“My Holo Love” (나 홀로 그대)
What “My Holo Love” gets across is that people are lonely and long for human companionship.
Go Away With … Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman
“I was a massive Sci-Fi nerd as a kid and used to love “The X-Files,” says Jack Osbourne. “It was that show that got me into (the supernatural). I wanted to investigate like Fox Mulder.”
“Itaewon Class” (이태원 클라쓰)
“Itaewon Class” is one of those rare K-Dramas where I disliked both female leads for different reasons. But it just goes to show that a good series doesn’t need a loveline to hold the viewer’s interest.
“Suits” (슈츠)
The Korean adaptation of “Suits” is an exciting series that shows off Park Hyung-Sik’s acting range and beautifully expressive face.

Go Away With … Sarah Wayne Callies
“I’ve always loved Japan,” says “Council of Dads” actress Sarah Wayne Callies. “It’s ancient and modern at the same time, from the food, to the clothes, to the architecture. I stayed in a ryokan that had been in the same family for 16 generations and ate kaiseki dinner every night.”
“Jung Hae-In’s Travel Log”
Jung Hae-In’s adventures in New York are delightful to watch. Here’s hoping he does another season. I know his international fans would love to travel with him vicariously to explore South Korea next.
“Tunnel” (터널)
Like many of the characters in this series, Gwang-ho is a bit of an idiot. Instead of quietly sneaking up to nab the various culprits, he constantly yells out his plans to catch the 새끼/saekki (or son of a bitch), giving the aforementioned 새끼 plenty of time to escape.
Who is in Season 2 of “Kingdom”?
Before tucking into the new episodes of “Kingdom: Season 2,” let’s take a look at the roles that got Ju Ji-hoon and his co-stars to this point in their careers.
Go Away With … Jade Pettyjohn
“The Rise Festival in the Mojave Desert was one of the most magical experiences of my life,” says “Little Fires Everywhere” actress Jade Pettyjohn. “I went with a couple of my closest friends and we wrote our hopes, wishes and dreams on paper lanterns, ignited them and listened to the sweet sounds of RY X’s performance.”

International Women’s Day: The Actresses of “Parasite”
In honor of International Women’s Day, I wanted to give a shout out to the amazing actresses in Bong Joon-Ho’s film “Parasite.”
Go Away With … Nuseir Yassin
“I speak Arabic and Hebrew, they’re my main languages,” says Nuseir Yassin. “English was my third language and is my foreign language. I don’t think I pick up new languages too easily. I trained for over 10 years by speaking English repeatedly to myself, just to make sure that I didn’t have an accent.”
Suga, Bong Joon-Ho & Other Korean Celebs Donate to Fight Against Coronavirus
In an attempt to remain anonymous, Gong Yoo donated money to help fight coronavirus under his real name of Gong Ji-cheol. The star of the film “Train To Busan” was among a slew of Korean celebrities (including Suga from BTS) who gave money to help medical workers and those afflicted by the disease.
Being Held to a Higher Standard
Here’s the thing: Mistakes happen. Sometimes they’re our mistake. Sometimes the outlet inputs errors. Sometimes parts of the review or article are cut out due to space issues. It’s not the end of the world. And unless we specifically say that we hate your favorite member, just assume that we don’t, OK?
BTS Takes Over Late-Night With ‘Tonight Show,’ ‘Carpool Karaoke’ Appearances
BTS has done its share of guest spots that follow the standard routine: perform a song and then sit on the sofa chatting about what American food they like. But ever since their appearance last May on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” some American variety shows have gone out of their way to make things more unique.
Go Away With … Ellis Miah
“Anytime you hear the finished version of a song, it’s exciting,” says Ellis Miah, who co-wrote a song with BTS. “I think in any language, all the creators feel something special when they hear it. A song is more than lyrics. It’s melody and it’s emotion. While I don’t understand Korean, there is no mistaking the depth that V puts into this song.”
Team Dream vs. Handsome Tigers
There have been some really great K-Dramas that had baseball arcs in their storyline. Yoo Yeon-seok had the second male lead role in “Reply 1994,” where he played a baseball player. And Jung Hae-in played a college baseball player who was so handsome that Gong Yoo’s character was jealous of him in “Goblin.”
BTS’ “Map of the Soul: 7” Album Review
A breezy “Hey-na-na-na” precedes their declaration of nothing being able to “Hold me down/ ‘Cuz you know I’m a fighter” makes it obvious that, like this entire album, “ON” is an exhortation to their fans, but also homage to their own career.
