So complaining by fans does work lol, but at least gets some adjustments made. Fans of Dilraba Dilmurat went on an angry online attack last month when the first filming pictures came out from the set of xianxia C-drama Love Beyond the Grave showing her with heavy makeup and overly ornate costumes and excessive accessories.

I love when the meta becomes a real life conversation topic, so it’s fun hearing K-actor Kim Dong Jun, who started out as an idol in the stacked group that is ZE:A, discuss the common observation that he looks just like actress Han Ga In.
