Love Scout (2025) Episode 1-2 review

I wasn't okay when I found out that Lee Jun Hyuk played another romance drama because it has been so looong. Anyway, here is my review for the first two episodes.

This is an office romance drama where the stereotypes are switched between the female lead and male lead. The male lead as "the perfect secretary" and the female lead as "the cool and perfectionist CEO". I love it.

CEO Kang is introduced as a perfect CEO but bad at everything else. She can remember hardly anything from outside of her work, barely eat, barely sleep. She has a temper and nitpicking in everything. Deep inside, she is broken and burrying her pain with work.

Secretary Yu Eun Ho is first introduced as a hardworker person who got relentlessly bullied in his workplace because simply he put his daughter as priority more than his work. He is good-natured, patient, quick learner and fatally handsome. He has his own share of problems (regarding his daughter, mostly) but he is a strong (single) dad who is going to do anything for his daughter.

The first introduction of the CEO Kang and Yu Eun Ho was simply, a mess. It was realistically a mess. There is not unrealistic quirky funny first meet, but what happened between them were understandable. With Yu Eun Ho messed up CEO Kang's work and vice versa, but it happened because they have different values in life.

What I really like from this drama is how quite realistic the plot woven out. Kdramas tend to be quirky and unrealistic in many ways. Not that this drama doesn't have it, but how the slow burn between the two main characters aren't as unrealistic as other romcoms.

I love that the Yu Eun Ho isn't overly prideful like the usual male leads. He learned his mistake and put effort to be better. He is such a quick-learner, it is almost scary, but it is good that we get to see the process of how he become "the perfect secretary".

CEO Kang is also a really good and realistic FL. I love that despite her dislikeness toward Eun Ho, she doesn't try to bully him like how Eun Ho's previous boss did. She has a tough exterior because of her dark past, but she doesn't abuse her authority to her employees just because she can. If she does, it is regarding work, not because she venting out her sour mood. And again, it is good to see her not being overly prideful (her dislikesness toward Eun Ho is justified) and actually started to acknowledge him.

The romance is there, sometimes maybe a bit out of place (the slow motion scene and sudden zooming in) because these two characters shouldn't have any feeling for each other first. I think it will be better to pace it slower as slow burn rather than forcing them to have sexual tension with each other randomly. But, other than that, I have no complaint.

Oh one more thing. I love how so many people swooning at Eun Ho, because... believe it or not, in other dramas, Lee Jun Hyuk is mostly treated as an average man (which is unbelieveable with Korea's beauty standard). In real life, people swoon at him, so it is so fresh and funny to finally see it in his drama.

Eun Ho took a break to take care of his daughter. He understood his daughter needed the love and care and took that step. And his superior made his office life hell for that. He should have quitted before that unfair dismissal but given his attitude he would never have taken that step. Hoping that bully gets his due soon.

The very first episode and we're very well aware of our leads personalities. He's a man of action, gentle and competent. She's a woman of action, apparently angry and strict but deep down broken.

He has the experience of caring for a loved one and she needs caring for.

Okay this is somehow very much like Crash course in romance, just genderbended and I love the premise already.

Also it's bright and cozy and so soft. The instrumentals are so soothing.

This gonna serve what the streets call Healing Romance I believe.

She wanted to be Spiderman when she was a kid, and even put glue on her hands. Now she's all grown up and putting shame on my face.

Omg Double Date 😭💘❤️

[angelsvoice1love]

A dark attraction (pt 1)

You tried reaching for the book, that was stacked high in the book store, you stood on your tip toes and that didn't help either. Then you felt a chest press up against your back and a hand reach for the book.

Man: Here you go, Miss.

Y/n: Oh...thank you. You replied, with a smile.

Nodding, he turned away to walk away, but you stopped him by grabbing onto his arm.

Y/n: Um...i know I just met you, and it might seem strange to ask but would you like to have coffee with me? I just moved here from America, and you just helped me so...i though it would be only a gesture of showing my gratitude.

Man: Ah...well, I think a coffee would be nice. I'm Seong Yun-o.

Y/n: I'm y/n l/n. Nice to meet you.

Smiling you purchased your book and walked to the nearest coffee show with Yun-o, smiling you didn't know what to do or what to talk about with the guy that you just met.

Yun-o: What made you move to Seoul?

Y/n: My job. They transfered me, to our company here in Seoul.

Yun-o: What is it you do for a living.

Y/n: I'm a fashion designer and a author. And you? You asked, taking a sip of your coffee.

Yun-o: I'm and Architectural designer.

Y/n Wow, that's fascinating. We are looking for someone to design a building for the new property we bought. C...could I have your number? Only if it's not to forward in me asking, it's strickly for business. You said, swallowing hard, and taking another sip of your coffee.

Yun-o: Hahaha, here. This is my business card, and this...is my phone number. I'd like to stay in contact, you seem like a nice person and what harm would it be to get to know more people in Seoul?

Y/n: I guess. Thanks. You smiled, as you bit your lip. I...i should go it's getting late, and I still need to unpack at my apartment.

Yun-o: Do you need a ride? Instead of calling a taxi.

Y/n: I...um...i don't think that'll be a bad thing.

Yun-o: Great. Let's go.

Driving you home, the drive was silent, slightly uncomfortable and yet at the same time felt normal to you. Once you reached the apartment, you saw walking to your side after you got out and smiled down at you.

Yun-o: I would really like to know you better, that's if you wouldn't care about that. He said taking your hand in his, rubbing your knuckles with his thumb.

Y/n: Would...would you like to...mmm, have dinner here tomorrow night? You asked, as you looked down at your hands.

Yun-o: I'd like that. He replied, letting go of your hand, as he walked backwards. See you, tomorrow night. He gave a beautiful alluring smile, and got in his car.

Once you entered the building, Yun-o pulled out his phone and opened his Somebody app. Scrolling through the girl that were interested in him. Smirking he found a girl, and started chatting to her and arranged to meet her tonight. Giving an evil smile, he drove off preparing things for tonight.

As he arrived at the hotel she was staying at, he knocked on the door and was welcomed by the oyung women.

Baya: Hi, please come inside. She Siad, as she moved aside for him to enter.

Yun-o: Why did you want to meet at a hotel, instead of your home?

Baya: My roommate is there, she's only leaving for England the end of the week and since it's Monday I thought it'll be more private.

Yun-o: Does anyone know your here?

Baya: No. And I even booked this room, under a false name and payed cash. It makes this more interesting, don't you think? She asked Yun-o, as she took of his shirt. Meeting in secret, like to people who are forbidden to see one another. Baya said, as she licked his neck.

Yun-o sat on the couch as Baya took off her clothes, nothing but her underwear consealing her. Yun-o smirked as she took off his pants and shirt throwing it to the side. Kissing his chest Baya straddled his lap and started grinding against him, as she moaned hin his neck as she was sucking on his skin.

Yun-o kissed Baya, on the chest as his hands traveled under her bra pushing it off her and sucking on the soft flesh of her collerbone. Moaning in pure ecstasy, Baya grinded harder on Yun-o making him groan in delight. Lifting her from him, he placed her on the couch and revomed both their underwear and started to have sex with her. Baya, pulled him close as she held tightly onto his strong broad shoulders and yelled as they finished.

Looking up at him, she smiled, at Yun-o. Yun-o gave her a psychotic smile and started to hold her mouth and nose shut. Once she was dead, he carried her to the bathroom and placed her down in water as he injected her arm with drugs making it look like an overdose. After getting dressed, he smoothly walked out of the hotel and didn't get noticed at all, when he entered his car he got a ping from his phone and saw you sent him a message. Smirking, he opened up the message, and read it.

*Message*

Y/n:Hi Yun-o, I wanted to know what would you like to eat for dinner out of three options. 1- sweet and sour pork, with fried rice, kimchi and stir fry, 2- hotpot with all the trimmings or 3- takeout?

Yun-o: I'd enjoy anything. But if I'd be honest, I'd love option 1.

Y/n: Option 1 it is😊.

Yun-o: Counting down the minutes and hours, I'm so exited to have dinner with you🌸.

Y/n: Bye, see you then.

Yun-o: Bye.

*End of chat*

Time skip to next day

You sat across from Yun-o, watching as he ate his food that you made. His eyes closed, as he swallowed the food, smiling at you as he looked your way.

Yun-o: This is delicious. You should've been a chef. He laughed, as you shrugged.

Y/n: I did study to be a chef too. But I'm just helping my friend for now. I guess later I'll move out of the fashion industry, and open my own restaurant.

Yun-o: I'd definitely come eat there all the time.

Y/n: Really? You asked, raising your brow.

Yun-o: Yes. He said, as he stood up waling over to you. He turned your chair, and licked your lips.

You opened your mouth in response to his action, and felt his warm tongue gliding into your mouth. His tongue swirled around your mouth, as he drop to his knees and felt him push your legs apart. Pulling his tongue out of your mouth, he swallowed and smiled.

Yun-o: You tast delicious. He said, as he rubbed his thumb over your lips.

You didn't say anything as you felt his hand moving to your skirt. Pulling it off as you lifted yourself slightly off the chair. You felt his lips connect to your ankles, moving his way up your legs. Your breath hitched in your throat, but as soon as he got closer to your private area, you pulled his head up.

Y/n: STOP. You said fast, as you pulled his face up. We...we only just met yesterday.

Yun-o: That doesn't matter. He said, kissing your knee when you stopped him again.

Y/n: I...i don't...Yun-o, I really like you.

Yun-o: I like you too. He said, rubbing his hands on your legs making you shiver.

Y/n: T...that's...mmm-No. You held onto his hand, and looked into his eyes. I like you since I met you, I felt connected to you in a way that I've never felt before with anyone. I felt that I could...i could feel safe with you around. You said, as he smirked.

Yun-o: Really? If you feel that way, why won't you allow me to carry on?

Y/n: I...i don't know. I just, haven't been with a man since my divorce.

Yun-o: You were married? He asked, as you placed your hands on his shoulders. What happened.

Y/n: I...i caught him cheating on me. We were only married two weeks.

Yun-o: How did you find out?

Y/n: Our honeymoon. You said, looking at him.

You both started laughing, as you said that. Shaking your head you placed your hand on his cheek, stroking it softly.

Y/n: I guess I'm just...scared of getting hurt again. So, that's why I can't do this. I'm sorry.

Yun-o: What gives you the idea, that I'll hurt you? You can trust me. He said, as he kissed your foread, right eye, nose, cheek and lips.

Yun-o softly kissed you as he moved forward slightly, as his hand held onto your neck you could feel the strong hold he had on your neck which made it feel safe. You placed your hands on his shoulders as you reciprocated the kiss, this felt different, this felt like it was right. Throwing your arms around his shoulders, you felt Yun-o pick you up carrying you to bedroom. Breathing in, you watched as he took off his shirt, and pants leaving him in only his black fit underwear. Sitting up, you took off your shirt looking eyes with his as he hovered over you connecting your lips. Yun-o hand traveled up your stomach to your chest, as he messaged it causing you to moan.

Y/n: Yun-o-

Yun-o: Mmm. He hummed, as he started sucking on your neck.

Y/n: I...ugh... You cut yourself off as you turned your head lightly and sucked on his neck causing him to groan.

Yun-o pulled back and stood up taking off his underwear and yours. Now you were both completely naked, Yun-o slowly put on his condom and pushed himself in as he kept eye contact. You nodded your head, telling him you were ready which he instantly took as a go.

He started off with slow, steady movements and caressed your skin as he pushed into you. Yun-o, flipped you over making you stradle him and bounce ontop of him. He smirked up at you as he saw the sweat forming on your face, and how your face would change out of pure pleasure. Sitting up, Yun-o held onto you and moved to the edge of the bed with you still on his lap. He pulled you by the waist whispering in your ear, that he wanted you to bounce faster on him. Doing so, you ft strange since you hadn't had sex like this before, or even had sex after your diver two years ago...this felt amazing it felt different and normal to you. It felt as though it was an experiment that you wanted to try, yet something that's so natural to many people. As you thought about these things, Yun-o placed his mouth on your nipple and started sucking it causing you to feel even hotter than before, he licked his way up and sucked on your collerbone as he reached your mouth he connected you both with a kiss.

You started moaning in the kiss, breathing heavily as his tongue fought with yours for dominance. Holding him closer, you both bounced faster, and harder into each other making your curl your arms around him and his run your hands in his hair.

Y/n: Yun-o....agh...ahh...y...yes...ah

Yun-o: Mm...ah...ugh...just like that. F...faster.

After a few more second you both came, and you collapsed against his chest. Breathing heavily Yun-o could feel your chest rise and fall against his,lifting you off him he took off the condom and threw it in the bin. Walking over to you he got into your bed laying next yto you. You both were facing each other and he pulled you closer, as he kissed you forehead, you laid your head between his chest and neck.

Y/n: This feels nice. You whispered at the warm feeling of his body holding yours.

You fell asleep after saying that, and Yun-o looked down at you and thought to himself. There was no way he could kill you. There was something about you that was different than the others, you were hurt too, you've been cheated on, had to change your whole life and you were to afraid to even do this until he convinced you otherwise. He felt sincerety towards you, he was completely drawn to you. He wanted to protect you, and not kill you, he wanted to learn how to cook with you and have sex with you all over your apartment and more.

Could be that one person that he felt worth living?

DRAMA REVIEW | Perfect Marriage Revenge (2023)

There’s an argument to be made about how Perfect Marriage Revenge had a perfect execution because it was a 12 episodes long drama and didn’t waste time for unnecessary conflicts. Everything took its right time and was resolved in a cohesive way with the characters development.

Both leads were compelling and had amazing chemistry, but the secondary characters were equally interesting to watch. All the performances outstanding and you can tell the actors are enjoying themselves in their respective roles.

On a story about a woman looking for revenge against her own family, this kdrama had a perfect balance between makjang and romcom. Making it an easy and fun watch. I highly recommend it!

My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)

Director: Kim Jang Han

Writer: Choi Ah Il

Mini-review:

Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.

K-Pop Playlist: Compelling Comebacks

Usually during the lead up to the Kpop music awards season, Kpop artists slow down and take a breather. But I’ve just had a peak at the upcoming comeback schedule, and we best be prepared — there is a TON of new music headed our way! These past couple of weeks have also gifted us fantastic music drops. Today’s batch of songs features addictive melodies that grab on and don’t let go. Curious?!…
