Notes from the Last Row: Plot and character details
The series will feature Choi Hyun Wook as Lee Kang, a mysterious student of the Korean literature department with exceptional writing skills. The drama, based on a popular Spanish play, El Chico de la última fila, revolves around Lee Kang's complex relationship with Heo Mun Oh (played by Exhuma's Choi Min Shik). The character is a bitter literature professor and a failed writer, who gets drawn to the talent of Lee Kang.
Backbencher Lee Kang will receive encouragement to excel in writing from the professor, leading to growth and healing of both. Heo Mun Oh's bitterness might stem from his shattered literary dreams and from the success of his writer friend, Kim Su Hun (played by Heo Joon Ho). Among the notable supporting cast, we have Ahn Eun Joo playing Kim Su Hun's wife and Jo Hyeon Suk stars as Heo Mun Oh's wife.
Notes from the Last Row release
The drama reportedly went on floors in April this year and is eyeing a 2026 release. With veteran actors and rising stars like Choi Hyun Wook coming together, anticipation for the series is high.

Korean TV documentary reunion turns chaotic after bomb threat disrupts heartwarming gathering
Documentary 3 Days A decade-long wait to reunite with members of the popular Korean TV documentary Documentary 3 Days ended abruptly after a bomb threat forced organisers to cancel the gathering. The latest episode of the beloved KBS series, known for capturing real-life stories over three intense days, was set to feature a special meeting at the old Andong Station square in Gyeongbuk Province — until events took an unexpected and alarming turn. Bomb Threat Sparks Panic At around 7:37 AM on August 15, 2025, a disturbing message appeared in the live chat of the show's YouTube stream, reading: 'I will detonate explosives in the old Andong Station square.' According to the Gyeongbuk Police Agency, the anonymous threat immediately triggered a lockdown of the area. Police swiftly evacuated attendees, cordoned off the square, and deployed bomb squads to conduct a thorough search. The timing could not have been worse — what was intended as a heartfelt celebration of enduring friendships quickly devolved into chaos. Eyewitnesses described the scene as 'utter confusion,' with people fleeing in all directions. Authorities later confirmed that no explosives were found, and the incident was deemed a likely hoax. Impact on Fans and Show The fallout was swift and far-reaching. Fans of 'Documentary 3 Days' flooded social media with messages of disappointment, tempered by relief that no one was harmed. For the production team, years of planning a moving reunion episode were overshadowed by headlines for all the wrong reasons. The incident also underscored the unpredictable nature of live broadcasting in Korea's fast-paced media industry, where reality TV often flirts with real-life drama. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Viewers who tuned in expecting warmth and nostalgia instead found themselves discussing the episode's dramatic turn online — inadvertently boosting the show's visibility.

Korean authorities are continuing their investigation, stressing how a single digital message can disrupt lives and major events. In an age where live streams can reach millions instantly, not every comment is harmless banter — and vigilance remains essential.

'Zombie Daughter' steals hearts: Secret behind lovable zombie avatar REVEALED
Choi Yu-ri plays Su-ah, a teen zombie In the blockbuster Korean movie ' Zombie Daughter ,' which topped the summer box office charts, actress Choi Yu-ri plays Su-ah, a teen zombie who's the last of her kind. She's the daughter of a fierce beast trainer, Jeong-hwan (played by Cho Jung-seok), and her ashen face with eerie yet warm eyes has won over audiences. For Indian fans who adore family dramas, this movie mixes horror with emotions that hit harder than most other tearjerkers. Su-ah isn't just a monster; she's a daughter who sparks a protective vibe in everyone watching. The Makeup Marathon Choi Yu-ri didn't just act her part; she lived it through a grueling 300-day transformation journey. Picture this: every single day, for 2 hours, she sat through a makeup session that turned her into Su-ah. From pre-production to the final shot, her makeup wasn't just slathering on grey paint. It evolved in 4 distinct stages, matching the movie's emotional rollercoaster-think changing skin tones, deeper wounds, and blood stains adjusted to perfection. The director, Pil Gam-sung, and the crew couldn't stop praising her patience, calling her the "most adult" person on set. If that's not dedication, what is? Custom Lenses for a Zombie look Here's where it gets even cooler. The team didn't stop at skin-deep makeup; they crafted special lenses to give Su-ah's eyes a story of their own. Normal zombie lenses are huge, like 500-won coins and super uncomfortable for long shoots. So, the crew teamed up with a US company to design smaller, custom lenses just for Choi Yu-ri. They even made different versions-angry, sad, and emotionless match each scene's mood. The result? Eyes that don't just stare but speak, making Su-ah a zombie you'd want to hug, not run from. Crafting Every Face in 'Zombie Daughter' Su-ah isn't the only star of the makeup game in this movie. Take Bamsoon, played by Lee Jung-eun, who transformed into a grandmother with a 100% sync to the original character through hours of age-enhancing makeup. Each shoot meant 2 hours of turning her into the adorable 'comic granny' that fans loved. Then there's Dongbae, played by Yoon Kyung-ho , whose hilarious Thor-inspired look (nicknamed 'Dongtor') had audiences in splits-think of it as a Korean version of a desi superhero spoof! The wigs, makeup, and costumes were dialed up to eleven to ensure every laugh landed perfectly. Why This Zombie Bites Straight Into Your Heart Beyond the makeup, 'Zombie Daughter' taps into something universal-family bonds that even a zombie apocalypse can't break. In Korea, zombie flicks like 'Train to Busan' have redefined horror with emotional depth, and this movie takes it a notch higher. For Indian youth, who've grown up on tales of sacrifice and love in movies and shows, Su-ah's story feels like a fresh twist on familiar themes. Add to that the growing K-wave-think BTS and K-dramas-that's sweeping across cities like Delhi and Bangalore, and you've got a film that's not just a hit but a cultural bridge.
