Delighted fan Sep 10 2015 9:15 am I am a huge fan of Lee Jin Wook. Seriously, he is handsome and talented. Great actor and I am going to support him all the the way!

wookiefan Jun 02 2015 7:21 pm i don't really get these fans who are complaining about LJW's role. he did very good in this movie, and it is a lead role. an actor who is effective in every role given to him is a great actor. kudos to LJW for a job well done ^^

Jane Apr 27 2015 4:59 am This is the first Korean movie I watched at movie theater..I usually download movies but I got free ticket from KCC (the power of free^^) and watch this in the movie theater..I don't expect much but this movie is great..EPIC!!!!

Adele Apr 08 2015 7:00 am I love Kim Song Ryoung unni......she is so pretty at her age;-) and of course Lee Jin Wook oppa ;-) I do not really know the male lead , but he is excellent too！

Gertrude Apr 07 2015 5:41 pm I do not like this movie , Lee Jin Wook is a good actor but his role here really is not fit him, I love his all drama series esp Nine Times Time Travel, Three Musketeers,Spy Myung Wol,etc, but not this, sorry for my vad comment.

Gadis Mar 07 2015 7:02 pm Lee Jin Wook oppa here？a must watch then ！

feldy Feb 25 2015 7:26 pm i am fan of Lee LEE JIN WOOK，i think he acts awesome too in this movie，although he is not the main lead here but his role as a doctor is very different with his other roles.

Sir Lee Jin Wook，i really hope that your coming drama series/movie to be hits in the future，i can see your big talent in acting. you are fit to action or detective role as well. fighting！from Indonesia fan！

Retno Feb 24 2015 10:24 am I hope to see LJW as a hero in this movie but he is not:( he is not fit to his chatacter in this movie, he deserved much better character like he used to in his drama series！he is really awesome in his tv series Nine and Spy Myeong Wol. he really can act and cool！I am not satisfied ！

hansen Jan 31 2015 11:32 pm why not Lee.Jin Wook as the first lead role here？:( i think he is supposed to be the main lead in this movie. I feel a bit disappointed :-[
