Korean star Kim Soo-hyun is embroiled in controversy over his relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Not only has his popularity plummeted and his image been badly damaged, but he has also been cutting ties with several brands. His original plan to come to Taiwan at the end of March to participate in the 7-ELEVEN Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival was canceled. In addition, this magazine has received news that Uni-President Enterprises Corporation has lost NT$100 million in production costs just on the fresh food, coffee, and peripheral products it signed with him. It is rumored that Kim Soo-hyun will be required to pay compensation for all these losses.
President Chain Store originally planned to collaborate with Kim Soo Hyun in early March. In addition to printing his portrait on product packaging, it also launched limited-edition celebrity photo cards and limited-edition peripheral items collection activities, and also performed at 7-ELEVEN Kaohsiung Cherry Blossom Festival and OPENPOINT fan-exclusive meeting events. Unexpectedly, all these work plans were cancelled because of the affair between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron. Even though Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference in Korea and defended himself in tears, he was unable to reverse the decline.
Among the activities originally planned by 1President Enterprises, three co-branded products include "Crab Roe and Abalone Seafood Soup Rice" by Hanbi Cuisine, "Garlic Fillet Beef Pasta" by Regent Taipei, and "Caramel and Sea Salt Croissant" by Regent Tainan. The products will have Kim Soo Hyun's portrait printed on the packaging. During the event, if you purchase these three fresh foods, you can get a total of five limited edition Kim Soo Hyun celebrity photo cards for free. If you buy any two of the three Kim Soo Hyun packaged fresh foods, you will get a Kim Soo Hyun limited edition folder.
In addition, CITY PRIMA boutique coffee in more than 6,000 stores also collaborated with Kim Soo Hyun for the first time, launching 3 themed cups and cup sleeves on the coffee cups. Buy 4 cups and get a 31% discount and a limited edition Kim Soo Hyun postcard. CITY CAFÉ also has a limited-time Kim Soo Hyun cherry blossom version cup sleeve. Two months later, Uni-President Group calculated that the loss was NT$100 million. According to information received by this magazine, Kim Soo Hyun may be asked to pay 30 million in compensation for his absence from the music season performance. Now, including the peripheral products and other products that are to be destroyed, the amount is as high as 100 million. Kim Soo Hyun may be asked to pay 130 million in compensation. In this regard, this magazine asked Uni-President Enterprises Corporation’s public relations department, but there has been no response so far.
I was reading some reviews of offline screening where 5 episodes were shown (unlike online screening that was 3), and the only criticism I found was that they are doing a lot, like, a lot of genres and dark themes, and it is kind of overwhelming.
Dear Hongrang in the Genre as Historical. There needs to be a new catagory for dramas that aren't based on any…
I think something like 'Historical fiction' genre would be better.
Many people like to document their change in thoughts as the drama progress, that's why dramas like resident playbook, pump love, and tastefully yours got tons of reviews after ep 1 aired. It is really helpful to people like me who want to set the expections of each episode and not only the whole drama.

My smile widened reading this line. Every character is after something that they have lost or will lose anyway, like son, brother, position, love, etc
