Hi Everyone,
I am a University student doing currently my dissertation on how Korean tv drama influences potential tourists to visit Korea. I would be glad, if you could complete my questionnaire. It takes around 5 minutes to complete. Thank you and I appreciate it in advance. Please share it with other drama fans 😊

Oh my . . . this cast is good. Ji Jin Hee looking good as always. And the gorgeous Kim Kyu Ri. I always find it hard to shake the image of her in “Portrait of a Beauty”. Kang Han Na was the vision of beauty in “Familiar Wife”. The drama so far is riveting. With this cast it will be joy to watch.

Those military men who have faced the horrors of war, who have fought on the frontlines are the least interested in war. They that saw their fellow comrades fall on the battlefield are the least interested in waging a war. The narrative that military people are war mongers is promulgated by evil nut-jobs.

This drama is so good!!!! The cast can act so well. It has been a long time I come across drama with great chemistry among the cast!
Kudos to Ji Jin Hee who could put forth such good acting and bringing everyone together. I love the scene where he was shot in ep 11 and how he acted in pain!
My first time watching Son Suk Goo. He is a talent in acting and I m sure he will go a long way. I fell in love watching him in this drama and how he naturally put off the role.
Ha NA was good and I couldnt recognise her in the new role. I was so stuck with her familiar wife character.
Good job in identifying the cast!

Super! Super! Every episode! It has been a long time that I come across such a great drama. Sometimes it is so exciting that I had to stop for a while to walk away as my heart can stop watching the show.
