January 24th, 2013 at 5:21 am
Wow, Han Chae Young is the second lead and Park Ha Sun is the first lead? Park Ha Sun sure has a lot of exposures lately, Tone Deaf Clinic and all.

I can’ believed that Han Chae Young and Jo Hyun Jae plays second lead on this film . They are so cute and famous more Park Ha Sun and Jin Goo ..
Like han chae yong and jo hyun jae’s acting & in only u,pretty and handsome .. heehee
January 24th, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Wow Han Chae Young and Jo Hyun Jae again 2nd time around I love their former drama “Only You”
By the way who are the other 2 lead…..very unfamiliar names but they seem to be front of this drama

I miss them BOTH

Actually, I know that it doesn’t matter if the star become 2nd lead character as long as the drama is interesting and have good script for the actor and actress to show their talent and skill well enough in acting. But, Jo Hyun Jae and Han Chae Young are good. I mean, they are the best! Why they be the 2nd leading characters in this drama. It shocked me!!! In fact, I admire them, respect them. They perceived themselves as actor and actress and their profession, not the star. It kind of hard for the supposedly main character to accept 2nd leading position. Try to ask Lee Byung Hun, Song Hye Gyo (I like her) or Song Seung Hun (I like him) to act as 2nd leading…hmm..
January 26th, 2013 at 12:17 am
opss!!gonna be waiting for this…seems to be fun!!!i love this kind of dramas and the cast as well..
January 26th, 2013 at 9:46 pm

January 27th, 2013 at 6:51 pm
Han Chae Young and Jo Hyun Jae on the 2nd lead roles? Is this a JOKE?!
January 28th, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Ouwww Jo Hyun Jae oppa is BACK ! ㅋㅋㅋ Love him since he’s working with song hye kyo !!!! Fighting ! I will watch this drama for sure !!!

You’re right, reunion of ONLY YOU main leads but they seem to be the 2nd leads in this drama. I know Park Ha Sun is now a famous actress after playing Queen In-hyun in 2009 drama Dong Yi but the main lead actor is unfamiliar to me. HAN CHAE YOUNG and JO HYUN JAE were included in my first korean favorite stars way back their team-up in ONLY YOU. the two had been a leading stars on their previous dramas, why make it a second lead now?
January 30th, 2013 at 1:14 pm
oops! Dong Yi is 2010 drama, not 2009.
January 30th, 2013 at 1:25 pm
Mmm.. synopsis is neither here nor there. Four people well suited to their occupations is so-so on my “interest” meter.
Soooo.. I’m only watching because the cast is interesting. No thanks to the spiel.
January 30th, 2013 at 1:35 pm
#20 Park Ha Sun was also in High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged. Adorable, as were the rest of the cast.
January 30th, 2013 at 8:23 pm
omwoooo…. cant wait….. well btw, i like the soundtrack in the trailer abobe….
maybe if i have much time i will watch it… ^^
January 30th, 2013 at 9:08 pm
