Many Korean actors/actress do drama while having concerts and/or variety shows at the same time.

To build upon to what I said in the previous thread, the problems are twofold: 1) as you pointed out Seung Hee is not an easy character to play (especially as a Protagonist), it's so easy to fall into a mediocre one-dimensional monotony with it, because clearly there are less lines and less freedom for the actor to flesh out this character with, unlike say, Hoon or Soo Hyun, who are very dynamic and demands an array of emotions. The ending will also make you tear out your hair. I agree. TV-14. Since on the day they were leaving for N. Korea, both father and son left home at the same time.
