SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: What happens when two men fall in love with the same woman? Even though the second K-Drama series for 'Love Like A K-Drama' delved into the intriguing plot, it sure did cause some drama when Honoka Kitahara chose Lee Tae Gyun as her second love interest, disappointing Kim Won Shik.

During the production of the short drama, it was revealed that Won Shik was worried by Honoka's on-set chemistry with Tae Gyun.

Honoka seems to be enamored by Tae Gyun in almost every episode. It was difficult for Won Shik to become the frustrated witness as Honoka's crush on Tae Gyun became evident.

Honoka acknowledged that even though she has previously collaborated with Won Shik, she may not be interested in working with him again.

Won Shik found it difficult to be there on the set when Honoka and Tae Gyun exchanged a hot kiss for the K-Drama.

Honoka had already done intimate scenes with Won Shik, with whom she was clearly at ease, but she admits to developing "a thing" for Tae Gyun.

Won Shik says in his confessional that despite having very limited time on set with Honoka, he adored spending every single moment with her but chose to keep his feelings to himself after watching Honoka obsess over Tae Gyun.
