Hi Hollywood
I don’t know if you started watching this drama or if you even going to start. It been a dry spell for me in K-drama but am back on my addiction. I been watching Lady Castle and Heading To The Ground. They are similar where the co-actress have a better chemistry with the lead actor. It’s really apparent in this drama, there are a lot of scene’s where the HB and BG connect but it nothing like BG and Potato. When he got the red card and was feeling bad, I exhale when she told him that it was a bad call, it was unfair but next time show them the real BG! I felt the years of friendship between them in that one comment. It wasn’t only about the dialog but the delivery, they are really good together. The best was the staircase scene when he carried her up the flight of stairs. It was the most endearing gesture I have seen since the piggy back ride…LOL I love how they are so comfortable with each other. The way Potato defends BG and support him is special. He said that she is his only friend and it evident when they are together. When she jump in the river and saved him….LOL and when she found out the agent is close to SW she told him to quit because she didn’t want him near the person that cause him pain (we find out what really happen soon). She really is a true friend and he too her as while.
I’m really into this drama not because of the obvious romance but because of the friendship and the storyline as a whole. I think U-know is doing a good job for his first real acting drama. The main actress I have seen in couple of other drama and still she come off a dry,boring and uninteresting. I felt that way about her in “Who Are You and Snow Flower. She one of those actress when I watch her I think this character should be played by another actress that able to capture the viewer attention she don’t become the character the character is played by her. (my personal opinion) Surprisingly the co actress (we got married girl) is really good. I find myself watching this drama to see how she develop. As always it just the beginning it going to go hay wire somewhere it an k-drama there not many that stay good from beginning, middle and end (City Hall and Last Scandal) but we can only hope.
As always I hope every thing is well with you and your family and look fore-ward to reading some of you reviews in upcoming drama.

Much as U Know is cute and Go Ah Ra is pretty, unfortunately they can’t act and it shows… Worst of all, there’s no chemistry between the two of them…
