Throwing it Back w/ Lola
Who remembers Queen In-Hyun’s Man?! This drama was a sleeper hit in 2012! The greatest strength of this drama wasn’t necessarily the story (though I enjoyed this time-travel romance), it was definitely the relationship and chemistry between our leads. Their chemistry was so explosive that Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na started dating in real life after filming!
