Viewers’ Reactions
That desperate cry of Baek Sa Eon for her. He is confessing his care for her, and she goes missing? How? How? My curiosity is skyrocketing!
Why are they giving us a preview of episode 6 if they’re not airing it this week? Why? Did they intentionally want to make us suffer more? But thanks for the previews, they’re so cute.
They look so adorable posing for their little photo together. Watch Sa Eon frame it and leave it in his office once everyone finds out that’s his wife.
[Ep6 preview] Baek Sa Eon always cared, we all knew, but it’s the first time we actually will see fear evident on his face. He’s afraid and scared of losing Hee Joo, a situation where he’s helpless, and every bone in his body wants her.
This is so cute. Tilting their heads together, who would have thought that this cold-hearted man would smile a little at the camera, enjoying their moment? They intentionally started the cheating on his wife (with wifey) rumor.
The story is going to be interesting as more eps comes. He feels so desperate & shouting her name, he’s afraid of losing her. This scene is enough to prove his range as an actor, where he shows emotion through his eyes.
