For a newbie, Woo has done a rather good job. He has showcased his talent and skill in dance perfectly. He has portrayed different emotions and phases like living with his mother for most of his life; the sudden loss of the only family he had; his innocence; his passion for dance and so on. Although I personally feel that Choo Woo can work on his facial expressions.  Lead 2: Hyung Hoon pla

Oh, you would definitely remember that face later but first, you would thank him and leave. Okay, let us have the liberty to fantasize cause we are drama fans. Let's say you thank him, offer him a coffee and leave. But would you go and sleep with him?? Hmm naughty (*smirk). Characters:  The female lead, Risa, comes to Tokyo from the countryside. She is cute, pretty, but shy and super awkward with any stranger (irrespective of their gender). As rightly said by an anonymous, she has a backbone of a jellyfish. To top that, she is so gullible that she falls into traps and gets tricked by men easily. In short, she is a damsel in distress who has to be saved by her man. The cast is new to me but, honestly, it is quite difficult to watch her
