I love how Im Se Mi's characters here and in True Beauty were depicted as the one taking initiatives, making first moves and appearing as the stronger counterpart in the relationship dynamic.
this is contrary to the usually popular themes we see where the man in the relationship is apparently stronger and/or does all the cliches of saving the woman as she is falling, or the wall hand slam entrapment and then inducing the butterflies...
Oh Eui Shik's TVXQ-tip attire in real life reminded me of a character in Boys over Flowers (2009)
Ep 1 - when the gamers meet offline for the first time, and Su Jeong remarks that TVXQ-Tip looks like her homeroom teacher. We understand that this a clever reference / nod to the fact that the actor, Oh Eui Shik played her homeroom teacher in the True Beauty. Add to the fact that her gaming unnie, Seo Ha Jin was her unnie in True Beauty and love interest for Homeroom teacher as well. Love, Love these references!
But for me as soon as he (TVXQ-Tip) walks in with his leather jacket and popstar aura - the hair and face specially made me think of another character - MING from Boys over Flowers. He was a minor character - who is Jihu's friend in Macau and meets Jihu and Jandi in Ep 14-15 trip of Macau.

Anyone else feels the same, or am I a drama-oddball? 😂
Just re-watched that scene because of your comment. And the cup is not empty... Just watch frame-by-frame, you…
Really? I saw it a couple of times before adding comment here. Didn't see :/ The cup had a gold rim, which could seem like something there - but then I still don't see anything XD
Ep 2 - Around 22:59 Did Kim Shin Rok just drink out of an empty tea cup? She made it believable in any case, with that gulp in the end. Too bad we see it empty cause of the camera angle :P
Can I just say Woo Hyeon (chairman Cha) looks so handsome here ♥️ He has always been teased (lightheartedly…
I came here to comment the same thing. I know in variety shows it was said as a joke (on his looks and him not being handsome and short) but while I got it, it did piss me off to an extent that no matter how great of an actor he is, people still are jabbing him for the looks. And not just him - a lot many other actors/actresses are seen that way and therefore remain stereotyped as a comedic/villain/support character. It is unfortunate but it is true - and they all joke about it.
Anyways - glad that he has a role where he is a CEO and looks so suave, contrary to his previous roles that I have seen him in.
Joen Bae Soo playing "An Seok Ho" - NIS Team Leader here and in cross-over reference in Buried Hearts. I really love these character cross-overs/references in dramas, especially when this is highly anticipated.
isnt that the same high school as in goblin and perfect family?
It is Yonsei University, one of the SKY unis in Korea - almost there in every drama depicting a school. Always made me wonder - when do the actual students get time to study there, given there are just so many dramas shot here 😂
Also the Principal* / Seo Myeong Ju - the Reborn Rich auntie, Queen of Tears, Love Scout lawyer. In fact there are so many similarities with Love Scout
trivia - Seo Kang Joon and Cha Eun Woo are good friends IRL. Cha Eun Woo's real name is Lee Dong Min.
Seo Kang Joon's undercover character's seat mate is called Lee Dong Min. What are the odd chances! And also looks like the drama Lee Dong Min is being bullied, and SKJ is definitely going to help him....
I have nothing to say about her talent. Maybe there are people more skilled than me in this matter, to give a…
Absolutely - that is why I felt compelled to reply to DanaL's comment. We need to be empathetic when writing anything online - not just on this topic but in general.
It may seem trivial to some but words hold a lot of power, which is why we need to be responsible before posting.

I understand your concern, but I must say your comment, though perhaps well-intentioned, is NOT correct. It is not proved, and even if someone might be taking unhealthy measures to maintain a certain image due to societal and industry pressures doesn't mean they aren't beautiful.
Imagine if Moon Ga Young or someone similar were to read your comment—they would be negatively affected. How can you talk about the suicide rate while you're categorize people as beautiful or not beautiful? EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL, regardless THE BODY SHAPES. Regarding the skinny frame/unhealthy habits - SOCIETY, INDUSTRY, STANDARDS need to CHANGE.
Let's focus on PROMOTING a HEALTHIER MINDSET, SOCIETY, STANDARDS and being more EMPATHETIC in our comments.
* * * Personally, I too am alarmed seeing women like Moon Ga Young, Blackpink Rose, and other female celebs being very thin. It's unfortunate that society often imposes such standards. I hope for a change towards healthier representation.
HOWEVER I know from real life experience - some people naturally appear skinny despite their efforts to gain weight, just as others struggle to lose weight. Both body types, and everything in between, are beautiful. It's not right to assume every actress has unhealthy habits; it could be their natural body shape.
I don't mean to chide you; I understand your concern. However, your comment wasn't right. Every BODY TYPE is beautiful, and we should be careful when commenting EVEN ON celebs' appearances, as we don't know what they go through OR WHO ELSE Reading it will be affected by it.
No one wants to endure such high/unreal standards of beauty—they're often imposed on them. Let's focus on changing this mindset for the better than being unkind to them, even and especially if it is online - as it has a wide reach.
cute so far - Moon Ga Young always makes me smile, such a talented and beautiful actress. Love how her character is headstrong - and I hope this stays! And first time seeing Choi Hyun Wook in a cold-but-awkward within chaebol role is interesting so far. Also - the actors coinciding from True Beauty are just a cherry on top!
I am wondering when she'll get to know that Black Dragon = Director. Anyone who's read the webtoon and seeing the drama, going by the pace, any idea when it will be? Also is it a true adaptation so far?
