love with KOCOWA!
A trio of Korean variety shows (“Love Me Actually,” “Don’t be Jealous,” “Love Naggers”) tackle the ins and outs of relationships.
Year: 2020
“Extracurricular” (인간수업)
“Extracurricular” shows so much promise early on, before meandering into a series of violent vignettes that water down the plot.
Go Away With … Matthew Morrison
Matthew Morrison’s already been on his dream trip. “It was my honeymoon and we went through Italy and Paris and then spent almost two weeks in Africa,” said the “Glee” actor.
“Hyena” (하이에나)
“Hyena” shows that being called the best doesn’t mean anything in the real world. The plot depicted South Korea’s insidious system of revering lineage as flawed (and stupid). And that referring to a human being as disposable — because they don’t hail from the proper background — depicts who exactly is the human garbage here.

Are You Ready for IU’s Comeback? Feat. BTS’ SUGA
Are you ready for IU’s comeback? The singer-songwriter recently collaborated with BTS’ Suga. She also has a new film in the works, starring opposite Park Seo-Joon.
Go Away With … Dorian Missick
“For Life” actor Dorian Missick says, “More than likely I would go for the street cart or food truck. Fancy dining is generally a community’s way of putting their best foot forward, which I like, too, but when you eat what the people usually eat, you learn so much more.”
“Train to Busan” (부산행)
“Train to Busan” does a great job at depicting how people deal with death during unthinkable times. When your loved one is infected and your only option is to perish (as human beings) with them or kill them so that you (and others) can survive, what would you do?
Cha Eun-Woo is the Newest “Master in the House”!
Astro’s Cha Eun-Woo has joined the cast of “Master in the House.” Are you watching?
“When the Weather Is Fine” (날씨가 좋으면 찾아가겠어요)
Park Min-Young and Seo Kang-Joon are both skilled actors, whose expressions convey the complicated emotions their characters have. Neither had an easy life and they are almost fearful of expecting — or even wanting — more than what they have.
Go Away With … Evy Poumpouras
“Adaptability is one of the most important elements to being a Secret Service special agent,” said Evy Poumpouras. “Although protecting the president was always the primary mission, I also needed to respect the culture and societal norms of the country I was in.”
“Running Man” Celebrates 500 Episodes! —
“Running Man,” which has been on air for almost 10 years, celebrated its 500th episode on April 26.
“Don’t be Jealous” of Hyerim and Shin Min-Chul!
Hyerim — formerly of the Wonder Girls — introduced her boyfriend of seven years to her fans. Shin Min-Chul isn’t an idol or actor. Rather, he’s a taekwondo champion.
Go Away With … Adam Rodriguez
“Italy is an unlikely choice given the current global health crisis,” said Adam Rodriguez. “But it’s my favorite place to vacation.”
Feel Better, So-Min!
