Calibre is not only regarding ability, but also in, how to say, standing. However, she's not what worries me most in the project. Rather the director and writer. Lee Sang Yeob doesn't have many more years of being male lead material (you know how youth-obsessed Korea is!), and he is finally getting recognized, after many years of only getting secondary roles. Time is running out , so every project must be carefully chosen to be both good and successful. Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised!

I read that, other than two cameos, she's played in a total of SIX dramas since her successful acting debut in 2012. And two movies and a web drama. Compare this to her super-active singing career - there's no comparison.
I love, love Lee Sang Yeob. But who are these two, the director and writer? I've never heard of any of their dramas mentioned. And the actress ... Couldn't they cast him with one of equal caliber?
They are also normal human being with issues...Why is is hard for fat ppl to ciit down on eating? Why is hard…
I beg to differ that drug taking does not affect one's work. How focused and disciplined can you be for shooting when you're taking drugs? How many actors (from Marilyn to Judy Garland to Johnny Depp to Robert Downey Junior....) made studios lose millions because of being late or no-show, forgetting lines, requiring multiple takes for each scene etc? Yes, one might refrain from taking them the day before filming, but sometimes (especially in the case of a drama where you're the main lead, filming goes on daily for a long period of time. When you're not filming, you need to rest well, eat well, exercise to keep in good shape and learn your many lines by heart. How can you give your very best when you're a regular drug user? Performance will dwindle and eventually companies won't hire you anymore, as has happened with the aforementioned Hollywood examples.
"How difficult is it not to take drugs"That depends on many factors that you obviously don't care to consider.…
@monstersnroses: I don't assume his motivations for starting to take drugs; this might be for any reason, I know nothing about it so I'm surely not going into that. I do assume he loves acting (because he's repeatedly said so, and also it shows from his performances), therefore I also assume he doesn't want his career to end ingloriously. Given this, whatever the reason might be to start doing drugs, the only explanation for his continuing to do something that may well cost him his beloved career is that he believes (has convinced himself) that he won't be caught. Just simple logic.
Can't these actors, who very well know what is at stake, be more careful with their lifestyle choices? I mean come on, how difficult is it NOT to take drugs, man? Why ruin your career, when you're one of the very best Korean actors out there, and you have so many projects lined up? Everyone thinks they're smarter than others and won't get caught. Sorry, not sorry.
Wait, is this word for word like the Japanese version? Does it have the same ending? If it does.....I DO NOT WANT…
No it's not the same ending. It's a subdued happy ending, implied, not really shown, but you know that they will end up together. Remember "Faith", where they just meet and look at each other? That sort of thing. Very frustrating, but still better than the Japanese version.
