'Uncontrollably Fond' is a South Korean television series starring Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy.

Many were upset when KBS 2TV's "Uncontrollably Fond," starring Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy, did not meet their expectations. Recently, the 27-year-old actor took to his fan café to express concern at possibly having disappointed fans.

On Aug. 1, Monday, Kim posted a message on his fan café site using the name of his "Uncontrollably Fond's" character, Shin Joon Young, Korea's News Nate reported. The Hallyu star stated that he is worried that he might not have met his fans' expectations considering that everyone waited a long time for the drama.

"I apologize for coming to you so late," the post reads, as cited by Soompi. "In this precious time, when everyone is seeing me as Shin Joon Young, I wanted to leave a message under the title 'This is Shin Joon Young,' but leaving one now, as the drama passes the halfway mark, I'm embarrassed."

The 20-episode pre-produced drama premiered on July 6 with a nationwide TV rating of 12.5 percent. However, the show is not faring well with the viewers. Many claimed that the drama is stacked with clichés and even blamed Suzy's poor acting behind the show's low rating.

"I learned a lot of different emotions through the character Shin Joon Young," Kim added. "I wanted to gift everyone with those precious emotions and thoughts that I had, and with warmth. I hope that when you are watching the final episode, you will have felt at least a little of what I intended."

With a heavy heart, Kim then expressed gratitude to all his fans for their unconditional love and support despite his shortcomings. He also urged everyone not to be oppressed by the substantial warmth.

In other news, the on-going "Uncontrollably Fond" will hold its first fan meeting in Beijing, China, on Aug. 6. The upcoming event will be attended by the drama's lead stars, Kim and Suzy, who are expected to perform various games and activities to amuse thousands of fans.

It was reported previously that thousands of Chinese fans have been requesting for a fan meeting event with the show's lead actors ever since the drama premiered. The eagerly anticipated event marks Suzy's first fan meet in China as a solo actress.
