K-Culture: Dog-like vs Cat-like Faces

Categories K-Wonderlust1 Comment on K-Culture: Dog-like vs Cat-like Faces

K-drama muggles may find it weird that Koreans often compared their beloved actors/actresses’ faces to dogs, cats, and other animal faces. But if you think about it, the resemblance is there.

"The world is the same as before but you're not here anymore." - Son Oh-gong, Hwayugi Episode 19 PK's Choice Just like Jeo Pal-gye (Lee Hong-ki), I think I also held on to the fact that Jeong Se-ra (Lee Se-young) could still come back after Ah Sa-nyeo vanished.

Fighting heaven's plans is not that simple. The Evil Priestess' Tears I could recite hundred ways to punish demonic shaman Ah San-nyeo (Lee Se-young) but this episode reminded me why she became evil.
