I never once imagined Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hae-sun starring together in a series - a romcom, at that. Both actors are talented and can “hard-carry” any drama they star in no matter how bad the other casting, script, or directing is. They shine individually so seeing them together is rather odd but it sure…

A follow-up project to a hit series would always be nerve-wracking but I don’t think that’s the case for Park Eun-bin.
