Ji Chang Wook is really taking his time with his acting career in 2015 after finishing up K-drama Healer in the early part of the year.

I wish Celebrity magazine would change its title, just to avoid the inevitable cringe I get everytime I see a cover star’s face plastered right under the too obvious title.
