TODAY’S WEBTOON
Today’s Webtoon is one of the popular mangas that you wished would get an adaptation. It is finally here! The manga adaptation, written by Naoko Matsuda, would star the stunning Kim Se Jeong, Daniel Choi and Nam Yoon Soo. It revolves around the talented Judo athlete, Ma -Eum who had to bid farewell to her Judo career due to an unfortunate injury. Transitioning from athlete life to corporate life, she got a job at a webtoon’s editorial department where her life becomes more interesting. The drama will start airing on July 29.
GOOD DETECTIVE 2
The Good Detective 2 is that crime drama television series you would want to watch when you are in a rut. It tells the stories of two polar opposite detectives – one old and realistic detective who uses experiences and personal connections to solve a case (played by Son Hyun Joo) and the other young and elite detective who uses criminal minds and scientific truth to solve cases. Their lives would get more messier and more interesting if you add the passionate reporter played by Lee Elijah. This drama is set to air on July 30.
