rozelan 893 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello to everyone, this drama I think has a talented, hard-working, good looking cast that exudes much warmth, some of whom I've met in previous dramas. Thank you for starting the thread @Jillia Kwon Na-Ra for me was memorable in her monologue about love and AI from 'My Mister" while Lee Tae-Hwan I'll alway remember from Come Back Mister, as a manly bodyguard in love with a person with a womanly body and a 'guy's spirit/soul'. Kim Myung-soo from Miss Hammurabi first, then Angel and Lee Yi-Kyung from Partners in Justice and More Than A Maid.. Me: 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
