The Before and After
Newly released stills show how far Yu Bin falls. In one, he is the polished city man with perfect hair and a desk covered in blueprints and office tools. In another, he is unemployed and disheveled, catching short naps. By the end of that journey he sheds his chic persona completely.
The Mystery Behind the Fall
The stills don’t explain why he lost his career so suddenly, and that unanswered question is part of the draw. Viewers will want to find out what went wrong and how he ends up entangled with Karin. The contrast between a city professional and a farmer devoted to one crop sets up plenty of comedy.
