It may be freezing cold in many areas of the Northern Hemisphere, including the chilly climes of South Korea, so seeing Song Ji Hyo in her new spring fashion pictorial for Sisley is a welcome warm breeze.

I’m still ambivalent about Suzy‘s win two weeks ago at the SBS 2018 Drama Awards for top actress and best couple with Lee Jong Seok for While You Were Sleeping. She was aptly humble in receiving the awards and I did think her performance was much better than I expected and hoped for. It didn’t help that her character was … Continue reading →
