I find Kim Kyung Nam a fantastic actor who always delivers and that seems to be the widespread feedback from other drama viewers. He’s just charismatic and his presence in upcoming SBS K-drama The King: Eternal Monarch really ups the ante.

South Korea a few weeks ago was the second highest infected count but has dropped … Continue reading →
