Why “The Veil” is One of 2021’s Most Highly Anticipated K-dramas
If you’re not watching “The Veil” yet, you should! Why? The plot, the cast, and the blockbuster feel (thanks to a whopping $13 million budget!) are just some of the reasons.
“Bring It On, Ghost” (싸우자 귀신아)
The series parable seems to be that if you have hate in your heart, you are susceptible to being influenced to hurt others, just because you can. “Bring It On, Ghost” started off as an uneven series. But once you get past the first couple episodes, it becomes a must-see K-drama that’s filled with action and a lot of heart.
Go Away With … Jocko Sims
Jocko Sims portrays Dr. Floyd Reynolds on the NBC medical series, “New Amsterdam.” An avid traveler, Sims said before he sets out to explore a new city or country, “I absolutely look up restaurants. I want to go to the best of the best, from very cheap to most expensive. What built the town or the culture? What place is impossible to get into? That floats my boat.”
“Penthouse: War in Life (Season 3)” (펜트하우스)
What started out as a compelling makjang series ended with a bloody mess, where vengeance wasn’t sweet. Rather, it took over the main characters’ lives to the point where they could see nothing else but hate.

“I love going down South to visit my mom’s side of the family,” said “General Hospital” star Sydney Mikayla. “My Grandma Tina always cooks up big meals. What can I say? I love to eat good soul food.

Why “Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo” is No. 1
What’s makes “Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo” the No. 1 viewed K-drama on KOCOWA? It’s the trifecta of cast, girl power and food!
“Kingdom: Ashin of the North” (킹덤: 아신전)
“Ashin of the North” is screenwriter Kim Eun-Hee’s concession to “Kingdom” fans, who are eagerly awaiting the third season of the popular Netflix series. This stand-alone episode — or film, depending on how you view it — is entertaining, but not nearly of the same caliber of storytelling as the first two seasons of this zombie period piece.
Go Away With … Beverley Huynh
“We were in Vietnam for six weeks and I got to see my parents’ childhood home, met family I didn’t know, and got to connect with my roots,” said “Van Helsing” costume designer Beverley Huynh. “It oddly felt like home.

Disappointed and bitter, Hae-Kang begrudgingly joins the badminton team — which his father coaches — on the condition that if the team wins a medal, his dad will get them Wi-Fi at their house.
Go Away With … Carra Patterson
“When I was three years old, my mom picked me up from daycare and surprised me with a trip to Disney World,” said “Turner & Hooch” actress Carra Patterson. “We were living in Florida at the time, so it was a short road trip for us.

Go Away With … Kentö
“You can hear these influences a lot in my music wrapped up in a little pop bow, of course,” said musician Kentö. “I grew up listening to singers from all over the world like Freddie Mercury, Ivete Sangalo, Ayumi Hamasaki and Sylvie Vartan. (They’re) very different artists, but all iconic voices that I tried to emulate growing up and, in my own way, shaped the style and tone of my voice today.”
Go Away With … Mayling Ng
“My father was a sailor from Singapore who met my mum in the United Kingdom,” said “The Suicide Squad” actress Mayling Ng. “(When I was a child), he took us to Singapore and it changed who I was and how I saw the world.

Le Méridien Clayton
Location. Location. Location! One of the reasons I wanted to stay at the Le Méridien Clayton was because it was so close to all the things I wanted to see.
“Rugal” (루갈)
As with Choi Jin-Hyuk’s previous police procedural, “Tunnel,” there are some convoluted plot issues that drag down “Rugal.” Choi is handsome and charismatic, but he can only do so much with so-so dialogue.
