...Hallyu began roughly 12 years ago when the rest of Asia discovered Korean soap operas. One of the breakthrough dramas was a series 'Winter Sonata' starring Choi Ji-woo & Bae Young-Joon. After that, more Korean dramas saw their way to foreign shores and Korean films and music started to follow suit. Korean marketing people started to see a Korea-centric trend.

Now for the second leads of Queen of Reversals
by javabeans
We’ve seen the previously released stills of the main leads of Queen of Reversals (that would be Kim Nam-joo and Jung Jun-ho). Now it’s Park Shi-hoo and Chae Jung-ahn‘s turn for some attention.
Park’s stills come from the first episode, which airs on October 18, and he reportedly worked out especially hard for a week to get his abs into tip-top shape.
Though really, they were pretty much tip-top anyway. If you’ve seen his previous dramas the sight of his abs is probably familiar to you (Prosecutor Princess, Iljimae) — though I’m betting not unwelcome! In the drama, he plays Gu Yong-shik, the youngest son in a chaebol family.
Meanwhile, Chae Jung-ahn plays Baek Yeo-jin, the rival to Kim Nam-joo’s lead character. You could call her a go-getter if you’re being charitable, or a fox-like woman in the sense that she’s crafty and determined.
Chae said, “Because Baek Yeo-jin in Queen of Reversals is such a different character than the ones I’ve played before, I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve played a lot of pure types before, the kind of characters who can’t get what they want and end up stepping aside, but Yeo-jin is different. She’s a woman who never gives up the things she wants, whether in love or work, and achieves her goals.”
Queen of Reversals has been called the Season 2 of the hit drama Queen of Housewives, but given the entirely new story and characters, it’s neither a true sequel nor spinoff. Consider it more of a variation on the theme. It airs on Mondays on Tuesdays on MBC, and premieres October 18.
