Park Ji Hoon the highlight of Love Song for Illusion
Love Song for Illusion stars Park Ji Hoon, Hong Ye Ji, Hwang Hee, and Ji Woo.
The Korean drama premiered on January 2nd with a solid rating that quickly dropped episode by episode.
From comments on various online forums (Reddit, Viki, My Drama List etc), it appears the majority of viewers who watched the K-drama to completion, and somewhat enjoyed it, only did so as they were fans of Park Ji Hoon.
Or because they enjoyed the actor’s excellent performance. (Excellent, especially considering the extremely poor script he was handed, and managed to make watchable).
Park Ji Hoon fan or not, you can now watch all 16 episodes of Love Song for Illusion on Viki.
