From what I've glimpsed about the personality of 2PM's Junho, someone just told him he's now a cheabol/hotel heir and his love interest is Yoona, and then rolled the cameras, lol.
Joking aside, I love Junho's acting in this. His comedic timing is on point, and his chemistry with Yoona looks so natural.
Just want to say how pleasantly surprised I was to see Black extras (plural) in an international scene. Too often international/American translates to white, and it was getting old. I don't know if it was serendipity or if the events of last year has somewhat broadened the Korean gaze, but I like it!
I could kiss however came up with this brilliant pairing! I have long been a fsn of both of these guys and I've loved watching their bromance/chemistry. I hope there will be a second season!
I really have to say this! As an equestrian army, watching Tae ride made me cringe. I remember being impressed with his seat during the Hwarang behind/clips. He did say that he hadn't ridden in a while this time, so perhaps he was basing his riding on recollections from what's seen in film/tv (correct riding is rarely shown with flapping, kicking, and pulling being more visually stimulating and easier for actors to execute on a tolerant mount). But his aids were atrocious!
From the looks of it, he rented a horse rather than having taken a lesson- thankfully these rental horse types are typically conditioned to be pretty tolerant. I couldn't tell if the horse was wearing a tie down or some type of martingale. Nor could I tell if that tack helped or hindered his ride, but the horse's body language spoke of frustration/confusion from all that flapping and pulling. Despite knowing the outcome, I was worried he'd get dumped or pitched.
I'm sure he doesn't have the time, but I wish somebody would teach him the correct application of the aids at each gait as well as the affect of bits/reins on a horses mouth. I also question an establishment that doesn't take potential clients through each pace (walk, trot, canter) in an enclosed area to check the suitability of horse & rider pair/doesn't properly explain to the client which ques the horse has been taught to respond to. If only to limit liability and delay the inevitable burnout of their stock.
Confidence in the saddle can gloss over poor equitition. But on the plus side, V's seat was still pretty good (impressive really) , and I could tell he was having fun... I want to say that's all that matters, but safety should always be the top priority, followed by the wellbeing of the horse, human enjoyment comes after. I'm not blaming him, nor am I trying to hate on him, but I really couldn't let it pass without comment.

Really enjoyed the series otherwise.
