Episode 2 of the fictional drama will probably focus on the blossoming romance between the onscreen couple. The promo shows Habaek telling his assistant, "She sneakily pinched my heart as she entered."
The footage also hints at troubled moments for the female lead as it shows her falling down from a bridge and the water god trying to save her. Shortly before the accident, Nam Joo Hyuk's character gives a warning to her. "If you don't expect it, you will suffer everything," he says.
Meanwhile, the Korean drama lovers found the show funny and worth watching, but they feel that it failed to meet their expectations.
