Some Uncontrollably Fond fans may be wondering if Woo Bin’s co-star, Bae Suzy, will be joining him on his fan tour since there are rumors that they’re dating. However, based on the reports, the fan meeting tour looks like it will be focused primarily on Kim Woo Bin and not the show, so it’s unlikely that Bae will make an appearance. Also the two Kdrama actors have consistently denied that they are romantically involved and are publicly in relationships with other people. Kim Woo Bin is currently dating Descendants of the Sun’s Shin Min Ah, while Bae Suzy is in a very high-profile relationship with Boys Over Flowers’ Lee Min Ho.
Also Uncontrollably Fond has not been able to maintain its popularity since its debut in July of this year. As Inquisitr previously reported, the show has crashed and burned in the ratings, which has been particularly disappointing because it was billed as a follow-up to the extremely popular, Descendants Of The Sun .
Fond’s fall in popularity has been blamed on a number of factors, including Bae Suzy’s poor acting skills. But it also faces some tough competition in the form of two hugely popular Korean dramas in its time-slot: Doctors and W–Two Worlds.

Both of these drama series have a lot of things going for them which give them an edge over Uncontrollably Fond. Doctors, which is also known as Doctor Crush , stars Kim Rae Won and Park Shin Hye , who are considered two of the leading Hallyu drama stars right now in terms of acting ability.
W–Two Worlds also has some good actors on its roster and a very interesting plot. The show is set in two worlds–a web-toon and the real world– and follows the love story of Kang Chul (Lee Jong-Suk), who lives in the webtoon “W,” and Oh Yeon-Joo (Han Hyo-Joo), who works as a surgeon in the real world.
As Soompi reports W is currently killing its competition in terms of ratings and Uncontrollably Fond is lagging very far behind. Even, Kim Woo Bin put out a statement on his website recently where he said he was embarrassed about the show’s performance, Bitbag reports.
“As the drama passes the halfway mark, I’m embarrassed,” Kim Woo Bin said about the show he stars in.
But he did add some positive sentiments about his experience filming Uncontrollably Fond.
“I learned a lot of different emotions through the character Shin Joon Young, and it was a valuable time during which I was able to reflect on a lot of things,” he added.
