Receiving hot reactions from prospective viewers with comments like  "Ji Chang-wook's personal color is Jeju Island, romance," "He smashed his role in the noir action genre, now he smashes my heart with romance," and "The return of the rom-com king."


Ji Chang-wook, a master of acting transformations, is expected to provide viewers with new delights as he transitions from noir to romance.

Ji Chang Wook is my favourite actor I have seen many of his k -dramas I wish I could see this but I can’t as I live in the uk and we don’t get JTBC so I hope it will eventually be on Netflix. he’s really talented at what he does and he’s been doing this for many years now he deserves awards for it.

I'll give this a go, but I don't really like the romcoms he does, they're usually a bit too silly for me.

.

He's very versatile, The Worst of Evil was the best thing he's ever done, and I loved Healer, The K2, and The Sound of Magic. If You Wish Upon Me was thought provoking and watchable, but for me, he's at his best when he's kicking ass rather than trying to be 'funny' or 'sweet'.
