The lead guy did well in Ojakyo Farm (as a police officer). Hopefully, the writers would give him a serious character.
May 23rd, 2012 at 3:47 pm
I think the pic above of a guy with moustache is actually a lady in disguise of a man. Because it is obvious it is a woman.

He played two different characters, must be very exciting and challenging her ability in acting, but I’m sure he’s able to
May 27th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
@ mew (39)
stories of BKTG about rivalry of two prospective heir to a bakery in the company ‘, the story is simple but very interesting plot, full of emotion and rivalry, revenge. Joo Won plays an antagonistic role very well, although the role of antagonist, but he managed to make people fall in lovewith him
May 28th, 2012 at 12:04 am
i still miss ny detective hwang tae hee in ojakgyo brothers and his lovely wife Baek Ja eun..missed them like crazy
but still i will watch this drama for the sake of Joo won
i dont care about his co-star
pls..more actions,and less kiss
