"My Perfect Stranger" Kdrama Quotes That Will Make Your Day

I loved "My Perfect Stranger"! This drama was so well-written that I enjoyed it immensely. Every episode kept me hooked and eager for the next one. The finale was also satisfying.

This series indeed has a unique charm. The atmosphere, suspense, intrigue, and music are all amazing. It's enjoyable even with some flaws in the plot. The actors are all excellent, especially the young talent like Lee Won Joung. Kim Dong Wook and Jin Ki Joo portrayed their characters convincingly. But I think the romance should have more development to make the audience believe in their love.~
