Queen of Reversals star Kim Nam-joo wrote a book, and it’s shooting up the ranks. Methinks they timed it well, with the premiere of her drama. The collection of essays and photographs, called Kim Nam-joo’s House, is a candid discussion of her family life and home.
Of particular interest, of course, is her marriage to actor Kim Seung-woo (IRIS), along with their two kids, and their happy home. Kim opened the doors of their house to have photographs taken for the book, and reportedly shows an enviable knack for interior design. Not surprising, since she’s always impeccably dressed.
The 39-year old actress has an impressively long resume, with 14 dramas and 2 films. I for some reason always remember her in the 1997 drama Model, where she starred opposite Jang Dong-gun when their careers were just budding. She’s also my definition of a true CF queen, because I’ve seen her face in cosmetics ads since time immemorial.
Her latest drama, Queen of Reversals, is really adorable. I love the speedy pace of it, and I’m in the mood for a little drama at this point. It’s actually very lighthearted and funny, with just the right amount of workplace drama to fuel my hatred for her nemesis, Coffee Prince’s Chae Jung-ahn. Her chemistry with Jung Jun-ho is really cute, and I’m a huge fan of the premise: two people who marry too quickly, and then encounter all the drama after their vows.
It’s nothing revolutionary, drama-wise, but it’s fluffy, fast-moving, and funny to boot. Am definitely enjoying this lighthearted romp.
Below is the book cover, a photo from her wedding, and shots from her now-famous Vogue spread with her husband, aka My Fantasy of What It’s Like to Be Married to Kim Seung-woo. What?

they don’t seem to have trouble keeping the spark
yeap, it’s hot. idk, knowing that they are husband & wife makes it is even hotter.
kim nam joo! xD
Yep, I like the first and last pic!! she looks pretty
She is just awesome. The last two pics are HOT & SEXY
she looks so classy in that first photo, lovely! and i like the book cover, makes her seem so personable and inviting, definitely a winning combo if you want to get people to read your book!
Is she wearing a Yeti in the fourth picture?
…She is!!
I must say that I really like the cover of the book. I agree with snow, it really does make her seem personable. The house also seems quite warm and cozy (not that I can really tell from the door).
This woman is gorgeous.
I love the last two pics, so dramatic.
I love queen of housewives and now your positive review of her new drama makes me really want to watch it, thanks!!!!
I dont like her for seducing a married man..Kim Seung Woo is a jerk for trashing his former wife Lee Mi Yeon because of his affair wtih her.
even i know for whatever reason cheat is wrong . Sometimes after lee miyeon’s hypocrite charity revealed, no wonder kim seung woo Falled to another woman.
after watched Win win for many episodes, i found he is an easy going person. he is so funny, i like his personality. no wonder he has many best friend
this might sound bad but…
Kim Seungwoo is my ahjusshi crush. cant blame KNJ for falling for him cause i bet if i were in her shoes, i MIGHT do the same thing… sigh. i just get all girly seeing him.
yup. especially after last Lee miyeon “fake” Charity. i think ” Yup it was a Good idea looking another woman “. If he is totally bastard, he wouldn’t have many best friend.
Some of Win win Guests , i think they accepted to appear because their relationship with him. From the way he accept Jokes from his hoobae, this Guy is an easy going person.
Sorry, but I just want to say that it’s NEVER a “good idea” to cheat. People are not black or white… you can’t just label them good or bad because they are always a little bit of both. So just because you think Lee Mi Yeon is a “bad” person, that does not in any way justify Kim Seung Woo cheating on her. He could have broke it off with Lee Mi Yeon and then started his relationship with Kim Nam Joo.
With that being said, I do like both Kim Seung Woo and Kim Nam Joo. I just hate it when people try to justify cheating.
it’s Kim Ha nuel and not Kim Nam Joo..people keep quickly misjudged.
their romance started loooonnnngggg after they were divorced.
Oh god. Whenever I see the Vogue photoshoot, my brain short-circuits and I can only look starry-eyed while making high pitched “GUH! GUH! GUUUUUUH” noises
I believed the rumor prior to KSW divorce was Kim Ha Neul and not Kim Nam Jo.
Can I ask what their age difference is?
around 3 or 2 years i think.. they suit each other.
yay!!! i thought i was the only one who is enjoying QoR…thanks girlfriday for being a confidante…i like the pace, the cute, the fun, the story…i also like that every main character has a backstory and a quite appealing personality not just some cardboard cut-out characters…really hating the team leader and the director…loving junho-namjoo cuteness!!! and PARK SHI HOO!!!!
YAYYY really… i love QoR too

I want to see her home interiors and will be heading to my local Korean bookstore to check it out. Just hope they didn’t wrap the book in cellophane.
She’s holding his armpit while she’s wearing a gorilla costume that’s pink…
“She’s holding his armpit ”
