Watch: Cha Seung Won, Kim Hee Ae, Kim Seon Ho, And Lee Ki Taek Hold Back Tears As They Listen To An Elderly Customer’s Song In “Bonjour Bakery”

Upcoming variety show “Bonjour Bakery” shares warmth with the elderly in a quiet rural village!

Set in a peaceful rural village, “Bonjour Bakery” is a healing baking variety show centered on Korea’s first senior French dessert cafe, where pastries are crafted using local ingredients. The show stars Kim Hee Ae, Cha Seung Won, Kim Seon Ho, and Lee Ki Taek.

Stemming from the realization that “a senior’s happiness is simple,” this project gifts a “time purely for oneself” to the parents’ generation who have lived their entire lives for their families. Seeing the seniors enjoy complete happiness through new flavors and experiences will remind viewers of their own grandmothers and parents, promising to deliver a moving, healing experience that all generations can relate to.

In the newly released teaser, Cha Seung Won serves a classic French pastry galette de rois (“King’s cake”) to the elderly. As he tries to pause those who can’t wait to dig into the dish, Cha Seung Won explains that it is tradition to hide a small charm inside it but that they hid a chestnut in one of the five cakes that were served.

When Cha Seung Won signals them to begin eating, customers cut the cake and look for the chestnut with excitement in their eyes. Soon, a elderly woman shouts in joy, “I found the chestnut!” When Cha Seung Won hands her a flower as a prize, another elderly customer suggests that the finder sing for everyone. The elderly female’s song begins to flow through the laughter-filled bakery, and everyone focuses on her voice, sharing a happy moment together.

Watch the full teaser below:

“Bonjour Bakery” premieres on May 8 and will be available on Viki.

Park Hae Soo, Seo Ji Hye, Kwak Sun Young, And More Face Chaos As Song Geon Hee Is Named Murder Suspect In “The Scarecrow”

“The Scarecrow” has unveiled new stills ahead of its upcoming episode!

“The Scarecrow” follows a detective investigating a series of murders who is forced into an unlikely partnership with a man he despises. Set between 1988 and 2019, the suspenseful story tracks two men bound by misfortune and an uneasy alliance of hatred as they chase the truth across 30 years.

Spoilers

In the previous episode, Kang Tae Joo (Park Hae Soo) returned after teaming up with Cha Si Young (Lee Hee Joon) and resumed the investigation into the Gangseong serial murder case. Through Seo Ji Won (Kwak Sun Young), he learned that the killer’s handkerchief matched Kang Soon Young’s (Seo Ji Hye), leading him to suspect her boyfriend Lee Ki Beom (Song Geon Hee).

Meanwhile, Kang Soon Young hid Lee Ki Beom, who was wanted for assaulting Jeon Kyung Ho (Kang Jung Woo), in her home storage shed. That night, Lee Ki Beom fled, leaving her behind. Kang Soon Young immediately went after him but ran into the attacker and was assaulted. Cha Si Young, who tried to help, was also stabbed and lost consciousness, raising the level of danger.

In the newly released stills, Detective Jang Myung Do (Jeon Jae Hong) and police officers are seen entering Lee Ki Beom’s home and facing off in a tense standoff with the family. Jang Myung Do is holding a search warrant for the residence.

Lee Ki Beom’s mother (Sung Yeo Jin), unable to accept the idea that her son is a serial killer, grabs Kang Tae Joo and vents her anger and frustration.

Lee Ki Beom’s older brother and hometown friend Lee Ki Hwan (Jung Moon Sung) also looks at him with resentment, while Kang Tae Joo cannot bring himself to raise his head, as if he is at fault.

Seo Ji Won, a friend of both of them, looks very worried, while Kang Soon Young holds back tears over Lee Ki Beom, whose whereabouts are unknown.

In contrast, Cha Si Young stands apart with his arms crossed, watching the situation calmly and without emotion.

The production team said, “In episode 5, which airs today, several circumstances and clues point to Lee Ki Beom as a suspect, leaving Kang Tae Joo confused. As the series of murders in Gangseong continues, residents’ distrust of and opposition to the police grow stronger, and the Gangseong Police Station faces increasing pressure from both inside and outside.”

The next episode of “The Scarecrow” airs on May 4 at 10 p.m. KST.

Song Geon Hee, Seo Ji Hye, Jung Moon Sung, Baek Hyun Jin, And More Bring Diverse Charms To New Drama “The Scarecrow”

ENA’s upcoming drama “The Scarecrow” has unveiled new stills featuring its supporting cast!

The stills show characters who appear to have stepped out of Gangseong in 1988 and reflect the mood and emotion of that time. First, the stills show Lee Ki Beom (Song Geon Hee) and Kang Soon Young (Seo Ji Hye) looking at each other with warm, affectionate eyes.

The two are a same-age couple who grew up in the same neighborhood and have promised to marry, but they are unexpectedly pulled into a series of murders and face major hardships. Lee Ki Beom, the younger brother of Lee Ki Hwan (Jung Moon Sung), is a responsible young man who will do anything for his family and loved ones. Kang Soon Young, the younger sister of Kang Tae Joo (Park Hae Soo), is an elementary school teacher with a calm and steady personality.

Another still shows Lee Ki Hwan, a bookstore owner, spending time with longtime hometown friends and former elementary school classmates Kang Tae Joo and Seo Ji Won (Kwak Sun Young) after a long time, looking happier and more comfortable than ever.

In another still, Kang Tae Joo is seen with four Gangseong Police Station officers Kim Man Chun (Baek Hyun Jin), Jang Myung Do (Jeon Jae Hong), Do Hyung Gu (Kim Eun Woo), and Park Dae Ho (Ryu Hae Joon) as they review case logs together. They work both independently and together to catch the true culprit behind the serial killings that have shaken Gangseong.

Squad chief Kim Man Chun is a seasoned officer with depth and experience who delivers a strong and steady presence. With his down-to-earth leadership, he serves as a pillar of support for Kang Tae Joo.

In contrast, Jang Myung Do and Do Hyung Gu are figures who frequently clash with Kang Tae Joo and drive conflict. Their intense and rough presence dominates the atmosphere, portraying corrupt officers who bow to power and rely on violence.

The youngest detective at Gangseong Police Station, Park Dae Ho, is shown in a tense and cautious stance. Though still clumsy and inexperienced, he diligently follows Kang Tae Joo and takes part in investigations at crime scenes.

“The Scarecrow” premieres on April 20 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki.

In the meantime, you can watch teasers for the drama with English subtitles below:
