It’s not much rest for K-actress Shin Mina as K-ent is reporting that this week she’s headed to Jeju Island to start filming her section of the upcoming K-drama Our Blues.

It’s an impressive feat that tvN drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha is currently sitting at number 2 in 2021 ratings for the Sat-Sun timeslot for the network, behind Vincenzo, though Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) isn’t counted as a 2021 drama since it premiered in 2020.
