Good morning, Erin. Just when you thought I’d stop talking about Heart Signal 4 … Well, actually, you undoubtedly didn’t think I would stop talking about it specifically because I told you that the after show for Heart Signal 4 was a totally separate show called After Signal and that it was getting its own letter. I know you memorize these letters, Erin. This was not a surprise.  Now, while this is absolutely its own series, it is also very much not, acting more like (in video game terms) an expansion pack rather than a full-blown spinoff.

But, yes, we’re doing another Han Ji-min show, because I have to see if it’s her or if it was just Ye-bun (from Behind Your Touch ) that I’d fallen for. It’s an important distinction. This is for science, Erin. Which brings us to One Spring Night , a show that is—appropriately enough, given the introduction to my previous letter—about the importance of ...
