In the drama The Red Sleeve,” every word and action of Deok-im (Lee Se-young) made him pay attention, so he couldn’t hide his feelings and burst into laughter or anxieties. In the 7th and 8th episodes, he asked Deok-im why she didn’t receive the tangerines he brought, “It’s just a fruit, so what’s the reason not to receive them? Be happy to receive them.
