There is more casting news out of K-ent this week, a swap-a-roo for a medical healing genre drama. Shin Mina is in talks to headline I’m a Nurse, And a Human Too.

Shin Mina has one of the most distinctive faces among her fellow K-actresses, the wide-set eyes, deep dimples, and round smile. I love her twenty year career trajectory as a rookie getting her start thanks to her pretty face and improving as an actress to the point the early days criticism are long in the rear view mirror. She’s also … Continue reading →
Both women are beautiful as is so this one comes down to styling the entire package.

It’s been a comparatively quiet project year for K-actress Shin Mina but she’s gearing up for her comeback with the movie Diva. The title turns into an English pun of sorts as the movie is set in the world of Diving hence she’s a diving diva har har.
