Cast

Lee JongSuk as Kim WooJin
A genius playwright, a scholar that loves English literature. His father is a poor village man.
"If only I didn't know SimDeok, even if I knew her it would have been better to not love her. She deeply understands my literature, she comforts my dark abyss, she cries at my despair with me, she is my only partner in this world. However, she is a mirage that I will never have in reality. She is my ideal and the reality is that I'm only looking at her. When she is crying in front of me, "I love you", "I love you", I can only repeat that. There is nothing except words that I can do for her."
"SimDeok is to me hope and despair."

Shin HyeSun as Yun SimDeok
Korea's first soprano and writer of the song 'Hymn of Death'.
"I never thought of becoming WooJin's wife. I knew that this position was not mine from the start. However, I wanted to talk to him while looking at him and walked with him while holding his warm hands. It did not take me much time to realize my greed. But even if I realized it, it doesn't make love disappear. I ran away from him by painfully reminding myself that I have parents to support and younger siblings to educate. However, when I met WooJin again, I realized this. From the start, that I have never been away from him. I never expected anything from him but he keeps saying sorry because he cannot do something for me. I really don't expect anything."
"If only I am next to WooJin, I have nothing more to hope for."

Here is the first teaser.
It is not the first time the three of them act together! They all appeared in "School 2013" (KBS 2012-2013).
Lee JongSuk decided to be part of the project without guarantee payment.
Koreans like those historical figures as there are already a movie (1991) and a musical about those. According to historical facts, Kim WooJin was a married man with a kid that is why Hang NamPa tried to stop SimDeok from loving him.
Here is the poster of a musical on the same characters to give you one more idea about the vibe of the drama.
