I cannot stop laughing at the cohabitation antics in Goblin, it makes me pause and chuckle randomly during the day as the perfect distraction.

It’s been a well-deserved but now much too long acting break for K-actress Lee Bo Young, going on maternity leave over a year ago after welcoming first daughter with husband K-actor Ji Sung.
