I love Chae Rim! She's always adorable, even though she do look cuter in her older dramas, but still, I love her all the same. ^^ It's nice to see her in a strong woman role, because I think she looks too sweet that I wouldn't have thought she would do well, but she did. She may not be the best actress out there but just seeing her smile makes my day brighter already. (sorry I'm so biased, lol! XD)
