Can’t hardly wait…Kim Myung Min in Beethoven’s Virus (Wow!). For sure, he’s going to play eccentric role again (^^).
October 29th, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Hope it will be a good comedy! For some reasons I’m rapidly getting tired of Ohlala Couple which I thought I would like.
A mix between On Air and History of a Salaryman would be awesome!
I will try to keep my expectations low and see what happens…

I agree Nong, I like him too, he is a good actor.
