Fortunately, he did not give up and showed his genuine intention towards the actress.
As the show continued, he recalled how he gained her trust and that is opening up to Kim Tae Hee-including the issues that involved other girls.

According to Channel Korea, Rain was smitten by Kim Tae Hee's beauty and fell in love at first sight.
In 2012, the couple started dating secretly, but their budding romance was hit by controversy after reports sparked in 2013 that the actor broke military service guidelines after going out with the actress.
Due to this, Rain was punished to seven days of confinement.
After years of dating, Rain and Kim Tae Hee have decided to tie a knot in 2017.
At the time, the ceremony, which lasted around one and a half hours, was only attended by the couple's parents, siblings, and close friends.
Now, the power couple is blessed with two children but reminds hush hush about their private lives.
Rain is currently starring in tvN's medical fantasy Kdrama "Ghost Doctor" while Kim Tae Hee is in talks to make a small screen comeback with the series "Sage of Calligraphy Wang Xi Zhi."
