talking about story, cast and my predictions)

Even though there's only 2 episodes that are out, I have so much to say about this drama.
Let's go!

To tell you a bit about the storyline of the drama. The story sets in 1980's in korean town Gwangju. It is the period of Gwangju's Uprising. We have Hwang Hee-Tae, a medical student who entered the best medical university in Seoul, and a 3-year nurse named Kim Myeong-Hee. Kim Myeong-Hee is from a poor family and a friend of Lee Soo-ryeon, daughter of a rich man in Gwangju. Myeong-Hee gets into university in Germany, but in order to get a scholarship she has to leave the country next month. With the lack of money for plane ticket, her and Soo-ryeon set a deal in which Myeong-Hee has to go 3 times on a date with Soo-ryeon's potential future husband, who by chance is Hwang Hee-Tae (son of another rich man in Gwangju), in her place so she can get her friends out of prison for protesting, and in return, she'll get her money for plane ticket. Hee-Tae and Myeong-Hee had encounters before, but not close enough for him to know her name, thinking that she will get dumped by him (by Soo-ryeon's tips on how to get dumped) she goes on the date, but it doesn't go well for her..

I really hope I didn't say much about those 2 episodes, I'll update if there's something more that has importance in the whole storyline. Now let's get onto the cast.

The cast is perfect, I like most of the characters for now. Lee Do-Hyun, portrays Hee-Tae sooo good, it really suits him to play character like him, since he himself gives vibes that he has a similar character as Hee-Tae. Go Min-Si... that woman never fails to impress me, I absolutely love Myeong-Hee, she is just an amazing young woman. Lee Sang-Yi, well, we still don't know his character, Lee Soo-Chan, but he seems like a nice person, and we already can see that he is hiding some feelings towards Myeong-Hee, or is it just me? Keum Sae-Rok and her character Lee Soo-Ryeon, I like her so much and I really hope her friendship with Myeong-Hee stays healthy and that nothing goes in between them. Other supporting roles are as awesome, Hwang Jung-Tae (played by Choi Seung-Hoon) and Kim Myeong-Soo (played by Jo Yi-Hyun), little brothers of our leads, seem to already have some bad tension between them, will that stand in a way of their older siblings' relationship?

Now, predictions...

Oh, I already know that there will be very heartbreaking stuff about this drama. About the end of episode 2.. wow, expected it, but not this soon, I can't wait to see how it all plays out since we already can see that leads have gained some interest in each other and I can't honestly predict how does Hee-Tae feel after finding out that Myeong-Hee lied about her identity, since we already saw that he said he doesn't care what her name is after he saw how she helped a boy in car accident, will he be mad? will he forgive her? I also have a gut that Soo-Ryeon will actually grow a liking towards Hee-Tae while Myeong-Hee is in Germany (connected to my prediction that she'll actually go to Germany). My next prediction is that she will not be accepted by Hee-Tae's family (specifically his father and potentially his brother) because she comes from a poor family. I have some other predictions like her and her father getting on good terms, Soo-Ryeon getting an apology from her friends, if something happens with Hee-Tae and Soo-Ryeon (by force of their parents) that Myeong-Hee will go to Germany and come back after a while, Hee-Tae waiting for her, her choosing to be with Soo-Chan out of jealousy, anger, sadness.. Not quite sure about those last theories, but I guess we'll find out? Hopefully at least one of my predictions comes out as true so I don't look like a complete fool hhh.

That's all for now, I hope this is helpful to at least 1 person and thank you if you read all of this !! Leave a comment of what you think about my review or predictions !!
