I love this drama! Normally I would mind having to read the subtitles (I’m American) But I immediately grew to love it. I love how all the characters grow and become closer- I just LOVE it. Period. Lol.
I noticed there were only 25 episodes on Netflix. Is there only 25 episodes total or is there more?
I would appriciate an answer!!! Thanks!

best ever drama and nice acting by lee min hoo
November 14th, 2012 at 4:01 am
Kim hey in sun is so annoying and she drives me crazy. The story is good, the guys are good, the songs are good but Jan Di is not. She over acts and everything is about her. Her eyes are creepy, they are so big and black.
