Who is Yang Do Hyeok in the Korean Drama ‘Nevertheless’?

If anyone here is watching the current hit K-drama ‘Nevertheless’, you should be like me who can’t help myself but fall in love with the warm and gentleman ‘Do-hyeok’ in the drama!

Netflix and JTBC’s romance drama ‘Nevertheless’ is a webtoon remake series which tells the stories of a university couple who are attracted to each other but are skeptical about love, owing to their past relationships. Park Jae Eon (by Song Kang) was perceived as a ‘flower boy’ who loves to interact with girls but dare not to be committed in real relationships. Yoo Na-bi (by Han So Hee) was so loved with Jae Eon but always pulled back because of trust issues with Jae Eon.

Towards the middle of the story, a new male character Do Hyeok joined in the chemistry making a scene of love triangle. Do-hyeok character is in contrast with Jae Eon, which he loves Na-bi since high school and serious about being in relationship with Na-bi.

Fans are really loving Do Hyeok the character as he is definitely a boyfriend material who is loyal and kind to the girl he loved. He definitely wins my heart during the Episode 6 when Nabi met him back in hometown.

How can Na-bi not fall in love with the little cute puppy looking boy!

The story continues even though Do Hyeok was ‘rejected’ by Na-bi when he was trying to confess his feeling to her one night, simply because it’s the wrong timing (after having an argument with Jae Eon). Will Do Hyeok become a real man in the eyes of Na-bi after that? Let us watch until the end of the drama!

Don’t be sad, Do Hyeok! I will get that flower!

So who is ‘Do Hyeok’ really in real life?

Many don’t know about him until this drama! His name is Chae Jong Hyeop from Seoul. He debuted as an actor since 2017 in a webtoon television series and also made his appearance in the popular drama Sisyphus: The Myth! Before he was debuted as an actor, he is a model as he actually graduated with Fashion Model Art in Seoul Arts College.

With that height of his and great appearance, it is not surprise he was a model before! However, he is now committed to the acting industry under the agency of YNK Entertainment with other popular actors and actress like Shin Hae Sun and Kim In Kwon.

This character of ‘Do-Hyeok’ really suits his concept as a sunny and caring boyfriend, which somehow reminds me of Han Jipyeong in Start Up! Second lead syndrome can be serious in some dramas~ But let us remember Jong Hyeop this name and give him more attention by waiting his new drama with another fresh character!

He also made appearance as a character in the new drama ‘The Witch Dinner’ with Song Ji-Hyo! Do catch him up in that drama as well!

As the drama ‘Nevertheless’ almost come to an end, we really hope it’s a nice ending for Jae Eon, Na-bi and even Do-hyuk!

Park Jae Eon in the recent Netflix K-drama, Nevertheless has been a ‘hot topic’ among the drama fans of how ‘smart’ this guy in playing feelings of the girls, especially towards Na-bi, the female lead. Despite of the fact that he is an ultimate ‘playboy’, we can’t deny his visuals. I mean who won’t fall…

[K-Drama] Netflix’s Move to Heaven: 17-year-old Half Malaysian Actor Tang Jun Sang as The Main Lead Geu Ru with Asperger’s Syndrome

Netflix’s new original Korean drama series, ‘Move to Heaven’ was finally premiered yesterday, releasing all 10 episodes available in Netflix now! After all, I just realized the main lead of the drama is a half Malaysian Korean actor!

‘Move to Heaven’ tells a story about ‘trauma cleaners’ who help the deceased to clean out their premise and kept those important items for their families. The main character, Geu Ru is a young man with complex mentality syndrome, called the Asperger’s Syndrome. The business was managed by his father who actually died of heart attack, leaving Geu Ru and after that with his uncle Sang Gu to continue the business.

About The Actor who Play as Geu Ru, the Special Boy

Not much people might know this, the rising actor Tang Jun Sang who was also casted in ‘Crash Landing On You’ as one of the four ‘North Korean’ soldiers alongside Ri Jung Hyuk, is actually much closely related to us, the Malaysians!

Malaysians are always proud of our talented bloods overseas, for example the actor Henry Golding from Crazy Rich Asians and The Conjuring movie series film director James Wan. Well, Tang Jun Sang revealed himself to the media that his father is a Malaysian Chinese married to her Korean mother. No wonder, there’s something different about him when I saw him in the drama (hehe, I’m proud).

About the main character of this drama, Geu Ru is indeed a very special character in the story. He was born as a special child under the lovely care of his single father (played by Ji Jin Hee). They both work together as trauma cleaners, while his father values this job very much as a connection of the deceased with their families. Geu Ru is a young boy with difficulties in expressing his thoughts and feelings. He talked like a ‘robot’, but he has fantastic memory and a special instinct to understand ‘creatures’ (watch the aquarium scene in Ep. 1). As a rising 17-year-old actor, Tang Jun Sang definitely nailed the character with those details like gesture, eye contact and speech behavior.

Referring to a five-minute scene in the series where Geu-ru names all the many living aquatic animals in a public aquarium, director Kim said: “He made no mistake and we filmed that scene in just one take. He is a genius actor.”

The Star

Speaking of the whole story itself is quite unique, as it’s not something common for us even to hear about ‘trauma cleaners’ in Malaysia. I did ‘Google Search’ if this job is ‘real’ and I found out indeed there are people work to offer cleaning services after murders, suicides and unattended deaths in private homes (click here to read more). As I’ve only watch the first episode, but many scenes have brought me goosebumps, not because of horror, but you can just connect yourself with the drama so much, especially when they are praying for the deceased before they started the cleaning.

김선우님, 2020년 4월 11일 사망하셨습니다. 저희는 무브 투 헤븐의 한정우, 한그루입니다. 지금부터 김선우 님의 마지막 이사를 시작하겠습니다.
Kim Seon Woo, you have deceased on 11/4/2020. We are Move To Heaven Han Jeong Woo, Han Geu Ru. We will now start your last move out (from the house).

Move To Heaven, EP 1

The Popular Actor Lee Je Hoon Played as The ‘Best Partner’ for Geu Ru

To be honest, I am not very familiar with this actor Lee Je Hoon, but apparently he grabbed many attentions from the viewers in hit dramas like Taxi Driver and Signal (which both I didn’t manage to watch). According to Hellokpop, he has challenged in many diverse characters in different dramas, from a tenor in Mr. Paparotti to a investigative figure in Signal. But he definitely is a good looking actor, follow his Instagram account and you will know it!

Lee Je Hoon played as Sang Gu is the drama, who is the uncle of Geu Ru. He just done his jail sentence as his brother passed away. Sang Gu soon became the guardian of Geu Ru, and took up the job of Move to Heaven with him. Although he was not much interested to the job in the beginning, but soon he understood why Geu Ru remained his motivation to take up the job. Sang Gu and Geu Ru eventually became close to each other by tolerating with their huge difference in personality. Definitely a sweet bromance to expect along the drama.

Well, not even curious of this drama now? Stream all episodes now in Netflix and remember to get some popcorn for a binge watch!

What Upcoming K-Dramas that You Should Really Wait For in March/April 2021 #Navillera #SongKang #JoseonExorcist #GreatRealEstate

Are you just like me who is constantly waiting for new K-dramas to your bucket list even though you have a bunch of dramas yet to be cleared?

K-drama production team have never disappointed us, because new drama teasers from my Facebook feed and my Netflix email of ‘What’s Coming Soon…’ have all such new and interesting stories! Let me briefly showed you three K-dramas that we worth waiting for March and April this year!

Navillera | 나빌레라 (March 22)

Do you have a dream to be a ballerina? Navillera tells a journey of a retired 70-year-old harabeoji to achieve his long life dream to be a ballet dancer. Asian society is very stereotype on male dancers especially with ballet, as something that is more feminine. But truly, ballet is a beautiful art beyond gender and age as what is implicated in this drama.

Current hit young actor, Song Kang really love all his fans. After Sweet Home and Love Alarm 2, he kept appeared on our screen with his amazing actors in different characters. From a gloomy high school student who attempted suicide in Sweet Home, to transform into a handsome, rich boyfriend material in Love Alarm, then now, a professional ballet dancer.

According to Soompi, Navillera is actually a remake of a popular webtoon with the same name! A webtoon version of the drama poster was also released, and the production team definitely have found the right men for these characters!

I really can’t wait to see how the story goes and I really hope harabeoji can get to achieve his dream in the end. I’m expecting to cry a lot for this drama. Remember to stay tune for this drama which will be aired starting 22 March 2021 in tvN and Netflix!

Let us see some pictures taken of the cast during the press release!

Joseon Exorcist | 조선구마사 (March 22)

When ‘exorcist’ comes into my mind, my first impression was the cross and fathers in churches. But this drama will bring us another version of the ordinary exorcist horror movies that we watched. Joseon Exorcist tells a fantasy story about a battle of exorcism to protect the people during Joseon dynasty against evil spirits who are drawn to human ambition and greed. In most Korean dramas, evil spirits drawn to people more if they have a stronger desire of greed, power and hatred.

According to Soompi (again, because they are the best), the demons who invaded the humans could control one’s mind that might look like zombies. These evil spirits have a great ambition, is to infiltrate whole of Joseon. Therefore, as King Taejong (by Kam Woo-sung) he fought to seal the evil spirits away to protect his nation of Joseon.

Jang Dong Yoon grabbed fans attention as a charismatic prince in this drama. I bet all of you might have met this talented actor from popular dramas School 2017 and Tale of Nokdu. As the Prince Chungnyeong who was initially an academician in the drama, he learnt to fight for his people in bloods and tears through real wars.

Stay tune to this chilly horror dramas from SBS production starting March 22 at 10 p.m. KST!

Great Real Estate | 대박부동산 (14 April)

What! Another exorcist related drama? “Great Real Estate” or in Korean Daebak Real Estate is casted by the legendary actress Jang Na Ra and band idol Jung Yong Hwa! Jang Na Ra is an exorcist in this drama who runs a real estate which find haunted properties to chase away the spirits; while Jung Yong Hwa is a con-artist who used ghosts to get his business done. Both of them met and work together to unveil a secret. Well, I’m kinda curious how the stories will go now!

Both of these casts were among my favorite. I love Jang Na Ra as an actress (besides that her natural beauty), especially in the drama “The Last Empress”. That drama was so addicting with all those dramatic palace conflicts and she definitely nailed the character, with her experience in acting and that personal charm!

And of course the idol leader of the popular K-pop band of CNBLUE, Yong-Hwa! Despite of his great singing skills, he has been developing in the acting industry since 2009 in You’re Beautiful! After 4 years, he came back as a handsome con-artist and I guess all the Boice can’t wait to meet their idol in the small screen again!

Daebak Real Estate will be aired very soon on 14 April 2021 and remember to catch their chemistry in KBS!

Let’s watch their first reading of the drama!

All the fans are you ready for more Korean dramas in this spring? Remember to stay tune in MyDaehan for more updates!

Best Scenes (so far) of Vincenzo #songjoongki #netflix #kdrama

I’m seriously in craze of the recent Netflix (tvN) K-drama series, Vincenzo casted by the once charming soldier from Descendants of Sun, Song Joong-ki, beautiful charismatic actress, Jeon Yeo-bin and the hottest idol in 2PM, Ok Taec-yeon. The drama tells a story of an Italian Korean lawyer, Vincenzo Cassarano (casted by Song Joong-ki) who once worked in the Mafia as the consigliere (law advisor) in Milano, Italy. He came back to Korea, the place he was born and met a justice lawyer who helped to defend real innocent people. Throughout the story, Vincenzo was trying to achieve justice in his own way, protecting the goods one by fighting with the villain in the villain’s way, like the favorite lines in the drama in Italian, un diavolo scaccia l’altro ‘a devil punishes another devil’.

We can’t just get enough of Vincenzo sexy and charming looks with his expensive suits, posh watch, lay-back hair, perfect look, lean physique and deep Italian accent. In here, I pointed out so far the best scenes in Vincenzo that I just wanna replay them everyday!

Setting the whole vineyard in fire 🔥

Vincenzo started the drama in a very villain way already. As the ‘second person’ of a mafia (bad guys) gang, he kept things short and simple, yet ‘explosive’ consequences. Well, maybe burning a whole vineyard is only level 1 for Vincenzo to be his things ‘done’ and delivering the message ‘don’t mess with me even though I look sexy’.

Vincenzo later in the episode also set an expensive car into fire, as a ‘warning’ / ‘don’t mess with me’ to his ‘brother’ in the mafia family. It’s really lucky for that guy as Vincenzo chose not to burn him together with the car.

Vincenzo (in 💦) and the showerhead 🚿

Fans can’t handle much of these ‘hotness’ and ‘wetness’ from Vincenzo! He really struggle a lot to adapt himself in this shabby building with bad water system. But we should be grateful, as the bad shower makes the overall showering session with Vincenzo to be more ‘memorable’ than usual. 🙂

Does anyone think the orchestral music behind this scene is so matchy with Vincenzo reactions towards the shower?

Vincenzo cursing in Italian for (very long time) 😠

Cazzo! I’m not really sure how to curse in Italian correctly, but Vincenzo really teaches a lot of fans to ‘curse’ in the first episode! Song Joong-ki just sounded really like an Italian (for non-Italian speakers like us) and I’m really impressed on how much effort he has been putting in to master the character.

It’s not sick at all to listen Vincenzo speaking Italian for 3 minutes straight, it could be a very good lullaby to me!

Vincenzo ‘party’ instinct that saved the building 🍷

The mall tenants were worried as the notification of the building getting ‘bulldozed’ hit them. They were trying to find ways if they can prevent the destruction from happening (at least not that soon), and I have never expected Vincenzo could come out with this brilliant idea! I think the inspiration of the partying idea is from the Instagram he was scrolling that time. 🙂 And those glass cheering shots viral-ing in Instagram!

Vincenzo and his ‘high food standard’ 🍝

We all know Vincenzo is a very high standard gentleman with excellent taste of fashion, attitude and of course, food! I think he only ate Michelin level foods back in Italy, and using this standard to evaluate a menu cooked by a humble (only Mr. Potato looking) chef are indeed ‘harsh’. Well, he still pays him every time, but what a chef often needs, is the respect.

I really enjoy this drama so much, because the story is very new, combining Italian aspects and the ‘dark hero’ concept in Vincenzo. I can’t wait to see the chemistry of Vincenzo and the female lead, Hong Cha-young as we might be expecting some ‘Italian boyfriend’ standard over here!
