Have never watched JunHo before, but I’m loving him in this drama lol. He’s soooo adorable, and they have great chemistry together. And the kiss is indeed very hot. All in all, it’s a light hearted, very enjoyable drama to watch. JunHo is cute, Yoona’s character is great, I love her grandma and her friends, the casts do feel like long time friends, the music is superb. My only complaint: I have to wait every week for just 2 eps!
I enjoy JunHo’s other dramas…to me, Junho is one of SKorea better actor of his age group. He picks quite good dramas. I was so excited to see him lead in this drama…
Like him in The Red Sleeve.
lmao same. I watch Taecyeon, his bandmate, but I haven’t gotten into any kdrama in recent years. Oh, I’m so happy someone talked about the music. I forgot which ep, but they played Eyes, Nose, Lips by Taeyang!! <3
I have a extremely soft spot for Taecyeon….but his acting skills just just a note level then Junho… But I enjoying watching Taecyeon on reality shows…he is such a darling.
This show does cheesy romcom tropes so well. I’ve been enjoying it also! Junho is an excellent actor that I forget about his idol roots. There’s been many idol turned actors, and definitely some have an innate talent for acting such as Park Hyungsik, Im Siwan, and Junho. Then there’s some others that still need a lot of honing…
I agree, not many can do both well. Junho is one.
