Welcome to the Weekly Update – August 6 – 12. 2 new dramas started up this week, with Netflix releases all 10 episodes of “A Model Family” at once. So if you need an exciting binge drama, this one is a great choice. I’m loving Junny’s new MV for “Not About You”, but there are some great group videos this week as well. I hope you had a great week. Until next time, enjoy your kdrama and ramen!
