I honestly love this show.. love the concept and comedy of S1 and the drama of S2.. Your Biggest Fan and Chillin' in the summertime is one of the best song that came out of a disney shows ever!!!!
One thing other than her acting that i like about shin hyunbeen is her feminine grace and gesture.. even when she falls down, i can't help but in awe with her mannerism.. she's really beautiful 😍
Ah SEVENTEEN Dino !
Ah … Dino is really such a great person. He truly has a very good personality. Actually, I feel a bit sorry because of my performance schedule … ah ~ this is a spoiler isn't it ?
Anyway, Dino is really great. When we worked together, he helped me a lot.
He has a really good sense and he's very dedicated and firm when it comes to his work so I found myself thinking … Being an idol isn't easy, right ? You have to go through the trainee period and so many other things.
But seeing him do something he had never done before how should I put it and do it so excellently
I ended up thinking Ah … maybe it's because he has gone through so many processes and hardships to get to where he is now that he can handle things like this so easily and do them so well.
I really hope everyone gets to watch it.
