just watch the ending episodes of QSD and you will be smitten... his acting is brilliant.
Ok, so I found this video on youtube:



I don't know what episode of Personal Taste this was, but he was definitely just a background cameo with no lines.
I remember reading when Personal Taste was airing, that him being at the coffee shop was a coincidence. Looking like that? (I must have been running late!)

The press release said he had no idea he was being filmed because he was outside. I think we all know that is not true. The ratings were not very good and he had just come off of QSD; the used him to boost the ratings.

Oh, my! I remember that now...Even back then I was...not a fan. lol
I am not a gushing fan girl for KNG. But I would be for Bidam. He's on my "strange attraction" list and it is all due to his acting as Bidam in QSD. He really is amazing in that role...when he finally appears. I need to buck up and finish that drama. I know, I know...make sure the stones you throw are made of fluffy things.
what episode are u up to in QSD Jeanie? i hv it on hold at ep 26 & i skipped alot to get there hehee
