I really like K-actor Ji Hyun Woo and it’s strictly for his expansive performing talent. The musical actor underpinnings are an added bonus but as a K-drama leading man he’s delivered a spectrum of leading men types all to perfect degree whether it’s nebbishy beta male in Angry Mom or self-absorbed alpha jerk in Trot Lovers. The problem now is … Continue reading →
