Notes: This is my first upload, and not my original rip. I've searched for this show on Avistaz, and couldn't find it, so I'm assuming that nobody has uploaded it, or that the torrent no longer exists. If anybody has a problem with this - e.g. they deserve the original credit for ripping or uploading this drama, contact me, so that I can give credit where credit is due. Credit should also be given to my bro, for helping me out with some technical stuff!
