Kim Soo Hyun-starrer My Love from the Star to re-release globally amid Kim Sae Ron controversy
Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun continues to make headlines almost every day with the never-ending controversy around his involvement in late actor Kim Sae Ron's life. The actor previously admitted to dating the late actor, but several allegations have been raised by Sae Ron's family which the actor and his agency have rejected so far. Amid this, reports about his hit K-drama, My Love from the Star re-releasing in countries have surfaced. The K-drama will be making its debut in South America, Brazil, as per multiple reports. It will be broadcast on SBT, starting June 9. The show is said to be a part of the network's recently introduced Asian content block. It is set to air in Brazil for the first time, more than a decade after its original release in South Korea. SBT attributed the premiere to a growing appetite for Korean content among viewers in Brazil, which has seen a sharp rise in recent years, much like everywhere else in the world. Besides Brazil, the show will be reportedly re-airing in Taiwan where several fans previously came out in support of the actor amid reports about his relationship with Kim Sae Ron. In Taiwan, it will be released on Korea Entertainment TV. Its comeback amid the controversy is likely to benefit the ratings, especially in a time when Kim Soo Hyun is dealing with setbacks at work due to the controversy. My Love from the Star was originally released in 2013 on SBS) from December 18, 2013, to February 27, 2014. It has 21 episodes.

The K-drama is backed by Choi Moon Suk and Moon Bo Mi. The show was met with an average nationwide television viewership rating of 24 per cent in South Korea and is considered one of the cult K-dramas that contributed to spreading the Hallyu wave.

'Good Boy' review: Park Bo-gum's action-comedy lands strong punches with flair, fun characters, and knockout energy
'Good Boy' is the kind of show that winks at you right from the start. It knows it's here to entertain – and so far, it's doing a pretty good job of it. This new South Korean action-comedy series, written by Lee Dae-il and directed by Shim Na-yeon, brings together a pretty exciting mix of things: former sports stars turned police officers, stylish action sequences, and just the right dash of heart and humor. The cast? A total treat – Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok all bring something fun and fresh to the screen. The show premiered with some fanfare in Bangkok on May 31st, 2025, and is streaming across several platforms – Netflix, Disney+ (in South Korea), and Amazon Prime Video globally. So, yes, it's accessible and buzz-worthy. But is it worth diving into? Based on the first two episodes, we'd say yes – with some cautious optimism. Let's start with the tone. 'Good Boy' doesn't try to be mysterious or overly serious. It sets out to be fun and succeeds. The plot centres around five former athletes who, for various reasons, leave behind their sports careers and end up as part of a special crime-fighting police unit. It's a bit of a stretch conceptually, sure, but it's played with such charm that you're happy to go along for the ride. You don't actually see much of their sports pasts until the final stretch of episode one, which honestly turns out to be a great little payoff. Up until then, you're getting to know them as quirky, flawed, but very likable characters adjusting to their new lives. And when the action kicks in? It's worth the wait. Park Bo-gum, fresh off the international success of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', slides effortlessly into this new, very different role. It might seem hard to top that last hit, but to be fair, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to top it – it's doing its own thing. Here, Bo-gum plays a boxer-turned-cop, and he's got the charm and physicality to make it believable. His scenes, especially the ones in motion, are shot beautifully. The camera work during action sequences – particularly with Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi, who plays a former fencer – is sharp, fluid, and engaging. You feel like you're in the middle of it with them, catching every punch, lunge, and fall. Kim So-hyun holding a massive gun wasn't on anyone's 2025 bingo card, but hey – we love surprises. While her sport didn't exactly prep her for close combat, she still pulls off her action moments with a steady hand and some fierce energy. It's nice to see her stepping into such a strong, confident role, even if we haven't seen the full range of her abilities just yet. One moment that absolutely deserves a shoutout is from Shin Jae-hong – the gentle giant of the squad – who nails a sewer lid throw (yes, really) with all the flair of an Olympic shot-putter. It's one of those scenes that makes you sit up, grin, and go, 'Okay, now this is fun.' The last part of episode one, where we finally see all five characters tap into their athletic sides, is a total visual treat. And let's talk music. American artist MAX, known for his work with BTS's Suga and Le Sserafim's Huh Yun-jin, lends his voice to the main OST, 'Get In The Ring'. It's punchy, upbeat, and matches the vibe of the show perfectly. Using it during the climax of episode one was a smart move – it felt like the show officially entered the ring, pun absolutely intended. While the main trio – Bo-gum, Sang-yi, and So-hyun – are clearly in the spotlight, there's genuine excitement around the rest of the cast. Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok haven't had their big moments yet, but knowing their range and past performances, we're betting they'll deliver soon. So, two episodes in, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. But it's rolling along smoothly on good writing, great chemistry, fun action, and lots of promise. There's plenty of room for growth, and we're holding onto the benefit of the doubt that the best is yet to come. If you're looking for a show that's light, stylish, funny, and packed with heart – this just might be your next favorite watch.
