I must say I watched this drama at that time in 2017 from the start to finish without skipping scenes only for Kim Jae Wook. People might have different opinion and some people love the two main characters On Jung Sun and Lee Hyun Soo, but not for me. Both are quite selfish and their love which they claimed to be strong are not convincing. So when Lee Hyun Soo rejected Park Jung Woo so many times for On Jung Sun, I said “are you crazy?” Even to their high acclaimed “train kiss”, I don’t feel anything. It won’t be that way if their romance can touch my heart because I usually sympathize with the main characters’ love story and support their love.

Meanwhile, the existence of Park Jung Woo is the attractive point for me to watch this drama. You can say that I fall for him. He’s a firm businessman but has his humanity side on his sleeves. On the outside he can say that he has been a cold person which made him manage to go to the top but all I can see is this lonely man longing for love. He shook me to the core. I wanted to love this man. That’s how I felt when I watched this drama.

“Come to me” Let Hyun Soo go. She doesn’t deserves you. It’s what I said.

You usually will side with the one you love. So depending on who you love in this drama, your reaction when watching could be different. Because I love Park Jung Woo, I curse both the main lead a lot for making him suffer. I consider them taking advantage of his kindness even though some might say otherwise. For me who holds a firm line, their actions of accepting his kindness but hurting him is questionable. I would feel embarassed if I were in their shoes. I won’t depend on someone whom I hurt. Or at least if I wouldn’t be able to return his kindness, I won’t even accept it from the start.

Seeing his longing and painful heart hurts me while watching this drama and I feel like jumping inside the tv just to hug him. Would you accept me, Park Jung woo?

Is that an okay?

I’ll come and get you. He’s my bias before Ryan Gold comes. While Ryan has Deokmi, Park Jung Woo is still alone there waiting for his Miss Right.

Even though, he is hurted in the drama, Kim Jae Wook is still cheerful on the filming set. Let’s see some of his behind the scenes in Temperature of Love in this playlist: (I don’t include BTS videos which don’t have him in)

What I like about this drama is that there are a lot of scenes for Park Jung Woo and the writer wrote him as a charming and awesome character. For that, I’m grateful.

See how charming he is through some of the fanmade MVs.
