If you haven’t watch it yet, then let me give you five (5) reasons why you should include this drama on your watchlists!
THE CHEMISTRY!
There is a “charm and chemistry” between Kim Soo Hyun & Seo Ye Ji’s team up that we didn’t expect to be this good on-screen.
In fact, some fans actually find them look similar with each other. Undeniably beautiful together!
In this series, Kim Soo Hyun plays the role of Moon Gang Tae, a caregiver who works in a hospital for psychiatric patients. He is also a loving brother to Sang Tae (Oh Jung Se) who has an autism so as much as possible he always tries to do everything just to make ends meet.
On the other hand, Seo Ye Ji’s role as Ko Mun Yeong is very wild and carefree. She is a well-known fairy tale writer with an anti-social personality which means she can be manipulative and uncontrollable at times.
Despite their character differences, will these two find love with each other? Let’s see on the rest of the episodes!
