Dramatic scene from a historical drama series.

It’s been pretty low key in the promotion and buzz around upcoming SBS sageuk drama Saimdang: The Herstory. Other than the initial attention when casting confirmed this drama would be Korean actress Lee Young Ae‘s return to acting in over a decade since headlining the unprecedented worldwide hit drama Dae Jang Geum, the drama settled into quietly pre-filming without getting … Continue reading →

It’s not a stretch to say that K-actress Lee Young Ae is in a league of her own when it comes to onscreen presence.
