- I’m glad it’s Lee Chaeminㅠ He and Yoona look great together too!
- Wow, the rookie did really well even though the time was super tight.
- He’s so handsome, and he had great chemistry with Yoona.
- I was surprised that the historical drama tone was more stable than I expected. Actually, since a younger actor played it, it fit the character better. The casting change was way better ㅋㅋ
