There are people inside BF and outsiders who begin to have doubts about the path taken by BF CEO Yun Ja-yu (Han Hyo-joo). Yun Ja-yu founded BF with On San (Lee Moo-saeng), who has a Ph.D. in physiology. Meanwhile, after graduation from the Naval Academy, Woo Chae-woon (Ju Ji-hoon) served in the army, but he now works as a bodyguard. (Synopsis: AsianWiki)
Started watching this ongoing series because of the interesting story premise and appealing lead actors. I like both Ju Ji-hoon and Han Hyo-joo and think they make a believable couple. With just 2 episodes being aired, I need to be patient again. But I sincerely hope that there will be a romance between the two leads because they have great chemistry. I've seen both episodes and like it so far. They really whet one's appetite for more. Han Hyo-joo's character seems quite subdued and I wonder how future developments concerning her company will affect her. I hope Ju Ji-hoon as her bodyguard proves to be someone she can trust and lean on. Still, we don't know how trustworthy she is herself, whether her character is a good or bad one (I think a good one). Excited to see new episodes this coming week.
