Factoid: This drama was originally supposed to have actor Song Seung Hun play Gun-woo.  However, a draft-dodging scandal involving Song Seung Hun broke out, causing him to  enlist in the military service.  On short notice, Yeon Jung Hoon was selected as Song Seung Hun's replacement to play Gun-woo.  That is why the Photo Album for this drama (which is on sale at YesAsia) contains photos of Song Seung Hun instead of Yeon Jung Hoon.
