Grace has three shows coming up this weekend. August 23rd at the Den Theater in Chicago, August 24th at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago and August 25th at the Milwaukee Improv.[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the show Born Again (2020, KBS) starring Jang Ki-yong, Jin Se-yeon and Lee Soo-hyuk. Grace appreciates Jang Ki-yong’s role playing a mentally unstable character. It is exactly what she needed. She also loves how terrible the show is. She qualifies it as a makjang for the books.
