Regarding this, a rep of the drama told OSEN on January 20, "We did not burn Chinese bills intentionally. �If you watch the drama, Lee Hyun Woo and Hongbin meet with a desperate and dramatic situation. �It was a circumstance in which they had to make a fire, but the only thing they had was the money in their pockets, so they ended up burning that. That's the only thing that could've happened in the story of the drama."� In the drama, Hongbin is the son of a Chinese conglomerate.�
Despite that, the rep concluded, "We are thinking of editing that scene for re-broadcasts and VOD (video on demand)."
What are your thoughts on this issue? �Are C-Netizens overreacting?
