Chae Soo-Bin: Her second intro post....



.... as I really dropped the ball with her! Really thought Soo-Bin had at least four prior posts but obviously made a huge mistake with that assumption which may turn out not to be a bad thing as it means there will be many posts on the horizon for her. This year has been such a slow one for my fave Korean actresses and no doubt the health crisis has played a major factor in that. But their counterparts from Japan have been much busier these past few months so hopefully that'll mean new things for Soo-Bin as everything for today is slightly older.


 What kind of baffles me is why there hasn't been more posts for Soo-Bin up until now. I would put her in my top five for most attractive Korean actresses, she actually could be in second place. Today's post isn't too huge, at over sixty pics it is in a way though there aren't many different activities but there will be in her upcoming posts. Checked and Soo-Bin's first ever post was done in March so with many posts on the horizon she just may qualify for this year's faves list. Sure you missed that first post so here's a few quickie bio details of Soo-Bin who on July 10th hit the age of 26. Like most actresses from Korea she's a bit tall as her height is 167 cm and also like most others in her field she graduated from college which was Konkuk University.



 Been almost two months since I've viewed and recapped a Korean drama, really was getting burnt out on them which was mainly due to their length of 16-20 hours. But just began one this week titled "Where Stars Land" from 2018, have viewed the first three episodes and there's a total of sixteen. It's a serious drama yet not overly so which is such a relief to me as the last few I viewed were just so confusing or complicated. Have started on the first recap and there will be four of them along with an intro post which I'll post after my mini break beginning on the 24th.

 Of course I brought that up as Soo-Bin is the 'heroine' in the series but a very inept one. She plays the character of Han Yeo-Reum who works at the Incheon International Airport and most of the drama was filmed there. Yeo-Reum has been at the airport for a year and has constantly screwed up such as swearing at passengers and getting into scuffles with them. She has one last chance to redeem herself as she was transferred to the Passenger Services Department, she's still struggling but does have the backing of her manager.

 Yeo-Reom is also being supported by a new co-worker named Lee and what a background he has though not much has been revealed. Lee has a 'bionic arm' which is extremely powerful and he can literally pick up a car with that arm though he's a very mild mannered person. They work as a team and there is a potential romance but won't go into too many details now as not to spoil anything for the sparsely viewed recaps coming up.



















 If there's one thing I've been disappointed in over the years it's Korean magazines. On occasion you will find large spreads for some major stars but for the most part they're usually only 3-5 pages, those spreads pale horribly to the ones from Japan. Soo-Bin does appear in many mags but her sets are usually way too small, the only biggish ones were in that first intro post. Will have a pair of them in most of these posts but almost all will be in that 3-5 picture range. For today there's three pics from the March 2019 issue of Cosmopolitan and three from the June edition of Nylon.







 Like so many other Korean actresses Soo-Bin really shines at events but her star may shine even brighter. For all of her posts will have a pair of events and as I've mentioned many times before may prefer these kinds of pics over most of Idols dressed very skimpy. This first batch is from the 2018 'SBS Drama Awards Show' that took place on December 31st., she won the 'Best Actress Award for her role in the "Where Stars Land" drama.















 Who knows how many pics will be in all of this year's posts, my estimate is about 40,000. Of course the vast majority are overly super duper but it'll be hard to top this final set of pics which are from December 30, 2017. On that date Soo-Bin was at the 2017 'MBC Drama Awards' ceremony where she won another best actress award for her role in 'The Rebel" series. But the award she should have won was for the most breathtaking attire as once again my cold water bill will be through the roof! Short video of the event after the pics and will have more from the event in future posts, still can't this is only Soo-Bin's second post....whew!!!!
