I’m in! To be clear, I wasn’t prepared to like this kdrama because of the main actors, Rowoon and Jo BoAh. RoWoon has starred in many dramas since I first saw him in “Extra-Ordinary You” and none of them clicked with me because of his wooden acting and tired storyline. She Would Never Know: noona […]

Hidden Love: Ep 15 On Confession D-Day
Chapter 15. Confession. Attraction Featured Object: Birthday cake For me, one of the joys of being a woman is I never had to confess my feelings FIRST to a man I was attracted to. Don’t get me wrong.

SolHee had to reassure him that people were just going about their usual business. From Episode 3: SH: You know, people don’t care about other people as […]
