Samuel Yohanes Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I love them on I have a lover Such amazing chemistry so i guess we got a treat here. My only problem is that i just realized how similiar this synopsis was with tvn drama that will airing soon ( flower of evil ) i mean it is different character and job indeed but we got the same two men hiding their identities and both got wife too. I hope it is not too similiar so people dont compare it to one another. But because this is a remake i hope for the best because the two lead is so reliable and we already see their blazing chemistry before 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she becomes a candidate for commissioner, his secrets make them vulnerable to a spiraling power struggle. Ji Jin-hee said, “I picked this project because I was so touched by Han Jung-hyun [my character] and how he sacrifices himself for the ones he loves. I’m looking forward to working with Kim Hyun-joo, whom I haven’t seen in a long time.
