Gang Nam Soon spent years learning to speak the language, doing part-time jobs to fund her trip, and basically preparing her whole life to reunite with her parents.

In addition, Nam Soon also wants to find a man who will make her want to protect her.

Interestingly, her ideal Korean guy is none other than Cha Eun Woo.

In one scene, Nam Soon made a collage showcasing different photos of the idol singer and promised herself that she would be able to meet him.
