Castaway Diva

This series started out strong and ended on a high note, literally. Seo Mok-ha (Park Eun-bin) was a teenager who dreamt of becoming a singer like her idol Yoon Ran-joo (Kim Hyo-jin).

Rewatching Hot Stove League

I’m rewatching the baseball drama series Hot Stove League because of Park Eun-bin and Chae Jong-hyeop. This award-winning series is still good on second watch. There’s Park Eun-bin before she was Extraordinary Attorney Woo and she nails her character as a frustrated and hard-working team manager. There’s Namkoong Min who has a similar acting style
