K-actor Kim Jung Hyun‘s comeback was nothing short of a perfect drama pick on top of a perfect second male lead pick on top of a perfect performance.

I haven’t seen Ivy Shao for awhile but was struck by how warm and beautiful she is as an actress when she posted new pictures this week of herself in a wedding gown.

A poll and post has been making its way through K-netizen ranks and it’s relatively consensus driven on who is considered one of South Korea’s top 10 beauties here in 2020. It’s like the same list since 2005 if you ask me, and honestly probably justified considering these ladies were each considered a top in some way when they debuted … Continue reading →
