"Crash Course in Romance" has to be one of the most popular K-dramas right now. The show is about a math tutor named Choi Chi Yeol, who is played by Jung Kyung Ho. He meets Nam Haeng Seon, who owns a shop (played by Jeon Do Yeon).

One heartbreaking scene in particular has gone viral because it shows how little people in Korea know about autism.

Along with some of the main characters, Nam Jae Woo, who was played by Oh Eui Sik and is the brother of Nam Haeng Seon, made an impression.

Nam Jae Woo has Asperger syndrome, which makes it hard for him to do things like talk to other people.

Nam Jae Woo has been talked about a lot on the show, and a recent episode had one of the most moving scenes.

Nam Jae Woo has always talked about how he always gets a waffle from his favorite cafe first thing in the morning.

In the most recent episode, when Nam Jae Woo gets to the cafe and gets his order, he sees that the barista is holding a piece of chocolate.

While he is trying to clean it, she hits him back because she thinks he is trying to hurt her.

Then, her boyfriend, who is also a barista, comes in and gets mad at Nam Jae Woo, saying that he is a stalker because he comes into the shop every day.

When the male barista tries to fight with Nam Jae Woo, he fights back by pushing the man to the ground, which causes the man to file criminal charges against Nam Jae Woo.

When Nam Jae Woo's sister comes to get him from prison, he feels overwhelmed by the situation. She tries to calm him down before getting the baristas to drop the charges.

After the clips were shared, netizens couldn't stop sharing their reactions to the heartbreaking scene, which shows how little people understand.

Others said that it showed what can happen when people don't understand, since it wasn't strange that the barista was scared.

In particular, netizens liked how the family reacted and how they were shown in the episode.

When they got home, Nam Jae Woo's family was calm, which showed how much they cared, as did the way they told him what happened and tried to make him feel better.

Even though the two main characters are the focus of the show, it also talks about a lot of other things, like suicide and the pressures of Korean society.

It's not surprising that it's become so popular, both in Korea and around the world.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
