@Chocolate kamsahamnida..thank you..xie xie..arigatou..terima kasih..kamsyaaa Now I have no reason to keep 'annoying' people's eyes since the emojis have been cropped nicely @Tofu If Undercover were to face another drama i like more ...i think i wouldnt hesitate to choose the other drama more..but if it's 50 50 then i d choose the one i nominated

@Jane just to let you know it is truly by chance.. I have nothing to do with it @JenL aigoo..poor eyes. Ok ok let's see what i can do for the next round (but no promise made okkkk). I'll try my best to utilise my limited cropping skill ...

@mademoiselle let's call her here and see if she notices the 'thing'. Hey @Chocolate!

If there's one thing i learnt from this round is that...more JangHavenites seem to exhibit a little of 'OCD'- ness... Ehemmm nudge @mademoiselle @im0202 @JenL . and i still refuse to fix the pics HAHAHAHAHHAHA Wah ottoke...the final two dramas might only be voted by the ones who nominate them @abs-oluteM i think this round the hardest for me willl be LUCA vs the silent sea. I'm torn between KRW and gong yoo...and bae doo na. Arrggghhhhh

@ssteph thank you for voting for round 16 :) oh noo.. There are 3 more rounds...but please keep coming back to vote anyhow hahahahahah. So is Vincenzo the only one you're interested? (You nominated for Vincenzo right?)

@SilverMoonTea LOL..maybe see it this way..although you won't watch any of the two.. you could choose which one you like better from other areas eg: you like the actors, you trust the writers, etc. shrugs..but really up to you I just realised I won't be able to vote using the emojis because I posted them

@mademoiselle what is wrong with the hairstyle??? ehhhh...coz it's messy??? Do you want him to look like someone has 50:50 parting or 60:40 parting hahahahaha

@mademoiselle ehhh..since you're ok with it..I'm just gonna leave them be. In a way it's like training you to get used to untidiness a little bit @joccu__ it looks like your preference is the opposite than that of @mademoiselle .. you two only agreed on one thing...not choosing Undercover HAHAHAHHA... no pressure there

@mademoiselle thank you for giving a great first example on how to vote (just in case people are confused on this model of voting). And sorry that I think I might make you feel uncomfortable because the two pics for the emojis are ... not tidy

Will put this on my watch list @abs-oluteM for one reason (well apart from the intriguing storyline) ...because I like both leads LOL! (not too young hhihihihihi)
