Kim Dal-Ri can speak 7 different languages and she has a good personality, but she is awfully clumsy at doing household chores  in general. Jin Moo-Hak and Kim Dal-Ri happen to meet without knowing about each other’s roots or past, and they develop good feelings for each other.

We are currently working hard so that we can deliver big laughs and make viewers hearts’ flutter.” (Photo and quote source: Soompi)

The second poster parodies a renowned

oil painting “Dance in the Country” by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

 Kim Min Jae as Jin Moo Hak

A parody for René François Ghislain Magritte’s work.

“Jin Mu Hak is wearing a neat suit and fedora and staring ahead as if showing his tenacity for money. In addition, the cigarette pipe from the original work has been humorously replaced by a potato. ” (Poster and quote source: Soompi)

“Despite the fact that now his life is filled with success, Jin Mu Hak clearly remembers what it was like to live in poverty. Because of this, he owns all kinds of precious and expensive items, but he believes that if he spends money, people must notice it and that whatever he buys must be worth the cost. The production team also said, “Kim Min Jae’s character may be snobbish at first glance, but he is someone with various stories and lethal charms. in particular.  (Source: here)

“Being able to make conversations in seven different languages, Kim Dal Li has a certain aura in her actions and speech, she’s a charismatic and considerate character who treats everyone equally. The production team also mentioned a few words: “This is a scene that straightforwardly captures Kim Dal Li, a ‘fool for art’ who only cares about art and a character who has extraordinary skills.” (Source: here)

Kwon Yool as Jang Tae Jin

Transforming into a medieval aristocrat!

“Tae Jin  is a company director who clashes with Jin Mu Hak but is nothing but sweet to Dal Li.”

“What is Dal Li like to Moo Hak?

It’s my first time seeing someone who doesn’t know the ways of the world like this.

What is she, a crow or something? 

Later on, Dal Li says, “It’s not a simple picture but a work of art.”

Mooo Hak, continues, “She’s precisely the perfect type to get scammed.

I don’t really like people who use difficult words,

However, Dal Li is a bit different.”
