Max Mok has four weddings to attend this year…When I meet Kim Sung at a friend’s wedding, I don’t make the first move. God, no. But she’s delightful and gorgeous, and she asks me to dance. Later, we head to her hotel room and…Okay, I admit it doesn’t go well. She might be all about one-night stands, but I’m not used to having them. That should be the end of it.
