Intriguing
Yoongi's next guest is Lee Sung Kyung, She appeared in Cheese in the Trap (2016), Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo (2016), Dr Romantic 2 (2020) & Dr Romantic 3 (2023).
All normal stuff for a chat show until you hear how they talk to each other. It's obvious that they know each other well. They are part of the same friend group (the subtitles call them Suga's cheering squad) with Suga being the baby of the group. The baby that the group thinks should take up acting!!!!!!!!
So who are the older members of this mysterious friend group? Of course it's difficult to get reliable and up to date information from an internet search but Lee Sung Kyung is said to be good friends with her Cheese in the Trap co-star Kim Go Eun.
Her friendship with Lee Jong Suk has also been commented upon many times in the media. He even made a cameo in her show Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo.
Lee Jong Suk and IU were outed as a couple by Dispatch in December 2022. They had been friends for years but had apparently only been dating a few months at the time. I'm not sure of the current status of their relationship but let's assume they are still together.
And as we know there is a direct relationship between IU and Suga. They bicker like siblings and have a shared commitment to making good music.
So I'm imagining Suga out on the town with Lee Sung Kyung, Kim Go Eun, Lee Jong Suk and IU. We could maybe throw in IU's mate Yoo In Na and Lee Jong Suk's mate Kim Woo Bin and that's a dinner party I'd really like to attend.
Looking forward to seeing the whole episode next Monday.

Rewatching Goblin and thinking about how the death of a centuries-old god lies in the hands of a small, unlucky girl.
How he looks at her with age old eyes that hint at I-have-seen-it-all-nothing-can-surprise-me and yet we see him surprised and flustered by her. We see him at her mercy. She is the love of his life. She is his life and death. The irony in the fact that she lives because he saved her and her mother but he has to die at her hands. His strength in being able to carry that. She is so so young, he is so old. She has poisonous relatives who wish her ill. He makes it rain when he is sad. He has seen the entire world and then some. She is laughably young and lost. And yet. Somehow. They manage to save each other. No matter how briefly.
This young misery-befallen, persevering, surprising girl. With an uncertain future. With no where to go. This old lonely guardian god who keeps serving his punishment. And both of them living, in spite of it all. And both of them of them, finding each other, precisely because of it all.

HOMME FATALE
GENRES: Historical, Romance, Comedy
SUMMARY: A gisaeng’s son turns the profession upside down and finds a little unrequited love in the process.
THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Nudists, effortless charm, guilt, duty, monks, dancing, listening, bookstores, Thailand dreams, Joseon courtship, reluctant marriages, arson, perfect portraiture, and empowerment.
HOT TAKE: I was expecting this to be a strait up drama and was delightfully surprised that it also had a heaping helping of Lee Jun Ho charm and humor! Goodness is he just the best or what?
This movie also dove deep into the disastrous pitfalls of striving for the status of 'virtuous woman,' having fun in safe spaces, and supporting each other despite all odds.
An excellent watch--highly recommended!

The first weekend without AOS & I don’t know what to do with my life… every other drama is boring after this masterpiece came out. Now I’m empty ㅜㅜ
I love jang uk/cho yeong aka jae wook & youn jung 😩❤️🔥
They are literally made for each other, their chemistry on and off stage is impactful 🥺🔥🐢
