When they first start promoting this drama the main actess in the trailer was Kim Min Jung from (New Heart) it was say she took the place of Han Ji Min of (Cain and Abel) due to a serious shoulder injury right before air time. When I download it yesterday it had the actress from (City of Glass) this drama is starting of unlucky. I will wait till it’s completed since I’m not a great fan of the main actress and the storyline not appealing to me.
November 20th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
don’t be sad oppa,we love you!!!
will support you till the last episode…
