Okay, I may legit lowkey ship these two to do a romance K-drama now.

I just realized a funny connection moment, Park Shin Hye played a recluse and near shut in female lead in drama Flower Boy Next Door and now nearly 10 years later she’s the same character but in a different genre and with higher stakes. In upcoming zombie movie #Alive she’s still alive during the early onslaught of a zombie apocalypse … Continue reading →
