Remarks

by FanFanX

[First Impression (Ep1-2)] I'm here for Kim Ji-Won (and her outfits)! TBH, Kim Soo-Hyun does nothing for me but he's making me laugh. Park Sung-Hoon is looking sinister in this. My favorite knucklehead, Kwak Dong-Yeon is back. 

[Actors/Actresses] A+ for supporting actors - gotta love them or hate them. 

[Behind the Scenes] Cute CP.
