A Koala's Playground Posted on by

I have such an unhealthy drama viewer crush on Song Yoon Ah right now, and it’s been years since the Hotelier days. She wasn’t even my female lead crush in On Air, for whatever reason I liked Kim Ha Neul better there even if I liked Song Yoon Ah and Park Yong Ha‘s coupling more.

Hitting peak fame has been great for Namgong Min, he doesn’t flame out too early and has time to build an impressive acting resume of memorable supporting roles and even antagonists.

Things are quite in Kim Soo Hyun land, which is exactly up my alley since I worried he was burning too bright for the previous two years thanks to You From Another Star and Producers.
