  • Ah, so he is the male counterpart of Lee Da-in. Korea is truly a dreamland for fraud criminals 
  • Han Ji-min can do so much better than a son of a criminal
  • He acted like he was poor but he actually comes from a rich family who earn their wealth from fraud. Han Ji-min shouldn’t stoop to this level
  • Everyone saying Han Ji-min can do better… Dating such a man alone may mean she’s just as bad
  • Han Ji-min’s image is going to be seriously ruined due to this
