I don’t need to worry about romance…because there is (romance) already😂😂. I love their interacting chemistry, their looking at each other.
yep, more comments about the chemistry between the two leads Han Moo Young and Lee Ro Um (played by Kim Dong Wook and Chun Woo Hee), which quite frankly is some of the best in currently airing Korean dramas.
In other words, if you like a drama with a hint (or more) of romance, Delightfully Deceitful could just be your cup of tea.
