I had a momentary pause in trying to describe the central fantasy premise of upcoming jTBC drama Abyss. It’s neither soul-nor-body swapping because leads Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob merely turn into different looking versions of themselves, I think? She’s a knock out beautiful prosecutor played by Kim Sa Rang in a guest role who transforms into mousy … Continue reading →
