• Actresses Chae Lim and Jeon Min Seo (Speed Scandal) will play mother-daughter in weekend drama Good Job, Good Job. Chae Lim admitted that it felt awkward at first to hear the child actress call her “un-ni” (언니) on set, but now she feels like she really has an adorable little sister. In Good Job, Good Job, Chae Lim plays Lee Kang Joo, who is a single mom since boyfriend Yoo Ho Nam (Kim Seung Soo) left her while she was pregnant. She is now dating a younger man, Choi Seung Hyun (Um Ki Joon). Kang Joo thought she was completely over her former lover, but is shaken when Ho Nam suddenly returns. The first episode will premiere on March 14.

• It has been discovered that actor Lee Bum Soo (Death Bell, or Gosa) is a lifetime donor to a welfare centre for the handicapped in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. Lee reportedly recommended to his On Air co-star Kim Ha Neul that she visit this centre to do research for her acting role in last year’s drama. He registered as a donor shortly afterwards, and has secretly been sending monthly donations since the beginning of 2008. Although each monthly payment installment is not a large amount, lifetime donations generally go on for thirty years; hence, he will have donated a significant sum by the end. This news came to light after he was seen dropping off gifts at the centre.
