Due to the Hallyu wave and vlogs from Korea, many dream of one day studying abroad as a foreign exchange student. The entire experience of studying in a foreign country is a liberating experience that many hope to go through, including top stars like TWICE's Sana and actress Shin YeEun. In the most recent installment of "Sana's Fridge Interview", the two talk about their friendship and how they had previously voiced their desires to study abroad.

So let's learn how to say it in Korean down below!

유학

yoo hak

Study abroad

However, to say that you want to study abroad, you'll need to take it a step further. For example, you can say it like this:

유학 가고 싶어요

Yoo hak kago shipeoyo

This way, you can express your desire to study abroad and explore a brand new country like South Korea all on your own!

"The Impossible Heir" has taken viewers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, presenting a series that has kept everyone at the edge of their seats. It features high profile names in Lee JaeWook and Lee JunYoung, along with rising rookie, Hong SuZu.

The Disney+ series follows the story Han TaeOh (Lee JaeWook), who has faced endless struggles in life. Together with Kang InHa (Lee JunYoung), the illegitimate son to the chairman of Kang Oh Group, they hatch a plan to achieve unbelievable amounts of success. On their journey they meet similarly passionate Na HyeWon (Hong SuZu) who hopes to escape the dark clutches of her troubled past.

The finale is right on the horizon, but it has been anything but easy for our characters to arrive at this position. All the cast have gone through an arduous journey to reach this point with a few more hurdles left before the final credits roll.

"The Impossible Heir" has been ripe with various twists and turns, keeping audiences firmly glued to their seats, clutching onto their racing hearts.

Sudden Understanding And Partnership

When the drama first began, we met Han TaeOh and Kang InHa. At first, they appeared to be at odds with one another, having two conflicting personalities that could only lead to trouble. However, it doesn't take too long for the two to discover their similar roaring passion and drive to escape their situation and unfortunate fate.

This leads to TaeOh and InHa forming a partnership in order to take over the company. While many thought they would be at each other's throats for a majority of the drama, seeing them so friendly and amicable definitely threw audiences off guard, wondering how long this relationship would last.

A Confession Too Late

Han TaeOh was dedicated to the cause, persistent in upholding the plan to take Kang InHa to the very top. Even with the appearance of Na HyeWon, it seemed TaeOh would remain steady in his resolve and continue forward without a second thought. However, we see cracks in his mask and emotionless persona.

After gathering his courage and facing the truth of his desires, he confesses to HyeWon — but soon finds out he's a step too late. Although all K-Drama signs point to the two being together, it still takes viewers by surprise that they didn't end up with each other right away. The ship of romance sails and in the blink of an eye, Han TaeOh returns to his cold, calculating self.

Incriminating Circumstances

One of the most shocking events to happen over the course of the K-Drama is TaeOh suddenly being named as a murder suspect. After tossing away his pride in front of Kang InJoo (Han SangJin), he becomes roped into another night of InJoo's incessant partying, filled with narcotics, alcohol, and blaring music.

TaeOh wakes up the next day in a luxurious suite, bloody and in the same room as a deceased Kang InJoo. He becomes the prime suspect and due to an incriminating testimony, along with no evidence to say otherwise, he becomes a convicted criminal. TaeOh struck everyone as being one step ahead of his opponents, but in one fell swoop, he was made out to be the villain, ousted from his position and unable to carry out the plan he set up with Kang InHa.

The Betrayal Of The Century

Despite being locked away in prison, Han TaeOh continues to proactively search for the person who framed him. It takes a lot of digging and having to be named as an escaped criminal, however, our main lead eventually finds out who's behind all the chaos: Kang InHa himself.

It's a discovery that leaves everyone in a state of shock, so certain that InHa truly cared for his best friend. However, that initial sentiment aside, looking back on how he reacted and the looks of discontent that he often wore on his face, the title 'villain' didn't seem too far off. Now that everything is out in the open, InHa has become even more desperate to take hold of the place he rightfully declares as his own.

Now, "The Impossible Heir" stands at the precipice of the end, ready for viewers to tune in for one last time. It's been an incredible journey filled with suspense, thrills, and a bit of sentimental romance.

Are you excited to watch the conclusion of "The Impossible Heir"?

With all the amazing webtoons-based dramas that have been released in the past couple of years, we have only become more excited about upcoming K-Dramas linked with webtoons.

The webtoon "The Mermaid I Loved" is a special case because the story was first written as a script for a drama production. The drama production is on its way and the webtoon was pre-released. The drama's production company, Group Eight, thought that in releasing it first as a webtoon they could showcase some of the various deep sea adventures of the story and also help garner attention for the drama.

The romance fantasy adventure webtoon “The Mermaid I Loved” ("내가 사랑한 물고기," literal translation, “The Fish I Loved”), written by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal (우주봄봄 and 부발), tells the story of a man whose intermittent transformations into a mermaid become increasingly uncontrollable as he experiences the emotion of love and spends time with a woman who he finds himself more and more attracted to. The season 1 of the webtoon ended on March 13th with 31 episodes.

Given the webtoon’s popularity, Group Eight is looking forward the positive effect the webtoon will have on the upcoming drama’s viewership. They have built a solid portfolio with dramas based on webtoons like "Taxi Driver", "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and "A Good Day To Be A Dog". Among their awaited projects is the reboot of the popular drama "Princess Hours" (2006).

Currently, there are no actors cast for “The Mermaid I Loved”. Fans of the webtoon are waiting for the announcement of the cast. We can already think of actors and actresses who would be perfect for the roles!

We at Kpopmap have thought up a cast of actors who would suit this drama amazingly.

1. Sim Kai (심카이), a mermaid and 3rd generation chaebol

Sim Kai is the lead male character. He discovered he was a mermaid 12 years ago and he pretends to be a human.

When he shares physical touch with a woman, his fish scales begin to appear and he transforms back into his mermaid form. Because of this, he avoids all contact with women and has been single his whole life.

But due to his handsome looks, he has a lot of girls chasing after him, so he hired YaNa to pretend to be his girlfriend. However, he can’t help himself from having physical contact with YaNa even if it means he won’t be able breathe.

Kai is the son of the jewelry brand Inoroo, or 3rd generation chaebol, but he is not interested in the family business and instead prefers performing as a mermaid at the aquarium.

The actor must possess features suitable for long hair and a muscular physique to be able to portray a mermaid. He should exude charm and look dazzling in a suit, while also being capable of conveying a mix of cynicism, cuteness, and panic in his expressions. Comfort with underwater filming is also mandatory.

Moon SangMin, WEi's Kim YoHan, Baek SungChul, Kim MyungSoo (INFINITE's L), and Chae JongHyeop could be a good match.

Not only would they look stunning with long hair and looks amazing in suits, but their facial features would perfectly match the character's. Beyond their physical attributes, all five actors possess the talent and ability to convey Kai through the right facial expressions. The genre of fantasy romance suits them impeccably. Each actor would bring their unique colors and charms to the character, making him stand out on screen. Additionally, we can anticipate excellent chemistry with the lead actress.

2. Jung YaNa (정야나), an easy-going part-time student

Jung YaNa (24 years old) is the lead female character. She is a student who works a part-time job and has an easy-going personality.

She accidentally kisses Kai when she meets him for the first time, and shocked to see him suddenly fall very sick, she calls the ambulance. She ends up more shocked when she sees him put his face into a dirty bucket of water used for cleaning.

The actress should possess a mix of cuteness and strength, capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, and especially comedy. The character experiences rapid and extreme changes in emotions, so the actress should be able to show these transitions convincingly. Additionally, she should look just like a regular student, but be able to become a stunning lady with expensive clothes.

Kang MinAh, WJSN's Bona (Kim JiYeon), Chae SooBin, Girl's Day's HyeRi, and Seor InA could be a good match.

All five actresses have demonstrated their talented acting and are well-suited for a character like YaNa. Each of them possesses the ability to portray the youthful, cute, and fiery vibes of the female lead character. Comedy and expressive acting would not be an issue for any of them, so it would be a smooth portrayal of the character without overdoing it and making viewers laugh. No need to mention that they would all bring great chemistry with the lead actor! Being a romance, it is crucial.
