    • Quotes

      Kim Shin: [narrating] Mass is not proportional to volume. A girl as small as violet. A girl who moves like a flower petal pulls me with a greater force than earth. Just then, like Newton's apple I rolled toward her without stopping until I fell on her, with a thump. With a thump. My heart was bouncing between the sky and ground.It was my first love.

    The best kdrama i've ever watched
    I've been hooked by kdrama for 14 years and this one hold the top position. I've watched it 3 times already. I think it's because the cinematography, soundtrack, storyline and acting skill of the actors/actress that made this drama different from others. After watching this, your standard for korean drama will be higher than before
