@OK Ok OK,
Finally you are back after your exams. I have viewed the series and are satisfied with AJW’s performance.
September 5th, 2012 at 2:52 am
@ JL
I don’t like the ending bc the nbr 1 bad man Jang Chul Hwan was not punished n still continue his bad ways though KKT has forgiven
his childhood ‘brothers’. JCHwan didn’t harm them bc KKT got hold of his crime account bk.
September 5th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
I agreed with u, it ended with Cha Soo Hyuk sacrificed. As what he mentioned the last solution.
Anyway do u watch other series like Faith@ the Great Doctor with AJW appeared as Guest Star of Kim Hee Sun’s ex bf.on 1 eps.
September 7th, 2012 at 2:52 am
@ JL
Yes I watch Faith since day 1. AJW is quite cute there n he is SO FUNNY. Was shocked to see the ‘commotion’ in Faith’s page. Whats yr opinion? I just wrote some comments over there

@ OK OK OK,
Yes, I hv viewed yr comments and share yr opinions too. I only watch bc of KHS. Her char. some kind of blunt and funny as what she said. As for LMH, he is not fav. but I slowly like his char. in this show.
My only fav. is AJW. – I hv written some comments to u on AJW’s page.

Lee Jung Won is in this drama. Because he has that kind of look like he is a gangster, he plays another mean guy. I can’t stand this actor. He is on my list of ” do not see dramas because Lee Jung Won is in it”
