★★★✮☆

The 14+-hour ride from Manila to Cagayan was a bliss thanks to this series. Now I know the secret to surviving long trips.

A Tagalized version of this was shown years back, but I still haven’t caught the Kdrama bug then. Saw several episodes but couldn’t remember much. I started watching this because of Gong Yoo. And I found out na ang saya pala panoorin nito! Very light ang plot, wala masyadong heavy drama. It really captured me. Plus super charming si Gong Yoo dito.
