Someone please give me a sleeping pill that would wake me up next June.....................

GAAAAHHHHHHH can't wait.

Love the idea of GY but Suzy?? seriously?

BIG - 1988 (josh)

I like Suzy and all...but really?

I love Suzy despite the fact that she is still very inexperienced but how else is she gonna improve if not with more acting roles. I think it will be difficult acting opposite Gong Yoo but hopefully she will gain some experience from him. Also cannot wait for Gong Yoo's glorious return to dramaland, I heard that he was great in The Crucible and so I hope that his newly honed acting skills will be evident in this role as well. And with the ever so charming Lee Min Jung as well, Big is gonna be a very good drama.

omg when i first saw the pic i thought it was YEH
LOL i loved coffee prince too much ><
GONG YOO? IN A DRAMA?

But...18-yo to 30-yo just isn't as FUNNY as 12 to 30. Okay, if it's the Hong sisters, it will be funny, but teenagers are angsty and annoying, not cute and cuddly.
It feels like the sisters really like remaking movies/TV shows/legends. They did Overboard so well, I'm just going to trust them. Besides Big wasn't really my favorite 80s flick, anyways.

It's really been a while since Gong Yoo was in a tv drama. I super loved him in Biscuit Teacher Candy Star. He was 24 playing a 19 year old Hi-schooler. He was super cute n lovable in it. Can't wait to see him in another comedy! Pls let it be him to sign on!

Gong Yoo..Gong Yoo..“I don't care if you are a guy or an alien” can I kiss you now..

Somehow Suzy reminds me of Yoon Eun Hye back then... Anyone feel the same?

As much as I love Suzy, I hope the main heroine would STILL be Lee Min Jung! I loved, loved her in "Smile, you" and I'm fervently praying to see her back in dramas, after Midas (which I didn't watch).

Interesting. I wonder if they have to credit the original writers of the concept - if they're remaking an American movie - or compensate them financially, or do they just change the story enough so they can't be sued? I know when U.S. studios remake foreign films with local casts, they acquire the remake rights first.

Suzy has apparently gotten really good reviews for her part in the movie "Introduction to Architecture", and has reportedly been swamped with movie and drama role love calls, so I don't find this surprising actually, nor that it's KBS, where she got her start with Dream High.

While she's not the best actress, I think she shows definite potential, and I look forward to any future acting she does. I think being surrounded by Lee Minjung and Gong Yoo will actually be very beneficial to her acting skills, much like I feel Kim Soohyun really started to help up her acting in the later episodes of Dream High. I think she would be an absolute fool to turn this one down if both Gong Yoo and Lee Minjung do confirm for the drama.

Gong Yoo? From Coffee Prince? And Suzy? From Dream High? Hmmmm....I liked them both in the dramas that I've seen them in but together...I hope they turn like waffles and fried chicken....so wrong that they just fit!:)

This sounds like such a fun drama!

It's interesting to think of Suzy as likable as an actress even though we clearly see the lack of acting ability, and i do agree that it makes me want to know that she is actually improving :)
I remember watching Big and no offense, the age gap was really too weird for my tastes to really get into the movie BUT considering my love for hong sisters... gong yoo AND lee min jung, i don't think i can say no to this drama :)!

Whoooo!!! I really LOOOVE my favorite Hong Sisters ~ I am reallly fan of Hong Sisters, of course. ^__^

Oooo.....Wow, this actor Gong Yoo AND Suzy..?? It's QUITE interesting for their GAP age difference ~ Also, I really like Suzy from Dream High & she was doing so good job. ;) I didn't expect to know this bizarre news about Suzy and Gong Yoo - how surprises, yups! Well, honestly, I think it doesn't matter with their age difference between actors ~ I am loooooking forward to this because of Suzy and Gong Yoo, hmm! BANZAI ! ! !

I love Suzy. LOVE HER. But for this role? Um. I think I'll be happier with another actress.

Kim So Eun, maybe? She's considerably younger than Goong Yoo but not too young as to induce cringes.

wait, someone explain? Im confused! So lee min jung play as a 18 year old and what does suzy play? So which one is the main?

I definitely let out an audible sigh of relief when I read through the post. The soompi article had led me to believe she was in talks for the LEAD role. It's not that I don't like her, but ugh. Anyway, I feel a lot better now that I know she it's the OTHER lead.

I wish Gong Yoo and Lee Min-jung would hurry up and confirm this!

Is this 'BIG' from the Happy Hong sisters or the Sad Hong sisters? (It's the only way I can differentiate between the two pairs).

I can see Suzy in this - after all, she IS the correct age/appearance for a part like this. What bothers me is the fact that Goong Yoo will be playing himself in both time periods. The Tom Hank's "Big" was smart enough not to do that - the same with "13 Going on 30" (Jennifer Garner's time leap movie) - the age gap was wider for each movie and made the character transition from young to adult all the more startling.
I'm wondering how troweling make-up on Goong Yoo to make him look 18 will detract from the 'magic' aspect of onset ageing. I know it's been done more than a few times in Kdrama, and each time I see it, it's kind of a "Whuu??" moment. It's okay when it's just a short peripheral to the main story, but this sounds like major screentime for both time periods in this takeoff of 'Big'. ('Love Rain' is doing the same thing with JGS.)
:)

Suzy and GY? Not really looking forward to this pairing. I love both of them but not together.

If somehow the Hong Sisters could get Kim Soo Hyun for this and Suzy as the heroine, then count me in *wishful thinking*

gahhh. Suzy?? I dont like the idea..I wish she will not be catsed in this drama!!A very big NOOO!!!

Is there going to be a creepy Indian fortune telling machine involved? I'd love to see the Hong sisters' twist on that.

I'm a Gong Yoo fan, so this drama is great news! I didn't watch Dream High, so I don't know anything about Suzy. But from what people say, she's got potential, so I'm in! Excited!!

(I recently met a person who claims not to like a single Tom Hanks movie. I didn't want to be friends with her either.)

Did any of you guys actually watch Dream High? Her character was super crappy to begin with! I've seen her in her new movie, she's so gorgeous and she her acting is fine.

People and the media who have seen her new movie have been giving positive reviews.

I would love Suzy to be in another drama, as the 2nd lead of course.

Definitely going to read War and Peace this summer...see you in September.

So right !! My knees go all wobbly wn I think of gong yoo !! Bt suzy n gong yoo ?? WEIRD PAIR !!

I really like her a lot in Dream High. I was afraid to see an awful leading but she was not that bad and even managed to pass emotions. So if she's on board for that one it's cool. I'm most excited by Gong Yoo and Lee Min-Jung ^^ so please confirme asap!!

I'm fine with her as the second lead. If it's the Hong sisters she should grab the chance immediately. And I like the casting decisions in all their dramas so far, I suppose they are the ones doing the choosing.

I think he is too old for him ;O; I live him and I adore her, but she is so young :(

OMG Please NOT Suzy! She is so wrong for the role. There are better choices out there. At any rate, this show comes after Love Rain, which is still a long time to wait. I hope the final casting is great!

OMG I SWEAR, SHE'S THE LUCKIEST GIRL ON EARTH! Considering all her achievements and who she has worked with so far.

I really do like Suzy. I hope she does a good job. If anything, she'll learn a lot from Gong Yoo.

Yay they are remaking BIG. I cannot wait to watch this drama it is going to be good. The age difference is not that severe that it needs to be that big a deal .I am sure Suzy will and can do a better job in her acting. I know I will be shipping so hard till Gong Yoo is back with Lee Min Jung after he establishes his relationship with Suzy as her younger self. Wow this is turning out to be the best drama season. I am so excited even with my busy summer coming up.

Wait, I'm confused. Suzy is not the lead heroine? +_+"

Have they decided on who is the lead then?

Wouldn't it be weird then for an 18 year old in a 30 somethin' year old to date a 25+ or so year old? +_+"

It's like practically a young boy with an older girl but not exactly since the physical parts is different...

XD

Im assuming Suzy is going to play the teenage girlfriend of Gong Yoo's 18 year old character. If this ends up like the movie that is based on.. Then Gong Yoo's character would differently end up being a teenager again and probably end up with Suzy.

Her eyes are as vacant as UEE's. But unlike UEE, this girl is more than a pretty face. Here's to hoping that all the acting experience helps her become a better performer.

Suzy is a cute girl and has a certain charm - so I think she will be fine in a role as an 18 yr old girl.

OMGOSSHH! was going to SCREAM! if suzy is second lead, i'm okay. if she were lead, i would throw a fit.
