Lee Joo Young is having a memorable year. The actress tasted success after she starred in Itaewon Class.

Last week, K-drama and K-movie enthusiasts got to see their favourite stars under the same roof during the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards, which is considered as Korea's equivalent of the Oscars. From Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin of Crash Landing on You to Park Seo-joon and Kim Di-ma of Itaewon Class, fans were blessed to see all the popular celebrities that they adore.

One of the most fascinating aspects of K-dramas that draws the viewers in and sinks its teeth into their fictional imaginations is the chemistry shared between the leads. Whether it be, Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo in Descendants of the Sun or Gong Yoo or Kim Go-eun in Goblin - The Lonely and Great God, there are iconic onscreen couples who we love to obsess over.

As though we don't adore the Wooga Squad enough, BTS singer V has given us another reason to shower the gang with love. For the unversed, the friends' group includes Bangtan Boy Kim Taehyung, Itaewon Class star Park Seo Joon, Korean artist Peakboy, Parasite actor Choi Woo Shik, and singer Park Hyun Sik.

In the recent few months, there have been some extremely dark shows that have surfaced on OTT. While we're confined to our homes, on lockdown mode due to the coronavirus pandemic, we want some major relaxation from the harsh reality.

When 2020 began, there was a slew of series and actors that K-drama fans were looking forward to. While Hyun Bin had an early start to the year with Crash Landing On You releasing in December 2019 and premiering its mid-season episodes during the turn of the decade, there was Lee Min Ho, seated on his majestic white horse waiting to charge his way back into the small screen after he finished his military training.

K-dramas have always been a rage but over the past few years, the fandom for these shows has risen by numbers exponentially with the inclusion of international fans. Especially during the quarantine period, many people have been relying on these shows to get a sense of distraction from the harsh reality, that is our life at the moment.

It was a memorable day for Kang Ha Neul as he bagged the Best Actor at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards. The actor, who starred in When the Camellia Blooms, beat Namgoong Min (Hot Stove League), Park Se Joon (Itaewon Class), Joo Ji Hoon (Hyena) and Hyun Bin (Crash Landing on You) in the category.
