Sneak Peek

 

Thanks for sharing this with me @Tofu. How do you feel about what you see? I'm honestly not sure if I like what I see, but since I haven't seen Sejong for so long, it's a given that I'll watch this no matter what.

Yang Se Jong is giving me the On Jung Sun (Temp of Love) and Mr. Gong (3017) vibe... 🤔

[Tofu]

@mademoiselle Ahh, romance...I'm happy he's back, but I'm not jumping up and down in anticipation. At least, that's how I feel after seeing the clips.
