It is not confirmed or yes as to where rapper Zico from idol group Block B is leaving the group.
He has not decided to leave the group or so.

However his contract with Seven Season agency is coming to an end. Zico is always prepared to stand alone and perform solo. He has not made up final decision to leave or stay with his fellow members. Zico, who made his debut in 2011, ended his contract with his agency in November.

It is definitely rare for actor Jo In Sung to appear in variety shows. The viewers ratings shot up tremendously when he appeared in 1 Night 2 Days as Cha Tae Hyun's guest friend.

Song Ji Hyo, Park Shi Hoo in rom-com ghostly drama.

Park Shi Hoo returns to the screen after his big success return of drama My Golden Life.
This time, he is paired with Song Ji Hyo in the new romantic-comedy ghostly drama Lovely Horribly under KBS production.

I must say the first 2 episodes caught my attention and now I am totally hooked to it.
Park Shi Hoo plays the famous actor Yoo Phillip who has everything a man wants. Fame, wealth, career and women. Oh Eul Soon is a struggling drama script writer who went through riches to rags. Both of them share the same birth date however their fate twists when something happens. If Phillip enjoys his life, Eul Soon suffers.

A rookie PD Lee Sung Jung played by Lee Ki Kwang is Eul Soon's neighbour childhood friend. After Eul Soon's family went down, his family bought over their house and he has been keeping the place in good state hoping to show to her. Many years later, she couldn't recognize him at all. He was devastated to see that Eul Soon suffered so much. He learned that Phillip and Eul Soon must be sharing the fate.

In fact Phillip's mother who is a shawoman took over Eul Soon's destiny and lucky, transfering to her son. She left her home and went to look after Eul Soon after feeling guilty. Phillip has always been wondering why his mother left him. He learns from PD Lee that a strange mysterious strong spirit is wondering between the two of them. 

The other characters such as Writer Ki, Ra Yun and Yoon Ah are bit mysterious to my end.
They are somewhat connected to Phillip via jealousy, revenge and weird surroundings.
Yoon Ah is very possessed with Phillip while Ra Yun- the ghost is acting strange as she haunts around the two main leads. Writer Ki is such a meanie towards Eul Soon too.
I must say Phillip's two followers- his manager and Dong Man cracked me up. They are scaredy cats and scene stealers. His big manager is funny in a way as he wore 2 bulletproof vests in the middle of summer afraid being shot after Phillip been ambushed. LOL!

Lee Ki Kwang is being cute in all ways as the young rookie PD. He being the 2nd lead has definitely got my approval. I wish he would get his girl but somehow that's not the ending seems to be... 

Tug at heartstrings with My ID is Gangnam Beauty.

As JTBC's drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty is reaching the end, it is leaving viewers wondering how the ending is going to be. Whether it's going to be similar to the webtoon and will the main characters get a happy ending?

 First of all, I'd say it's not an overly fantastic drama. It's mostly played by idol singers and young rookie actors/actresses. However with Im Soo Hyang being the most veteran actress in the cast, she is definitely holding the drama on her shoulders as the timid and shy University chemistry major student, Kang Mi Rae who was once shun off by the society due to her looks. By undergoing plastic surgery, she thought her life would be better however she meets more problems in University when her rude seniors called her plastic monster. 




Nevertheless she meets her high school friend, Do Kyung Suk who is a handsome and most popular student at the same field. Kyung Suk has never laughed or looked down on Mi Rae despite her looks. Instead he carries a strange cold demeanour. He hardly talks to anyone due to his parent's divorce. Coming from a strong family background, he often lives in his own world and ignoring others. Meanwhile there's a senior graduate and teaching assistant, Woo Young who is gentle and sweet. Woo Young is nice towards Mi Rae and harbors feelings for her. Mi Rae's bestie, Hyun Jung being a pscyhology major keeps her one sided love for Woo Young. 

The cunning, scheming Soo Ah is perfect in all ways on the front but is very superficial. She kept pursuing on Kyung Suk for popularity and fame. She is cynical and pretends to be nice to Mi Rae. After being rejected many times by Kyung Suk, she gets on Mi Rae's nerves. 

The storyline is rather simple. The ratings were around mid 4-5% due to the private TV station. It is true that Astro's Cha Eun Woo is the main visual in this drama. He typically looks as if he is cut out from a Manga webtoon. Indeed I have to admit this fact. He just looks stunning in everyway even without any conversation. *swoons*.

The romance is a bit slow in this drama but it shows that Kyung Suk is not a hasty person and is giving Mi Rae a chance to open up. I have to say Kyung Suk's mom - CEO of Kelun is the coolest mother on earth. She finds herself happier after Mi Rae managed to have both her children at her side due to a misunderstanding. 

The lesson to learn from the drama? No matter how much one fix their appearance, it doesn't bring much happiness. It's one's personality and character that matters the most. Everyone will age at the end of the day. Beauty doesn't last forever. True beauty lies deep in one's character.
