i like this drama so much..

First class K drama, I love it! Watched everything out of hollywood, then found Kdrama. Life is renewed! I have found secret treasure from Korea! I wish the subtitles were better tho, they were good but missing in places for spoken words.. and not present at all for things like written text the actors were reading to themselves. We had to guess what the papers said.
