The drama will begin airing April 13th, but Kang Jiyoung was at the center of attention at the press conference held on the 3rd as she answered questions about taking�on some more mature scenes in the new series; acting intoxicated by alcohol and performing a 'cheek kiss'.

According to the reports made by Sankei Sports, Nikkan Sports, Sports Hochi and more, the drama's director remarked, "Kang Jiyoung showed a lot of ambition for the drama, even suggesting a cheek kiss that wasn't in the script."

The drama is a joint Korean-Japanese romantic-comedy production, and tells the love story which unfolds between Jiyoung, the daughter of a boarding house owner, and Gun Il, who plays the role of a Japanese international student.
