The kids are out and about for the child portion of upcoming MBC drama She Was Pretty (She Was Beautiful), with filming underway for a mid-September premiere.

Can I get a hells yeah for Orion and Origin possibly reuniting in a drama as the OTP? While it’s undeniable that Kill Me Heal Me was the Ji Sung show, and wow how he delivered by going above and beyond the call of duty, the drama wouldn’t have been as good without Hwang Jung Eum and Park Seo Joon … Continue reading →
