--------------------------
So? How many poeple are waiting for this one? I bet thousands. Will this upcoming drama win our hearts or flop right from very start? No one knows. We shall wait and see. Personally I think that 50 episodes is a bit scary lenght. It will be hard to make it not repetitive and streched. The plot doesn't seem anything special but it really is something I like. This may make up for the fact that Cain and Abel will never come to life. But even more interesting tahn plot is the cast. Hot, hot, hot, hot and beautiful cast. And there are so much of them...

I'm a bit disappointed that Dennis Oh got a minor role again... The best thing about him is taht he really can speak English. I can forgive his funny sounding Korea because of that. Hot or not? Judge yourself?


I haven't seen main actor Song Seung Hun in any drama before. The only popular and well known drama of hsi is Autumn Tale well and maybe Summer Scent. He did act in a movie He was Cool but I don't quite remember him from there. But they, hot looks and 5 awards is nice isn't it?!


Yun Jung Hoon is cute too (actually very plain looking)and his acting skills are pretty good as well. Please do NOT look at dramawiki picture... I dunno when or who but it's awful. Did you know that he is married to Han Ga In?

looking cute together^^

Anyways. His English sucks. I just finished wtaching Snow White and his character was very cute in it but when he said those few lines in English... I couldn't tell what Arabic language was that supposed to mean... well, I think he will do a good job. only one award? Thsi guy is not very popular...


Then absolutley unknown to me Park Hae Jin. He is pretty young too but has alredy won 3 awards. I wonder what made KBS-man change to MBC? Money? but who cares, one eye candy more!


Lee Da Hae. I hate her from the bottom of my heart because she sucks at acting. I have seen her in My Girl and in some other drama I can't remember now. I so hope that she has taken some acting courses and studied a bit. Her acting is so fake and it drives me so mad.


Lee Yeon Hee is someone I like. She is one of my favorite actresses and there are only few. She is 1 year younger than me but look at her. She has worked with Gong Yoo, Hyun Bin and So Ji Sub alredy. This makes me kinda jealous... Her career is impressive, alredy 5 dramas + 1 mini drama and 3 movies. And there is something cute about her, something special that I like. Her speech is soft and her face looks freindly. She is really cute and I love cute things, so this may be the reason why I like her...


I remember Han Ji Hye from Sweet 18 and remember NOT liking her (mostly because of her character though). Gosh, why do I keep hating these women? Or rather why do all actresses I hate all star in one drama?


When I heard Jo Min Ki I immediately thought "That charming man from Iljiame" but to find a good picture of him wasn't easy xD His appearance in Iljimae wasn't long but he was impressive. At leats I really liked him. Well, it looks like his acting career hasn't been very rosy or then he took a break or something.


Park Gun Tae. I was happy to see this adorable kid on the list. He is only 13 but has acted in 4 movies and in 5 dramas alredy. I have seen him in Time of Dog and Wolf and in MISA. He was very impressive in MISA in which he had very difficult role. I will never forget the scene when he asked Moo-hyuk not to leave and stay with them. I'm getting teary eyed again T_T


The extended cast was bunch of nobodies to me. Some had impressively long drama lists. I will wait with open heart and see myself if I'll find any new addition to my favorites list.
