Wow, this drama hasn’t air yet, but it’s already indication for shippings war from both actors’ fans. ^^’

Jaewon oppa fighting….
I love all his drama…. i’m so happy that i can watch him again…. I want him to be with the female lead in this drama, but i also like Jae Hee oppa…. Good luck to everyone…. i’m one of your fans from Philippines… 
August 13th, 2012 at 2:10 am
This is probably the most unique love triangle I’ve seen, in terms of actors. Both guys have been leads in many dramas before. It will be fun watching them fight…. Kim Jae Won oppa… fighting…

@Gretz16 #56 Sorry for the error in ur name. One of the hazards of typing on Iphone here with the share box on screen which blocks out part of the screen:-D

@ Jennie 57,
It’s OK, no problem at all… i’m too excited to watch this drama that every day i have to check all the latest news about it. 
Honestly, the only artist that can make me watch 30+ episode drama is Kim Jae Won, i’m a big fan of him since 2006…
August 13th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
@Gretz16 Me too. Became his fan since I saw him in Romance
Who can resist that sweet looking face and equally sweet smile of his huh? And he is so charismatic as an actor – just look at all the awards that he has won. He has pretty much covered all of them in terms of looks and talent. He has the excellence, best actor, most popular, best dressed, most talented awards – what else is there that he hasn’t won, heeheee. I hope he gets another one for this drama just to show that he has not lost his touch after military service 
August 13th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
@ Jennie, you are right… I wish he will get the Best Actor Award this year, his talent in acting is absolutely outstanding. He can make you laugh and cry at the same time… He is excellent in almost all category…
August 13th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
wuaaaa, kim ja won and ja hee, can’t wait to see them acting in the same drama .. really love jae hee in my sassy girl chun hyang
August 13th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
I think this drama will make a big hit…. all the cast are very talented…. i’ll be watching this…. Looks like the 2 actors have a lot of loyal fans… and i’m one of them….
Kim Jae Won done well in CYHMH, i think he is one of the best actors in Korea…
August 13th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
