I guess KPOP fans are familiar with this guy. Lee Hong Gi, main singer of F.T. Island and obsessed with nail art. Couldn’t deny the fact that the nail art he did shows how creative person he is. His role based on the novel is Zhu Ba Jie, but is called Jeo Pal Gye or P.K in this drama.

Another veteren actor! All the films and dramas he acted, most of it is a HIT! He acts as Sa Oh Jeong which is Sha Wu Jing based on the novel. By the way, I really need to praise his professionalism!!! He encountered a car accident during 16th January when he is on the way for the shoot but he still managed to finish the shoot despite of the shock and headaches he faced.
