Finally finished my second! Korean serie! Maybe i did a long time to watch it but i can say its a good serie! Maybe a little bit complicated! The love story between the 3 main charachters and the gurls around them. A good complicated, touching, romantic drama!

I thought the main charachters are unknown for me! But now checking their film list! Its being quite familiar! Main charachter Lee Seung Jae was in Publim Enemy and in The Netherlands shooted movie Daisy! Maybe i saw him with Jeon Ji-Hyun :D HAHA. Uhm Tae Woong was in Public Enemy 2 and i want to see movie Forever the Moment [2007]. Female leader Kim Min Jung was in the superproject KAIST [2000] and Kim Bin Woo only have two series on her list! This one and I REALLY WANT TO SEE SERIE PHOENIX [2004]!
All stars did a great job! Kim Min Jung is so cool! I like her style! Uhm Tae Woong's charachter is so sweet to Kim Min Jung! He really do everything for her! Also like Lee Seung Jae's charachter! Hee Ran is really a lucky woman! Kim Bin Woo is maybe the second female leader! But you really often see her outside an another scene beside her own Coffee Shop & San Ho's home! Its all about the other 3 and the mother! But i really love Eun Soo's Coffee shop! I want one like that!! ^^
The brothership between the 2 main charachter is also very touching + the mother ^^
