@Gina: the scene in the car was of Ha Juntae talking to Lee Shinmi’s father – they both missed the flight. I think this was after Cheolmin died, but Juntae was going to go ahead to Kyrgyzstan on his own to pursue metals business. He did not show Shinmi’s father the necklace. He’d shown Cheolmin the necklace just before the man’s death.

May 1st, 2012 at 1:39 am
Lee Si Young’s acting was AWESOME….I loved how natural she is with the comic roles. Still on the 12′th episode. Thought i should highlight what i liked about the show so far. Lead chemistry is getting better but not that great.
June 23rd, 2012 at 2:38 am
The song that Seok Bong sung when he’s busking is Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard.
