“Future Choice” Begins Airing Tomorrow! Will it be as Successful as “Good Doctor?”

Will actress Yoon Eun Hye rise to the top again with a role in another romantic comedy?

KBS 2TV’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Future Choice” begins tomorrow. Much anticipation is being focused on the new series especially since its predecessor, “Good Doctor,” achieved much success bringing in as much as 20% in ratings.

“Future Choice” is about a girl named Na Mi Rae (Yoon Eun Hye), who receives a visit from the future Mi Rae (Choi Myung Gil). The future Mi Rae gives advice to the present Mi Rae in her decision-making in order to redirect her destiny into a different direction.

“Future Choice” consists of the “future self” and the “present self” meeting in one place distinguishing itself from the conventional time slip dramas we have seen before. 

Previous time slip dramas include SBS’ “Rooftop Prince,” tvN’s “Queen In Hyun’s Man,” and “Nine: Nine Time Travels.” It is a concept that has become a 100% box office hit. The prospect is that “Future’s Choice” will receive positive effects as a time slip drama, which is guaranteed to succeed. 

Moreover, another key point is the question of whether Yoon Eun Hye will rise to the top once again especially since she has not starred in a box office hit since MBC’s “Goong,” and “Coffee Prince.” She is predicted to set the bar high with her energetic and lovely charm as well as appealing to the audience with a more mature image than before.

Hong Jin Ah, the writer of MBC’s “Over the Rainbow,” “Beethoven Virus,” and “The King 2 Hearts,” is known for coming up with new materials and approaches to writing. The prediction is that her writing skills will add another positive synergy to the drama.

With Yoon Eun Hye and her strength in romantic comedies and the time slip theme that has proven to produce box office hits, it is expected “Future Choice” will triumph with is competitors, MBC’s “Goddess of Fire,” and SBS’ “The Suspicious Housekeeper.”

Plagiarism Streak Continues: Trouble Maker's 'Now' Vs. Rihanna's 'We Found Love'

Plagiarism seems to be a hot topic in Kpop at the moment since after the issues flared about IU's Red Shoes, there are now new things brought to light under scrutiny.

The duo of Trouble Maker found themselves in trouble as their new music video for comeback track “Now” is currently under fire for suspicions of plagiarism.

Like Us on Facebook :

On October 28, a series of screen captures were uploaded on online community, stressing out the strikingly similar scenes between Trouble Maker’s “Now” music video and Rihanna’s “We Found Love” music video. The similar-looking scenes included hugging in a field, drifting cars, love scene inside the car and fireworks.

Internet users commented, “Talking about Hallyu wave, but then you steal a famous American singer’s MV. Aren’t you even embarrassed?” “The producer has no sense of pride since he stole other people’s ideas” and “It’s similar to the point where you can’t deny it.”

The harsh commentators did not hold back at all as they tore the video limb from limb because of the many commonalities that were found between the two videos. In light of these recent findings, no statement has been released yet from the side of the company and the artists. What do you guys have to say about this new issue?

“Always Be There” is a 1980’s style track with a warm pop sound. The rather chill melody along with smooth voices of all the members and their added harmonies create a heart-warming track.

Regarding the track, the members said, “We hope that rather than an addictive track in one listen, this song would be able to encourage you with its sincerity.”
