I always thought NamSM looked oddly old fashioned. She has a face that belongs to a bygone era. Now here is a drama that is perfect for her.

Hi Admin
In Ep 14 ending part, there is an elegant actress acting as the female boss of Victoria Nightclub. I didn’t see any picture that looks like her in this page May I know her name and profile because I wish to comment about her in her page. She is a great actress. She also acted in ongoing drama – Take care of us, Captain as Koo Hye Sun’s mother who passed away after giving birth to a baby girl. Kamsa Hamnida
