    Started watching DNA Lover. So far it’s very good. Jung In Sun and Choi Siwon are excellent. The show is a good mix of humor and real drama. In fact, there’s one scene that was one of the most emotional and touching that I’ve ever seen in a Kdrama.

      Oooh, I’m interested to see this emotional scene! DNA Lover is on my watch list as I like both Jung In Sun and Choi Siwon. It looks fun, so I’m glad to hear it’s going good so far 🙂
