Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ha Neul are showing off what is being called the '1cm loveline'.

The upcoming 8th episode of SBS's weekend dram 'A Gentleman's Dignity', set to air on the 17th, features a scene in which Jang Dong Gun extends his hand within an inch of Kim Ha Neul's face. This scene captures the tension underlying the relationship between the two, as Jang Dong Gun displays his love for Kim Ha Neul and she in turn does not fully place her faith in his feelings for her.

Aside from the '1cm loveline', Jang Dong Gun heightens the romantic atmosphere by grabbing her wrist, caressing her face and looking at her with passionate eyes. Because of the forceful 'cherry blossom kiss' delivered by Jang Dong Geun in one of last week's episodes, curiosity over whether this tender scene will lead to a second kissing scene is skyrocketing.

The word from the staff on hand at the filming of the scene is that upon the camera rolling, the two actors immediately became immersed in their roles and naturally performed the scene without having been given specific instructions regarding their gestures and gazes, earning praise from the crew.

According to the drama's production company, "Jang Dong Gun decides to take a more active approach to show his love for Kim Ha Neul, who has refused to accept it so far. Be excited as their loveline develops and becomes even more intriguing."

The 7th episode will air on the 16th, followed the next day by the episode that will feature the '1cm loveline'.
