"Ko Gyeom (I still don't know how to pronounce the name.) seems like a red flag, teasing and flirting with Kim Mubee, kissed her, then left her. A few years later, they met again, he’s still flirting and teasing her. But this time, it wouldn't be easy to win her heart again," another fan said.
"My boo Woo-shik and my favourite Korean actress Park Bo-young! I can’t wait!" another fan added.
