The Noona Chronicles

 On November 30, Song Kang joined the Sweet Home 2 cast for the drama's press conference. The actor announced that Sweet Home 2 will be his last work before his military enlistment.  Sweet Home 2 is a last work. of course, it's a duty to serve in the military, but until then, I'll work hard on the rest of Sweet Home 2 promotions. I'll go forward on Sweet Home 2 and come back with a more better appearance/ performance.  It wasn't that I felt so determined just because it was my last work before enlisting, but Sweet Home was the biggest work that made me as who I am now, so I thought a lot and wrote many things about Hyunsoo in my diary.  It is a fantasy creation story and far away from the reality, so whenever I encountered some parts that I couldn't understand, I tried to think a lot on that. I also thought a lot about Hyunsoo's mindset of wanting to save the monster situation amidst of him turning into one. Source

We don’t need to see another male character—one punching a computer monitor at that—to be the lead of a K-Drama. Strong man… f*ck th...
