I want her to be happy with Baek Hyun Woo!” “Kim Soo Hyun is out of this world good. My heart is literally shattered to pieces.

Both of them are so good at acting. Even the original soundtrack was heartbreakingAF.” “Kim Soo Hyun is the best at crying on camera.” “Good to know I wasn’t the only one who cried with Kim Soo Hyun last night.”
