On my list: Oh My Ghost Clients (❤️Jung Kyung Ho❤️ was so swoonworthy in Crash Course in Romance that I simply have to give his new drama a chance.)
Sorry for the late post. I was sick at the start of the month (during my long-awaited break 😔), and for the last two weeks, I was on a business trip.
Edit: I'm currently halfway through the first episode of Pump Up the Healthy Love. It's pretty silly, but I am already side-eyeing how the FL is treated as "fat". Here's hoping that weight loss isn't central to her character arc.
