I watched most of Prison Playbook thinking the part of Kim Je-Hyun was played by Cho Seung-woo when in actuality it was Park Hae-soo who had this role. Do you think they look alike? ~ Pat

Judy here. This is a novice error. When I first started watching Kdramas I could not tell the actors apart. (You know..... all white people look like.... that kind of thing.) And I was amazed when actors would recognize photos of each other... I mean, how could they tell them apart? Now that I'm a seasoned veteran I feel pretty comfortable identifying the men.
As for the women, of course I cannot distinguish them! Even with subtitles and different names those beautiful Korean women resemble one another. Maybe if I could get my eyes off the gorgeous Korean men I could improve my skills identifying the women. ....but why bother?

Back to Pat.... NOVICE ERROR??? You’re calling me a NOVICE? Do you know to whom you are speaking? This is something up with which I will no longer put!*
*taken from Ben Affleck’s riff on Keith Olbermann from CNN on SNL in 2013. I still find it hysterically funny.



I’ve got a few down: Kim Tae-ri, Shin Min ah, and of course Son Yi Jin!
I see differences among the lovely Korean actresses, but I can't name a single one nor probably keep their names straight.
