@dania
Ha ji won looks too strong and assertive
yoona is too skinny and bland
han jimin played capital scandal already and she looks too old
Park min yong is too cute
Lee Yeon Hee has a wooden face
So this actress is not soo bad. It is a good thing for the show that she is not very popular and not very cute.

June 8th, 2012 at 8:42 am

June 8th, 2012 at 9:06 am

June 8th, 2012 at 9:33 am
The lead actress is pretty. Ain’t nothing wrong with her. And I repeat WHO GIVES A DAMN SHE NOT POPULAR. she will be soon enough!!!!!! Why not focus. Ore the on the quality of the show!!!!!! I’m through with your stupid, unvalidated arguments!!!!
June 8th, 2012 at 11:06 am
ya agree with cases just focus to the quality of story..stop our conversation about the lead actress..too early to judge her now..just open heart for the lead actress,
June 8th, 2012 at 11:47 am
is anyone watch ep 4 yep ….
shit his life is so sad…..
June 8th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
@cases
Thanks for saying that. I agree with you. Finally someone who said it.
Just because some people ship him with Uee, doesn’t mean he should always do a drama with her. It seriously gets out of the hand.
People should not judge an actress based on her prettyness.
The drama itself should be the most interesting not the cast. Of course you can be excited because of the cast but the main focus should be the story and the acting. As for that the acting, the acting of the girl is pretty good.
June 8th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
i’ve watched ep 4…crying..crying….
June 8th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
She is not that great as Ha Ji Won, Han Ji Min or Han Ga In but these actresses work in this business for quite a while, while she is new and young.
Besides for a ROOKIE actress, her acting is not that bad especially the fighting scenes are well-made.
June 8th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
we get more details of Kangto’s past to understand his motivations. still i think it’s too extreme to kill innocent people just to catch gaksital. what a great ending to ep 4!
June 8th, 2012 at 10:55 pm
i understand why kang to so cruel at ep 3, but some idea with Kdfan(136) why must kill innocent people to catch gaksital. its too extreme for me
but whatever he did..i give two thumb for Joo won’s acting skill..great, great
anyhow love triangle will gonna interesting..
now i start to watch ep 4..
June 8th, 2012 at 11:16 pm
Amazing..luv this drama alot..how good action..
joo won kerennnnnnnnnnn
June 9th, 2012 at 12:00 am
Love Joo Won so much…
)
June 9th, 2012 at 12:47 am
guys i’m confused , after watched ep 4..i find that the woman (mokdan) who kang to used her to catch bridal mask actually his first love from his childhood.. and the knife is Kangto’s was gave her when their childhood.
but mokdan thought the knife is kimura sunji as owner, also thought that kimura as his friend(first love) that separated when childhood ?? why to be like this?? is it right or i just misunderstand??
The story getting better n better, more interesting.. so stop talking un useless about the lead actress.. just focus the story.. very very good ..at all
June 9th, 2012 at 1:16 am
I think episode 4 is the starting point changes Kang to be a good character. he found that the conflicting feelings that mokdan is his first love and he began to suspect that gaksital is her own brother..is so hard time for him..
once again Two thumb for joo won..he good in any character..always make us love n care to him and shin hyun joon so great here..love his acting
June 9th, 2012 at 1:23 am
@tey no, mokdan does not think that shunji is the owner of the dagger. shunji was the japanese boy she met at the hospital when she was young, when he was trying to save his nanny. he knew about the dagger bec he saw mokdan praying to meet young master.
June 9th, 2012 at 8:29 am
@kdfan
oooh i see.. ha ha ha ya he is japanese, how i’m so confused, thanks for remembering me.. ya i found that at ep 2..what the reason why she has friendship with sunji..
so this is the way why kang san always try save her, right?
i guess ep 5 will more interesting..love triangle already start..
June 9th, 2012 at 11:24 am
i cant wait to watch ep 5…
this drama is very interesting….
June 9th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
joo won always the best
but for the lead actress you all must check your eyes..
June 9th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
@tey i dont think kangsan knows mokdan is the girl from his childhood. I think he will save anybody in danger just so happened to be mokdan.
June 9th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
the lead lady is okay since she doesn’t care her beauty in front of the camera like other actresses,and uh she’s the same age as me. why she’s that young? i hope she’ll success in the future. i like both of the main leads. love love bridal mask
June 9th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
joo won always adorable whatever he did, even he cruel..so love him
June 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
joo won can talk any emotions with his eyes..luv luv luv him so much..
