Shin Sung Rok has played unforgettable negative roles in Liar Game and You From Another Star and this is the reason I find his newest role in upcoming Kairos quite refreshing where he plays a father whose life is turned upside down when his daughter is kidnapped. The drama is a fantasy thriller which also stars Lee Se Young as a Continue reading

After 2 episodes, I can say it was a good choice. Continue reading
