I'm seriously over the moon after hearing the news! 😃

This drama is gonna be a huge eye-candy treat for the ladies - It's Jaejoong and Ji Sung we're talking about here! ☺️
I've always adored Ji Sung ever since I saw him Save The Last Dance For Me (2004) & New Heart (2008) and I'm so glad he's doing a romcom compared to all the melodrama, action and historical dramas he has done lately... it's refreshing for a change just like Cha Seung Won in The Greatest Love 😃
I've never seen any of Choi Kang Hee's dramas but I'm aware of her and she's a real talented actress 😳
And I remember Wang Ji Hye from Personal Taste as the the backstabbing b*tch love rival of Son Ye Jin... How I really despised her character but she's a good actress nonetheless 😉
And now coming towards Jaejoong, when he first appeared in Heaven's Postman, I was really worried how he would do since I honestly thought, he was rather stiff in the DBSK Banjun dramas he did in the past... but he actually suprised me in that movie, he had improved so much then and especially for it being his debut movie
Same goes for in Sunao Ni Narenakute - his portrayal as the salesman who is awkward and hopelessly in love was so connvincingly natural... I'm not even suprised he won for the best supporting role - it was undoubtedly truely deserved 😃
And now I'm highly anticipating him in this upcoming drama - his character sounds really promising and what's a coincidence is that he is nicknamed "Prince" by his japanese friend 😳 This title is tailor-made for him 😃
