Oh, AMPERS&ONE. You debuted with such a strong track, but since then it’s been dimished returns for every single comeback. The guys have quite a few great b-sides to their name (and their new album’s highlight medley suggests there will be more), but their title tracks have struggled to harness any hint of unique identity. New single That’s That (그게 그거지) is another entry in the group’s generic assembly line. Like previous efforts, it’s polished and well-executed in a workmanlike way. But listening to That’s That, all I can do is think about other boy groups. FNC Entertainment can’t seem…

While episodes 3 and 4 of “My Girlfriend is the Man!” were packed with laugh-out-loud moments and lighthearted chaos, episodes 5 and 6 take a far more emotional turn. The story dives deeper into the characters’ hearts, delivering scenes that tug at the heartstrings and leave a lingering ache. From Ji Hoon’s (Yoo Jung Hoo) heartbreaking realization that she may no longer have a place in Yoon Jae’s (ASTRO’s Yoon San Ha) life to Yu Ri’s (Park Joo Won) unexpected feelings for her best friend Ji Eun (OH MY GIRL’s Arin), the drama perfectly balances tender vulnerability with poignant storytelling.…
