Why can't you say that this is my man, that this is the man I love?” in variety shows.{{Cite web|url=http://kajomag.com/5-best-award-winning-dramas-kim-eun-sook-binge-watch/|title=5 best award-winning dramas by Kim Eun Sook to binge watch • KajoMag|date=7 March 2018|access-date=18 August 2018|archive-date=18 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180818115138/http://kajomag.com/5-best-award-winning-dramas-kim-eun-sook-binge-watch/|url-status=live}}
