While watching this drama, i can't get enough of Dong Chul and Grace/Young Ran. I so love their on screen chemistry. I don't care if at the start of writing this drama, they thought that the lead actress was Lee Dae hee.... It 's a good thing they did not pursue with the original plot, because as a viewer, I don't feel any chemistry between Song Seung Hun and Lee Dae Hee. Anyways, I love East of Eden so much and the soundtracks are all beautiful. I like No One Else, Can you Hear me and Thirst.
