Kim Ji-Yeon(Bona): Her intro post #1- '2017 KBS Drama Awards' show pics and video

 Kim Ji-Yeon seems to be a common name, there's another singer with the name who also goes by Kei and was born in 1995 just as this post's honoree was. Another woman that shares the name is an Olympic fencer born in 1988. So to make her recognition easier this Ji-Yon goes by the name of Bona and I'll be using that name in her posts.
 Had never heard of Bona up until a few days ago but when I saw these pics from the KBS Drama Awards show my heart went into maximum overdrive which hasn't happened in a long time. Bona is a member of the K-Pop group Cosmic Girls which also is known as WJSN. It's a mix of Korean and Chinese gals with four coming from China but unsure if the members now reside in Korea. Above is a PV for their "Happy" single that came out in 2017.

 More on them in future Bona posts but want to just talk about her today as my boiling blood still hasn't cooled off after seeing those first pics of her.

 A drama that I've been curious about is "Girls Generation 1979" which aired in September and October for eight episodes. It's set in the late seventies as the title suggests and though at first it appears to be a bit fluffy think it turned out to be quite a serious series. Bona has the lead role of Jung-Hee in the show and the more I talk about it the more I want to view it. Being only eight episodes is a big plus too so that just may be my next watch, there are now way too many on my -need-to-watch list and have to start watching them instead of talking about them.

 The show was a KBS drama and for her role Bona in the above drama was nominated for the Excellence Award for best actress. She was also up for the Best Newcomer Award which was also for her "Hit the Top" series but sadly failed to win either one of them. Least to me Bona easily won the award for most sweltering actress at the awards show and there were plenty of actresses who looked more than oki doki at it. Plenty of dazzling pics from the awards show which was held on December 31st and after them is a short video of her on the red carpet.

Ko Won-Hee and Kim Ji-Yeon(Bona): " Your House Helper" drama info, event pics and video

 Next two posts have the recaps for the drama's first two episodes and it's a show which I'm enjoying so much. There's 32 shows in all so don't know everything that will happen which is something I like doing as I prefer not knowing how a drama is going to end. It's mainly about a male house cleaner who is so excellent at his job and somehow gets mixed up with a trio of women who are all 23 years in age. He ends up cleaning two of their houses but won't go any further with the info as you can get all of the details in the next two posts.
 The series just wrapped up it's run on August 29th, with Korean dramas being so much longer than Japanese shows would rather wait until a drama is finished and watch them all in a row. The show aired on KBS2 which isn't as popular as the regular KBS channel, as a matter of fact the station it airs on shuts down overnight which is a rarity these days. The drama averaged about a 4.0% rating which isn't all that bad considering it didn't air on the major KBS channel.

 Did one intro post for Bona whose real name is Kim Ji-Yeon, there's another actress with that name which is why she changed it. She has the lead role in this drama as Da-Young and looks absolutely magnificent. Will try to do a few more solo posts for her but also recapped most of her series that aired earlier this year "Girls' Generation" 1979 which was a fine show.

 My big current fave is Won-Hee and to say I've become so smitten with her is a huge understatement. Have already done two posts for this past week and do plan on having as many as possible coming up. Her character's name in the show is Sang-A and though she doesn't have the lead role she seems to have more screen time than anyone else.

 On July 2nd there was an event for the drama that took place at the Yeouido Hotel ballroom, the series began two days later. Bona certainly looks tremendous though she could afford to have seconds for dinner, she's also a member of the Cosmic Girls pop group which is moderately successful.
 Most of the main characters were there and of course also in attendance was Won-Hee who for a change dressed a tad conservatively. Can't think of many actresses out there who look so alluring at events as she does. Plenty of pics from the main two female leads here from the press conference and check out a video after them which features all of the main cast.
