Is the best drama I’ve seenand I don’t think that will be any one can beat on it . I would like that Kim Hyun-joong to play in several drama because it’s my favorite actor and singer. I think that role in BOF suits him even if in reality he is not so sentimental. i want that in his next drama to play the role of a comic or bad guy . I want that in his next drama to play the role of a comic or bad guy .
