I’m not sure how K-drama fans feel about this potential pairing but I’ll toss my first impression coin in the optimistic fountain.

There’s no rest for the uber-successful and that suitably describes K-actress Hwang Jung Eum‘s acting career in the last two years. She’s one of those hard working toilers that does drama after drama but in 2015 she really hit the right project jackpot not once but twice.
