Oh, and this is the year for that Telecinema project. Yay!
Two big 'avoid' dramas for me though - Tamra the Island (God, no, just looking at the posters make me gag!) and Smile - it stars Jun Pyo's fiance from Boys Over Flowers and the moment I watch anything with her in the leading role hell will freeze over - she was a horrible actress in a horrible role and just the thought of looking at her face enrages me.
