Beloved actor Yoo Yeon Seok, known for his heartwarming characters, is ready to give you goosebumps in the upcoming K-Drama, "A Bloody Lucky Day."

Fans adore Yoo for his roles as a friendly doctor in "Hospital Playlist" and a loving baseball player in "Reply 1994." But now, get ready for a shocking transformation as he becomes a relentless serial killer in Tving's "A Bloody Lucky Day."

This transformation is a big deal, as the show has been selected for the "On Screen" section of the 28th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF).

In an exclusive look at his preparation for the role, Yoo revealed that he studied real-life psychopaths. He learned from them during a special Guest Visit event in Busan.

Yoo Yeon Seok explained, "I noticed that actual psychopaths have sharp, focused eyes when they speak. I aimed to bring that cold simplicity to my portrayal, capturing their directness and clarity."

The series, based on a beloved webcomic, centers around Oh Taek, a taxi driver played by Lee Sung Min. Oh's day seems lucky after a dream involving a pig, a symbol of good luck. He has a string of fares promising good earnings.

However, as night falls, his last passenger, Hyuk Soo, played by Yoo, offers a large sum for a long trip. What starts as a normal ride takes a dark turn when Oh realizes he's trapped with a murderer.

For Yoo, this series came at the right time, as he was eager to explore darker roles.

Yoo Yeon Seok said, "While filming a medical series, I wanted to diversify my portfolio. This script came my way, and the webcomic got me hooked on the character."

Tving's gripping series will be available for streaming in November. So, K-Drama fans, get ready for suspense, drama, and exceptional performances!

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
