[Funcurve Review] "Seven First Kisses"

A Dream Come True

"Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get it". This line from a popular song popped in my head when I began watching Lotte Duty Free's web-drama titled "Seven First Kisses". This short drama instantly became a runaway success due to its adorable plot and star-studded cast consisted of drama veterans Lee Joon-gi and Park Hae-jin, Kpop studs EXO's Kai and 2PM's Ok Taecyeon, and Hallyu reps Lee Jong-suk, Ji Chang-wook, and Lee Min-ho. The web series combined the most sought after Korean icons of this generation into a single show with only one female lead Min Soo-jin (Lee Cho-hee). Needless to say, countless women got envious as these swoon-worthy oppas became Soo-jin's love interests one after another in the short eight episodes.

I would be lying if I said I didn't smile along whenever they did as well. Lotte Duty Free surely knows that no woman would be able to resist these charming guys on screen.
