The image of Yoona in tvN drama The K2 is bringing back so much deja vu feels from Yongpal, namely the visuals of Kim Tae Hee from that drama.

Idol actors continue to get a mixed reception with Korean drama audiences, it’s not enough to rest on one good performance but one bad performance seems to tar the opinion for a long time.

Looks like upcoming tvN drama The K2 really will be an potentially upgraded version of last year’s hit SBS drama Yongpal.

Looks like there is tons of juicy on-dits behind the scenes of the casting of tvN drama K2.
