Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye are the lead and stars in the drama... the supporting casts has MinHyuk from CNBlue, Krystal from f(x), Kim Woo Bin, Kang Ha Neul, and many more well know actors. I thinks I remember reading that this drama use the best props, best actors/ actress, best production team and best of everything. To those who haven't seen this drama, I strongly suggest to see it.
In the dram close to the end, Lee Min Ho's character Kim Tam gave Park Shin Hye's character Cha Eun Sang a compassionate kiss, however, Shin Hye wasn't had no clue of that and it became a surprise kiss for her. check it out below:
Make sure to look at her gesture... I guess the PD wanted the reaction :)
Yup and you've guessed it, they won the best couples award :)
