@Sonam 44

Who? Ethan Ruan? LOL. They look alike in some angle.

Anyway, so excited since Chae Rim is soooo low key when she doesn't have a drama. Good thing there's news already. I just hope that she chose well.

I really want to see how they would look like together. :D

huh you're totally right for some reason i can see it happening.
they look like they could make an insanely cutesy couple!

Ahjumma again Chae-Rim? I loved her in Dal Ja's Spring (minus the horrific make-up) though so I'll give this a try :D

I am excited for this one, I will watch it for SIWON! May -December (cougar romances seem to be the IN thing in Kdrama land these days.) I hope it's going to be a fun one!

Can we at least hope for a shower scene? We need to see his body don't you think?

I don't quite consider Chae Rim an ajumma but maybe the stylists will give her that same hair style she sported in Dal Ja's spring. If she's able to bring out the same kind of adorable but not in a cutesy SNSD sort of way that Dal Ja was then I may enjoy this drama. I thought Choi Siwon was enjoyable in Hyang Dang. I'm sure he will have no problem playing the spoiled actor. Hopefully, there will be great chemistry between the two. Might be a show I'll have to keep my eye out for.

Isn't the plot your average Ahjumma meets young guy plot? I don't know, i hope its good.

Oh yah almost forgotten that Siwon acted in 18 Vs. 29, Spring Waltz and Hyang Dan. Got to know about him in 18 vs. 29 first before knowing that he was a member of SUJU. I wanted him to have more parts on that drama because he was just too cute and handsome. Then came Spring Waltz, but his role was sooooo small. Thank god for Hyang Dan where he's the main lead and had really good chemistry with the girl.

Chae Rim is an ok actress for me. Dal Ja's Spring didn't really impress me much since I'm not a fan of the older female and younger male vibe between her and Lee Min Ki. Aahh I guess I couldn't see the chemistry. I've heard that Dal Ja's Spring was like a remake of a Japanese drama called Anego so maybe I kept comparing the two and loved the Anego pairing (Shinohara Ryoko with Akanishi Jin) more.

Hoping that Siwon and Chae Rim does have chemistry along with a well made script.

Hopefully the episode of this drama is not too long....

are they re-starting the "noo-nah" trend? either way, I think this one will be good.

i watched or partly watched nearly all Chae rim's dramas except the last two (the Dal-jal's eyeliner bothered me most I dropped it very early)

but now she's paired with my favourite SuJu.. yessss! MUST!

Another noona and dongseng ?, how many more to come for this year 2010 ?

The quality of acting is going down for 2010?

OMG... Siwon!!!!!!!!! Superrrrrrrrrr Junioooooooooooorrrrrr...
Ok the Suju fan in me is very excited...

Oh, Siwon is so cute in Legend of Hyang dan... I am so happy he is going back into drama...

It seems it will be more Last Scandal than Full House, given the housewife factor... coz Full House was just oodles of cute with Song Hye-kyo...

Can't wait to see this!!!

I'm becoming increasingly alarmed at the number of idols-turned-actors taking on leading roles. I mean, we have Choi Si Won here (he has experience, but still), Changmin, Taecyeon and Yunho not long ago. Are Korean dramas heading in the direction of Taiwanese dramas where the entire cast is comprised of idols? And even if that is the trend at the moment, why are only the male idols getting the love? Why isn't Kwon Yuri, Kim Taeyeon, Koo hara, and err...Ahn So Hee getting cast as leads in dramas? I know UEE from After School has been in a couple of dramas last year but not as lead.

I wonder why the producers keep trying to picture Chae Rim as a lot older woman. She has the cutest face I've seen and definitely looks younger than her real age (not that she's old, she's only a little over 30 anyway). I'm a lot younger than her and don't look remotely as good or as young :(

I think she'll be okay playing younger role (like 25 or 27-ish) because if that what an ajumma looks like, I'll start to really really hate my self :)

Wow... Chae Rim....before divorced always paired with older / way much older actor

now, with someone much younger.....

Lucky her....

I'm really tired of noona-dongseng love story
2 on MBC
and now 1 on SBS
does KBS have one?

Choi Siwon also had a pretty meaty supporting role in Andy Lau's movie, "A Battle of Wits" last 2006. He stopped acting regularly once Super Junior became a permanent group instead of a project group. He was supposed to in 2008's "Pure Comic Strip" with Yoo Ji Tae and Lee Yeon Hee but he declined because of SJ-M activities in China.

Hopefully this means, he returns back to acting full-time since it's such a waste whenever he rejects acting projects for SJ, not that I don't appreciate his loyalty to the group...

I like Chae Rim in Dal Ja's Spring. I'll give this a try. Hope it's good.

Finally, Siwon and a drama. WEI. I got so many dramas on my list this year leh. I think I will finish only by the year 2020.

T.T

why they pair our lovely young actors with older actresess? why not with the same age or even younger? Ha.....i don't get it.....

same here....after further reflection this odd pairing might be another true excitement!! im keeping my hopes high for this one anyways!!!

@Vhladynineer:

At least he stays loyal to suju. On the other hand, mr. kim ki bum...

@skelly:

i kinda think siwon has been quite solid as an actor. all the stuff he has acted in has shown him to have an edge for acting.

I remember him in the ariel lin's MV where his acting was as natural as it can be. the nuance in his eyes when he was smiley and then turned into surprised yet sad look...

LOL. Though I do agree with you in some ways. actors remain as actors, singers as singers. . . but then again, siwon can't really sing though. he acts and models better than his serenading skills. XD

@ 66 kobe:

Those girls are not in dramas because at the moment they are too busy making my ears bleed with their kpop "songs". Once girl bands are out of fashion they'll get their own dramas. Don't worry. :)

How awesome is this pairing? I am super excited! Chae Rim is adorable and Choi Siwon makes me drool. =) Thanks for the news.

it's such a turn off to see a romance between a woman and a much younger man....

I'm honestly not into the older woman relationships (find it a turn off) but i adore Chae Rim and well Siwon....huge bias right there lmao
I don't like idols in dramas but Siwon has had experience and was adorable in past dramas :)

ooo i'm excited for this ^.^

Siwon is one of my fave suju member and Chae Rim charmed me in Dalja's spring. If she is an example of an ajumma then I wouldn't mind being one (I still have several years before that happens though LOL). The plot appeals to me since I've always been attracted to younger guys (creepy noona on the loose). Siwon has always shown some solid acting chops out of the idol-turned-actor bunch. He has the best facial expressions ever! Definitely looking forward to this.

choi siwon! i cant wait!

Oh please.... Not again. Where in the world are the older actors? It's definitely the year of cougars. Even though all of them (KB, LMH, Taec, SiWon) are all younger than me, but if this new trend keeps on going til the end of the year, I think I'm gonna withdrawal for awhile from watching this kind of kdrama. this whole may-december love is already overdosed. and I'm tired of it. I guess I'm still the oppa-dongsaeng/same age love story shipper :p

anyway, I might gonna watch this.. coz Si Won doesn't look like in his early 20s I think. and Chae Rim also doesn't look like an old woman.

@38 amktsy
Haha... but Y.O.U was released last year... XD well...
Nunna love is a trend which started way before. Actually, I haven't seen a lot of drama with a 8year old gap love (guy older). Anyway... Siwon acting hasn't bothered me in 18vs29 but it was just because he was so eye candy that I didn't care about it : all his acting is about eyebrows haha...
Beware.. idols are invading once more dramas and I hope quality won't suffer but still I have to admit that I don't like it and... Taiwanese dramas are just so dumb in some ways ... (Magicians of Love...)

si won please take care of your self..
i hope ur new drama will not make me hurt...hiks,hiks...

I have to wait for very long time until i've heard that a new drama of Chae Rim, the actress i love that is coming soon ? I'm a big fan of her! I like to watch all the drama of her : Its so lovely and humanality! I wish a new year to Chae Rim with a lot of luck and success and ofcouse with happy!

I love Chae Rim in Dal ja Spring and even more so after watching Warriors of the Yang Clan (2004). I've also seen several other of her dramas. Very talented and one of my favorite actresses.

Only seen Si won in one drama (18 vs 19). He's not bad...gotta admit he's good looking.

I don't mind the older woman-younger man relationship or vice versa as long as the drama's unhealthily addictive like My Name is Kim Sam-Soon or Kimi Wa Petto. It's not like this theme is overused compared to the common similar-age pairings.

Oh...oh... it's coming a new drama of Chaerim ! i'm very exciting and i'm waiting to watch her new character. I like all of her dramas , but i would like she will be on the some new more films ?

i want to watch for all of dramas of Chaerim! i don't want to wait for longer, she still looks so young as her 30s, i hope that this new year of Asiatique Chaerim will be lucky and succesful.

Oppa, Fighting. I love u forever. I hope I can meet u.

I love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....................................Si Won Oppa even u don'know me.
So i wish to meet u.I love You uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

im gonna watch it because Chae Rim. i know she can pull it off veryyy well ^^. i think older woman-younger man kinda drama has been addicting me since Dalja spring!! so.. im lookin foward for it ^^

I love Si Won, but I'm not really a fan of a young guy falling in love with an older woman. This makes me sad, because I really wanted to see Si Won act in a new drama.

The fact that she is older makes it seem more sexy, I mean hello Older women want action too, so why is it ok for older men to have all the fun? But I just wish they would be more strong minded sometimes the theme is a helpless girl get smitten by a guy who will make everything ok. Some younger fans think it's not right or it just dont look good that a woman in her 30 should be dating a younger man, because in they're eyes 30's is old...which is not the case!

I'm gonna watch it, for sure. I like chae rim when I first saw her in All about eve, en I love the story too. Then there's her in Dalja's spring, the drama that become my number one favorite kdrama, so I'm not gonna miss this one. I hope this gonna turn out good like the rest before.
Thanks javabeans for the review, somehow it makes me want to watch it even more.

i so love the drama, the actors are great & will make you stick your nose until the very end. i have high regards to these people who give their time, effort & intelligence to make these kind of stories. God bless you & your talents.

Haha, I'm only at Episode 1 where Siwon revealed his shining abs *YUMILICIOUS* and I've not even hopped on to Episode 2 due to hectic schedule. =/
And the same goes for Personal Preference!
But I'm sooo gonna watch this (and Personal Preference), at least to complete Episode 2 (or 3) so from there I can decide which drama is (more) worth watching!
But it's sooo funny (or is the 'now trend'?) that young and aspiring actors are paired up with ajummas (aunties), and they are REEEALLY young, incoming actors who surprisingly snatches (okay, GIVEN) the role as the main instead of the second male lead who inevitably has more experience (but loses in looks).
I guess it's the 'in thing' now anyway, after Boys Over Flowers I reckon that directors understand that half (or more) of the reason why your drama will be a huge hit (aside from the storyline) is to bring in HOT (and young *grins*) actors.
Okay, I'm typing a little too much now so, goodbye I'd go catch these two dramas I've mentioned above and you should too!
**Fangirl mode: Aww, BOF and SuJu... <3**
Alright snap out of it. -_-
BYE!

yeah ! choi siwon very handsome and young man.also chae rim is old.but they harmony together. i think this darm'll be best. ohh too perfect..

I watched this drama because of Chae Rim. I'm one of her fans. I don't care if she is 6 or 7 years older than Si Won in this series, as long as she delivers and carries it well. They had chemistry. I love this this drama so much. I love Chae Rim and Si Won. It is a good thing that they fall in love with each other and ended up together. Great storyline and great ending. I hope to see both of them do another drama series in the future. I love you both guys. Take care and god bless!
