My note
This by no means a small feat. Beating the powerhouse drama with top stars in ratings.....Shinhye has rolled the ball well as a guest star. It will be a tough act for the later guests to follow.
It seems PD Na is going to do his max best to get big names for his program too
Jen......I love the GIF's...
Mahalia .....great to see you ! .....
