Heartbeat K-Drama Plot, Cast, Release Date
In the first two episodes, we also see Woo-hyul attempting to eat garlic and continuously pleading with the gods to fulfil his one request in his quest to become a human. He also exposes himself to intense sunlight. Talking about Woo-Hyul’s love interest Joo In-hae, played by actor Won Ji-an, she is portraying a character who is putting up with a generally meaningless work and falling for her corrupt landlord’s deception, only making things worse. Analysing the first two episodes, the series is surely an another full fledged drama with a rollercoaster of emotions.
