@Gina: the scene in the car was of Ha Juntae talking to Lee Shinmi’s father – they both missed the flight. I think this was after Cheolmin died, but Juntae was going to go ahead to Kyrgyzstan on his own to pursue metals business. He did not show Shinmi’s father the necklace. He’d shown Cheolmin the necklace just before the man’s death.

May 1st, 2012 at 1:39 am
Lee Si Young’s acting was AWESOME….I loved how natural she is with the comic roles. Still on the 12’th episode. Thought i should highlight what i liked about the show so far. Lead chemistry is getting better but not that great. 🙂
June 23rd, 2012 at 2:38 am
The song that Seok Bong sung when he’s busking is Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard.

The lead male character is absurd. This character is a pain in the neck. He just does many even illegal things.
July 8th, 2013 at 12:01 pm
This is the first drama I do not like because of the lead male actor. He is searching for his father for what reasons? To be rich, come on.
July 11th, 2013 at 1:59 pm
Nam Goong Min is not favorable at all. His hair style is ugly. His face is not appealing at all not showing much emotion, simply monotone. In every drama, I watched this person plays a stupid role (Cheongdamdong Alice), or a sly, bad person (The birth of the rich), or a person with lopsided love (Can you hear my voice?). He needs to choose a drama wisely to show that he is favorable. Cut that ugly hair, since he is not even young.

all of u shut the f**k up…..all of u would do the same if your life was like him…..and 1 more thing it’s their drama not ours….ok
