It’s fairly clear that after a five year long hiatus from K-ent, once the face of Hallyu dramas Yoon Eun Hye has fallen from the first line media radar that I don’t see reports about her often now in English fandom.

I feel like K-ent is determine to boil anyone’s distaste or reservations towards actor Park Shi Hoo like a frog by normalizing his return to drama land.

Another week another K-drama starts filming. The upcoming SBS legal drama Dear Judge is basically mashing up recent dramas Switch with the lookalikes and masquerading identities with other dramas like Miss Hammurabi and Judge v.
