Elevated by its lead performances, Would You Marry Me (Disney) is a cute, fun and ultimately forgettable drama.

Finally finished Buried Hearts. Apart from Park Hyung Sik's charismatic and compelling performance, this show did not live up to the potential of its first episodes. Hong Hwa Yeon's initially complex and interesting FL was soon side-lined. Thereafter, a bunch of largely uninteresting men wrangled over money / a corporation that I did not ever care about. The show’s eye-rolling ending signalled a second season… I am not sure that I will be back.
