Leeyah Apr 08 2025 8:41 am Please why Episode 8 isn't yet out

Peejay Mar 14 2025 12:31 am I am wondering why the drama has poor rating. although of course one of the reason is that it is in Pay TV and ENA is not top ratingPay TV channel. And maybe because there are no blockbuster actors in the drama. The story is good and the actors are great. I hope they get better viewership before the end of the drama.

Jillibean Dec 21 2024 6:02 pm What a great cast. I am so glad Jeon Hye Jin is returning to acting after losing her husband so tragically. She is very talented. I've loved Jo Min Soo since Sandglass and Will It Snow For Christmas? Loved Jung Jin Young in Love Rain and Jun Suk Ho in Jirisan. Hopefully there will be a synopsis added soon for this future project.

Chole Nov 06 2024 11:18 am I'm not Korean but I'm really excited about this especially that jeon hye-jin is my favorite kdrama actor. I'm really looking forward to this brand new movie!!
