EVERY NIGHT


Every Night
<Every Night> has the unique theme of Korea’s historical treasures, and features the stars Lee Dong-gun and Kim Sun-a. This drama was particularly special as it was Kim Sun-a’s first appearance after her role in the famous drama <My Lovely Sam-soon>, and this was the last appearance for Lee Dong-gun before he enlisted in the army. The main stage for the drama was set at the National Museum of Korea, a location that until now wasn’t open up for filming. <Every Night> features a very different story from the average drama and presents plenty of entertaining scenes.
