They have been friends since their modeling days and were already very close at the time of filming, making it a comfortable experience overall. "He helped me be in my best condition," the actress gushed.
Indeed, their closeness behind the cameras reflected well in the drama and made Kim Bok Joo and Jung Joon Hyeong's girlfriend-boyfriend romance convincing enough to generate dating rumors.
After months of speculations from fans, Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk finally announced their relationship on April 24. Interestingly, it was revealed that have been dating for five months prior.
