even though I like him in You're Beautiful buh I wished they would cast someone else like maybe Lee Hong Ki xP

im so excited with this drama..the shinhwa couple will reunite and this time YH will have a happy ending with shinhye...obviously i am a yab and anjell fan and i love this project..i dont think that YH's acting in YAB is that bad, remember that it was his first drama, let's give him a chance to hone his acting craft more..as for shinhye, being typecasted, i dont think so, it was only in YAB that she played the role of a bubbly, naive girl... its just that YAB was so popular and that role made a tremendous mark on her, so she was always identified with that..her roles before YAB were varied, more on the melodrama genre while post YAB, the Cyrano movie, her role was more matured..in taiwanese drama Hayate, she plays a bratty girl...good luck to the festival project..fighting

I sooooooooooo miss YB and was hoping for a YB movie or season 2 or even an AnJELL concert...
this is close enough...
I just miss seeing PSH on the screen!

PSH is such a great actress, YB was her first role where she played her age, most of her series were all 'older' roles..so i really don't mind seeing her in this kind of role again, why not...she's still very young and can definitely carry her own series...

as for YongHwa, let's give him a break, he's a very competitive guy and i'm sure he'll push himself to do better on his second series, hopefully better than KHJ.

i can't wait to hear who the second leads will be...

i wish we can see Shin Hye dance, she is a very good dancer to boot!!!

can't wait!!!

has it really been confirmed or just rumor. i thought Yong-hwa was going to be busy promoting cn blue album? i wish they could have pick an actor instead of a signer or singer who can actually act. i thought through out yb he had the same face expression..... psh is going to make him look bad standing next to her.....i'm still looking foward toward this drama since psh is in it....

im so happy that finally they will get to work together again..my original favorite YAB couple..im sure that just like me, many yab and anjell fans are waiting for this drama..lets give YH a chance to prove his acting and for my favorite park shin hye, i support his role here as a bubbly and lively girl, she's not typecasted in this role, its been a while since YAB..prior to YAB, her roles were more on the melodramas like TOH and STH while after YAB, she gets to play a mature role in Cyrano movie...as for her taiwanese drama, she is the bratty Nagi, so i think, her roles are varied...i am excited on this drama..shinhwa, fighting

wow!! yes finally!! shinwo and minam together...im a big fan of shinhye since i watch YAB saw her acting skills and funny,sweet side..But when i watch her Tree of Heaven i see different acting skills its amazing every single of her tears made my hearth break!! OH My she is a great actress despite of her age...shes only 16 years old that time.. i recommend for everyone who want to prove her talent!!

INDEED !!park shin hye not only for bubbly,lively character shes versatile spec.in acting that was Proven!

Shin Hye Fighting!!!

im excited and looking forward to it!!
AJA!!!!

Oddly enough, I completely forgot what he looked like in You're Beautiful, lol... so I guess he was pretty forgettable for me. Lee Hong Ki made a much more lasting impression, so I can't say I'm hyped, but I'll probably watch it anyway.

Jung Yong-hwa?........eh. wasn't impressed by his performance in you're beautiful, despite his looks, and I'm not confident that he has enough onscreen presence to lead the show. eh well, he might turn this around and surprise us all...

another yong hwa drama? waaa....can't wait to watch >_<
really really a great news..

n shin hye-ssi is a good actress n also pretty. i think i'm gonna love her

he's not ... really ... a good actor is he. >_>
but maybe the stoic thing will work for him better. i did like him in you're beautiful.

but ooh, gayageum. that'll be interesting. park shinhye is always great. <3

I'll def watch it cuz of Park shin hye...Yay

I loved "You're Beautiful" and I like trendy dramas, so I'm inclined to give this a chance despite the very valid concerns about acting and plot.

However (and I am going to assume the details aren't completely set in stone) - "Lee Shin?" Really? There are a bazillion possible combinations for first names in Korea and they have to name the male lead for this one after the male lead in "Goong?" Dude needs his own identity, yo!

After skimming through the You're Beautiful recap, I kind of really want to rewatch the whole thing...

Anyway, so what if Jung Yong-hwa can't act? He's so pretty! ;)

wow!!!!ANJELLS less two-hehe!anyway i will watch this., I Love PSH and its been so long since YAB and i miss her in KDrama., SO after HAYATE next is FESTIVAL., Fighting!

I like Pyo PD-nim, I like all his dramas, except In Soon is pretty :( So perhaps I will check this one out.

Talking about You're Beautiful duo reteams, I wish it is Lee Hong-ki (ho, ho fangirling), instead of Jung Yong-hwa. I can still watch a drama even the acting is bad as long as the character is interesting and well developed, but every time someone mentions "wooden acting", the ones that appear in my mind are this Jung Yong-hwa in YAB and Jaejoong in Heaven Postman. I don't say Hong-ki acting is much better than these two :) I know he's got his Japanese drama already for this year. But a fangirl can dream :D

Kyaaa! Finally! Will have something to look forward to!

Oh come on, Park Shin Hye, I know you can do better than this. You've been such a trendy star as of late; I think it's time for you to go on for more meatier roles.

I find it so strange that she ever acted in that melodrama Stairways to Heaven, haha. It's a shame that she hasn't dramatically improved in acting or anything, especially since she started off so young.

On a side note, what happened to her Stairways to Heaven co-star? It's a shame he's such a low-profiled actor. He was so handsome!

i will certainly watch this. First when i read the plot , i was happy cause it says that she would play a talented and rich girl. I thought she would be very serious and maybe cold, but now mmm....well she is cute and all that, but for me is the same as with jgs i think they should take serious and dramatic roles, they have the talent to do so. But then, they're just 20 and 23 so let's them be cute. I'm happy she's in a drama again...and i hope this becomes a hit so she can have more and more projects. (btw in Cyrano she was mature and that scene in the restorant was great ...she can act and play a mean girl too)

The plot for me is very attracting i loveeee musical/art dramas, most of the time they've got an awesome ost (Which is important for me in a drama). I hope this has good music, and a good plot..if not i won't watch it...nooope Who am i kiding?? i will watch it anyways...as Shin Hye fan ..and because i like yong hwa, he's cute so i support his works (he is not an actor but he might improved. But for me he's more charismatic and has better acting skills (if any) than khj)

I'm looking forward to this...no negative feelings about it yet ...so for now i´m more than happy ...yay!!!!

Whether they're crappy or not acting-wise, I don't really care actually. Just so excited that Yong-hwa and Shin-hye gets paired up in Festival.

I'll definitely await eagerly for this new drama. xD

Hwang tae kyung:"GoMinam how you dare to Dump me?"

It sounds just so...painfully unoriginal :/
will have to wait & see...

I'd like to see KHJ and JYH "fighting" over PSH, and JGS plus Hongki singing some gibberish song in the background in one drama. That would be funny composition of Wood and Sparkle. When sparkle meets the dry wood, the fire starts so nice^^

really excited and looking forward to this series..i love park shin hye,she's talented and can act well :)

I really like his character from You're Beautiful too, and I loveee Yonghwa from the show "we got married" where he supposedly doesn't really... act, and makes me laugh with the child-like personnality. I can see my anticipation for Festival but I pray with all my heart his acting as gone miles and miles farther than where it was in YB. If not I guess I can't help but be only a fan of his music XD

Off topic:
Park Shin Hye, Yoon Eun Hye, Miss A's Suzy Bae and probably Han Hyo Joo could pass off as sisters. I think they look very much alike in one way or another. It would be fun to see them altogether in a movie.

Yay, I hope this one will be a good one. I like PD Pyo (most of his works anyway). And I really wanted to Shinwoo to be happy in He's Beautiful. I will look forward to this one. I think they will be cute but yes acting must improve (mostly for the guy on this instance).

So this drama basically follows the same route of those typical idol-musical dramas with the addition of the genius-trend that dramabeans had a rant on recently.

But I bet this one will get a slot of recapping on dramabeans regardless of what it turns out to be, because it's a hot idol dramas (cough*MSOAN*cough). Unless they finally decide to pull off an aberdeen_angus/kaedejun recapping and bless us with more serious and less high-profile dramas.

I like YH with CNBlue. As a musician on the stage, but not so much as an actor.

I have apprehensions with him taking the male lead in "festival". He needs a lot of improvement in the acting side.

YH is like a "hairspray". So prim and proper. Like a "perma press" or "pomade" or "strong hold gel". I'm scared it will become another PK.

Lee Hongki should have been a better choice if production company wants someone from ANJell cast. I love LHK - exudes passion in singing and acting. In fact, his vocal is much much better than some idols.

But, I'll give YH the benefit of the doubt. The Director is very good (e.g. he enabled Rain to act) so probably he can do the same to YH.

As for Shin Hye. I like her a lot. Directors love her acting, her discipline and professionalism.
I know she'll help YH, just like in YAB.

picture of Park Shin Hye. that bracelet she's wearing is same one I saw with jang keun suk during their Japan fan meeting.

In another review I heard that PSH's character is a genius in gayageum and Yonghwa's character is a genius guitarist hahahaha

awww poor yonghwa, give him a chance!
<3 cnblue

any wgm fans?
yongseo couple~~

Sound a little like 'Nodame Cantabile' to me. Jiagi aigoo!

I wasn't really that big of a fan of You're Beautiful...I only watched it because I loved watching Hwang Tae Kyung's evolution as a character. Personally, I thought that both Park Shin-hye and Jung Yong-hwa's characters were kind of annoying--Go Mi Nam was too cutesy/really thickheaded and Kang Shin Woo was frustratingly unable to convey his real emotions to Mi Nam and basically spent the whole show in silent and noble angst.

*ducks for cover from flying objects thrown by YB fans*

Of course, I realize that my personal grievances with their characters on YB really don't have anything to do with PSH and JYH's acting, so who knows, maybe I'd really like this upcoming drama! I'll be keeping an eye out to see how it does.

These are some interesting comments. So people are dissing YH's acting because his character in YAB wasn't able to express his feeling well? What a strange reason to dislike his acting since that was the character he was playing.

Anyway the plot sounds pretty bad but I will watch regardless (what can I say Im a YH fanboy). He himself has constantly expressed disappointment about his acting so hopefully he'll improve. Tho seriously can dramas stop with the cold/distant cliche's?

Love Park Shin-hye and Jung Yong-hwa in You are Beautiful. Happy for them having their own drama. And Park Shin Hye should enjoy her younger year and do many dramas like YAB. i started watching korean dramas almost 10 years ago. i was around 12 or somethin. Even now i'd like to watch sweet rom-com better than Temptation of wife kind of dramas. Loved YAB, Still Marry me, Dream High, Coffee Prince. But my first drama love and forever is What Happened in Bali. Jo In Sung and Ha Ji Won.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :((

I love you Park Shin Hye, but come on. JYH can't act. :|

Ugh. I'll still watch though. uggggggh

I take this news with a bittersweet taste. I love love PSH but I can't take the fact that Yonghwa will be leaving Seohyun in WGM because of his busy schedule. I just love their tandem together. It will be so sad to see their last episode.

tsss..

i wish they would just make the YAB season 2.

or another drama for JKS and PSH. they really have a good chemistry.

You're Beautiful stars have had their second chance to be together again.
Soooo, HEY! WHY DIDN'T THEY GET KIM SO EUN and KIM BUM to be on screen together? they even look more cute than this couple. Yonghwa... you sings well but I can't see you as an actor. Shin Woo is enough.

I know this is late but Yonghwa and Eunjung look alike... :S
