Cracking his ribs sounds severe to me and he still continues filming while taking painkillers? That's something to look up to but at the same time, it's kinda sad :(
I really hate how most kdramas air while still in filming, that's a lot of pressure and sometimes they have to compromise the quality to make the deadline. But that's also something unique to kdramas as it can change depending on the reaction of the audience.
Anyway, Mr. Nam Gil, please get well soon!
