There was such a long stretch last year when none of my fave actresses appeared in a drama, bet that span was about seven months. Now since December 1st at least five have had a series begin and there's two more coming up plus there's a few Japanese dramas that I want to or am checking out. There's no way I can view all of the shows and wish they had been a bit spaced out. Will also add in that all of these new dramas seem to be excellent ones and 2019 wasn't a strong year for shows.
This is Yeon-Hee's first drama since 2017 and she's done so little these past two years but as a faithful viewer commented Korean actresses tend to make a high salary which enables them to take such long breaks. Besides the drama there hasn't been much else going on with Yeon-Hee though think this will turn out to be a decent post, hard to screw things up when you're posting pics of her. But will admit she is starting to look her age a bit as on January 9th she celebrated her 32nd birthday but of course will always look like a few trillion won in my eyes.
Went so long with very few posts for my fave Korean actresses, perhaps four in about a three month stretch? But this is four days in a row with posting about one of them and will hopefully will have at least two more next week. At one time Yeon-Hee did a lot of modeling, say up until 2017 or maybe a year earlier. These days we seldom see her modeling for any brand so why not go back in time to late 2012 and these stupendous pics from Joinus. She was with them for a few years and their pics always rated an A+, also they're so you can compare how she looks about seven years older.
How more 'time line' pics as this set of Yeon-Hee's is from February 2015 and she really shined in the monthly issue of Bazaar.
And finally up to present day with this Yeon-Hee spread from the February edition of Grazia and the title refers to the new drama.
As mentioned "The Game: Towards Zero" is Yeon-Hee's first drama in over two years and for the second time in a series she plays a detective. The first was in the 2012 "Ghost" aka Phantom drama which I still have never completely finished. Skimmed through the first two episodes and it amazes me how quickly subs get done for a Korean drama, usually they're done a few hours after an episode has aired while it seems these days it takes weeks just for one Japanese episode to be done.
In the series Yeon-Hee plays detective Joon-Young working for the Crime Division One office in Seoul. She was called to a murder scene by her superior and then eventually went to a hospital where the only survivor was. But that man Kim had been discharged or more accurately taken away by his lawyer and her crew before Joon-Young could arrive. She chased Kim and his lawyer though it what had to be the longest running scene of her life. This man Kim has a special ability where he can foretell how a person will die, he's been 100% on everyone except for Joon-Young whose future death he can't read.
Of course she thinks it a lot of bull that a person can see someone else's death so she gave Kim a challenge. Joon-Young wants him to team up with her to solve a twenty year old murder which hasn't been solved, that is if Kim can prove to her he has the ability to see death. That's about the extent of what I gathered from viewing the first two shows, didn't quite make it to the end as there was still a little over ten minutes to go. May be adding in more screenshots if there are any future posts like this one for her but will probably wait until the series finishes before recapping the entire show as the amount of dramas I'm viewing right now is ind boggling. It appears to be a slow paced show yet one that will be somewhat intense and perhaps horrific but there still 14 episodes to go.
The drama began today and it's a series that has back to back half hour episodes which I prefer over hour shows though technically the length is the same. There was also an event today at the MBC office in Sangam-dong, Seoul and that's the station the show is on. It airs at 9:00 pm which is a prime spot but don't know if this is expected to be draw huge ratings. Plenty of fine pics from the event,
Yeon-Hee has always been a thin woman but it appears she's thinner than ever but still looks darn good. There's some videos on YT of the event along with many promo ones for the series. But instead after the pics have one of her best videos ever if not her top one that's from '1st Look' magazine and the photo shoot for volume 181 of the mag which came out last Summer.
