No I haven't. I really want to but I can't seem to find english subtitles for it online. =(

Have you seen the old drama "Romance" with Kim Jae Won and Kim Ha Neul? It's the one where KJW played a student in love with his teacher. If I remember correctly, Han Hye Jin was also in that drama. But her role wasn't very likeable.
