Notes
- All scenes shot in Korea took place on Jeju Island, while overseas scenes were filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa.
- A shooting site of 6,417 square meters was especially constructed in Seoguipo, Jeju for this drama.
- Production was shut down due to several cases of the H1N1 virus among staff members. This in turn caused the cancellation of the press conference and episode 1 being pushed back to air on 2009-July-09.

Please tell me what classical music was played by the leading girl as a young cellist as well as when she played it later that caught the attention of the leading man. Would like to know the composer as well as the name. Thank you. I was fascinated by this drama and enjoyed all the characters.

This is long and boring drama.First 4 episodes are not bad, but the show becomes boring and stupid.Jung Woo character isn’t every interesting. He kills many Africans but could not kill any Korean, what is this all about?
plus,worst ending.
