Published: March 11, 2024, 7 a.m.

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the K-drama series She Would Never Know (2021, JTBC) starring Won Jin-ah and Rowoon, observing similarities between this show and One Spring Night directed by Ahn Pan-seok. Grace also notes a pattern in Korean male characters that she is attracted to, as well as She Would Never Know\u2019s intense queerness, which she compares to Angels in America. Grace opens up about how the Pisces New Moon, the aftershock of the industry\u2019s strike last year and her emotional overwhelm are currently affecting her. Grace offers supportive words to her fellow industry colleagues who may be going through what she\u2019s going through: \u201cYou are not alone.\u201d Grace celebrates Publisher Weekly\u2019s positive review of her new book K-Drama School: A Pop Culture Inquiry into Why We Love Korean Television.
