Dramas Over Flowers

Listen Later

It's been almost 2 years, guys. It's definitely time to move on from #KimSeonHo's breakout performance in START-UP. But before we do, here's a look back at why #HanJiPyeong captured our hearts, how much of this effect was intentional on the creators' part, and why his fans walked away bitter after that ending.

(Also maybe why #NamJoohyuk also got a bad deal out of it. 😅)
