Gals out there, beware of these show and both the lead guys have high voltage of electricity that could electrocute you till you can't say a word.
Yet your attention can never leave Sam Soon because of her attitute, her words, and her character. She is plump but with dignity... and her own thinking... never to let guys manipulate her, although she is afraid that she will be left on the shelf. Hyun bin has officially been promoted in my hall of fame to the top this week ^^
Although Daniel Henney is so much more good looking, i know i prefer Hyun Bin type of guy, slightly childish, chauvinist, yet showing love in his own little way...... *Melt just by thinking*Do remember to catch it on CHannel U, 10pm Monday to Friday! *hope i didn't get the timings wrong* Please correct me if i'm wrong.. I watched the dvds =X
