‘The Fugitive: Plan B’ Begins Amid Much Hype 

The KBS drama “The Fugitive: Plan B” has finally lifted its veil with its first episode on September 29 in Seoul.  Succeeding “Bread, Love and Dreams,” the new drama has generated great hype with its top cast and crew members.  The director-writer combo behind the hit drama “The Slave Hunters” -- Gwak Jung-hwan and Chun Seung-il -- have teamed up together once again for the blockbuster show starring Lee Na-young, Rain and Daniel Henney.  Many stars from “The Slave Hunters” made cameo appearance in the first episode, including Lee Da-hye, Oh Ji-ho, Sung Dong-il, Kong Hyung-jin and Cho Hee-bong.  Lee Da-hae appeared as the girlfriend of Gee-woo, played by Rain, a notorious lady killer and private investigator.

Gee-woo tries to appease his girlfriend, who becomes angry when she finds out that he has set his eyes on another woman.  He swears that he will live only for her once they marry and proposes to her with a ring.  She feels pleased and smiles brightly, but right at that moment Gee-woo asks her to lend him 300 million won.  She slaps him on the cheek, cursing, throws down the ring and leaves.

Viewers poured out their expectations on the drama board, saying, “Like the director’s previous work, ‘The Slave Hunters,’ I have high hopes for spectacular, action-packed scenes,” “It’s novel and intriguing,” and “It’s a thrilling drama I’ve not seen for a long time.”

'Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ Hints at Budding Romance

 A boy of example has fallen for a girl disguised as a boy to study at the male-only Confucian school Sungkyunkwan in the drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.”  In the Episode #10, Kim Yun-hee (Park Min-young) disguises herself as a gisaeng, a traditional female entertainer, to help Lee Seon-jun (Micky) hide from the men sent by Ha In-su (Jeon Tae-soo), an evil school representative who tries to harm them.  The two then run away together from In-su and have an opportunity to show their feelings for each other.  Seon-jun says, “It wasn’t pity I felt for you. I admired your talents at first and then wanted to be friends with you.  But I just didn’t know how to because I never had such feelings.” In tears, Yun-hee responds, “You shouldn’t do this to me. You don’t know how hard I’ve tried to suppress my feelings and concentrate on studying.”  Bewildered to see Yun-hee crying, Seon-jun tries to comfort her saying, “It’s all my fault. Forgive me and stop crying.”

But after that Seon-jun cannot keep himself from looking at her lips. He feels nervous to see her wearing lipstick and even eating a meal.  Meanwhile, the four protagonists -- Yun-hee, Seon-jun and Gu Yong-ha (Song Joong-ki) and Moon Jae-shin (Yu A-in) -- catch a suspect of the incident where all the valuables at the school were stolen. Yun-hee is entrapped and fingered as a perpetrator, which puts her at risk of being expelled from the school. But they learn the suspect committed the crime to save his mother, and let him go. Now Yun-hee has only one option to put herself out of the line.
