Can't wait for jjs's lead debut! I think I will watch this just for him.. Plus I need som light/stable drama right now.. Everything airing at the moment is so heavy...

Where's that cute reformed kid from School?

Yay cant wait! Hope someone subs it though

Yay too for Jo Jeung Seok!!! Perhaps I will watch it somewhere in the future when the drama already finished airing when the weather is nice (cause weekend drama have a lot of episodes to go, CMIIW). Ojagkyo brother still on my next watch list, but it get pushed of by 16-20 episodes drama

Kyaa~~~~ Jo Jung Seok!! Loved him since What's Up!

Man, she looks 16 even with that awful wig. I think she is cute but that has got to be the worst Marilyn Monroe I've ever seen.
This is not the type of show for me but I hope it'll be good for those who will be watching.

Gah I don't go for long dramas, or family dramas, and this storyline doesn't really catch my attention .... But jo jung seok! I luff him! What to do, what to do...

I'm a sucker for weekend family dramas, but had to skip Daughter Sooyoung. I'm no IU fan but she was okay in DH. I'll tune into this after 20eps, just like with You Who Rolled...

Im not hatting or anything but wouldn't Audrey Hepburn a better Hollywood legend to have IU portray in the teaser... it just.. makes more sense with the story and her better ending, in comparison with Marilyn....

I'm torn between wanting to watch Jo Jung-seok and wanting to stick to shorter-length dramas...any word on how many episodes this will be?

I've only watched two dramas over 20 episodes from beginning to end, most likely this won't be any different but IU's adorable and Jo Sung-seok has this weird screen presence, probably from his background in theater, that makes it hard to turn away when he's on screen so if I can find it with English subtitles I might give it a try. Well that and I fell in love with Yoo Inna in Queen In-hyun’s Man.

The short trailer gives me a "SG / Kim Joo-won (Hyun Bin)"-vibe for the character our earnest bot Jo Jung-seok is going to play.
I really would like to see him as a leading man, but *deep sigh* 50 eps .. with IU? I'm not a fan of idol singers acting! (there are exceptions who proved that they actually can act, though).

While IU is a cute girl, there's something about the shape of her eyes that has always bugged me.

You know what I noticed from the stills? The many hairstyles of IU. ;) Oh Hani from PK was the last time I remember seeing that many hairdos from a heroine.

The drama looks like it's light, upbeat, and heartfelt so I'm looking forward to it.

I wish they casted Han Hyo Joo or Park Bo Young instead...

IU is the next Lee Da Hae~ look @ the amount of make up she puts on.

Long drama, Long drama that I watch are :
Dae jang geum
Queen Seundeok
Ojakgyo brother
My Love Madam Butterfly
because the story and the acting is good

Some actors are so lucky to get their big break and get lead roles after a few dramas, and there are those so unfortunate that they're stuck as secondary lead forever. I'm really happy for Jo Sung-seok! I loved him in Architecture 101 and think he's really talented. Good luck to him and this show. I'm not sure how I feel about IU being the main lead yet and hope she's not going to act all cutesy throughout this drama. 50 episodes right? Err.. I think I'll pass unless it's 30, I'll think about it.

Maybe I'll give it a try because there's Yoo In Na in it. I love her sooooo much.

I'm really excited for this show. I love how it's been casted, and I have high hopes for it. I don't understand the idol hating thing. Eunji from Apink, Uee from Afterschool, that CN Blue guy (sorry forgot his name) are all pretty good actors. And when they headlined their own dramas I didn't see a lot negative comments about how they were casting only idols in lead parts. Let's have a bit more faith in the production team.

I was interested in watching this, or maybe I still am... but I didn't realize this drama would be so long... 50 EPs?! O.o

..... My longest one was 28. (LOL GAKSITAL ^^)

I do like Yoo Inna and I'm happy for Jo Sung Seok getting the lead role though!

I hope JSS's character is still likable despite being haughty~

apparently jo jeong seok calls iu (lee soon shin) "100 cents" because on the face of the 100 cent coin (which is like a dime in the US) is the actual general lee soon shin

"a plucky heroine who’s down on her luck, a hero who might be a bit of an ass, an upbeat tone with some laughs and tears"

One distinction I found comparing this and Ojakgyo Brothers is that the male lead in OB was quite the opposite of a "haughty ***hole". Hwang Tae-hee (played by Joo-won) was one of the sweetest male characters I've ever watched and I think he pretty much broke out of that typical stereotype...yunno, the one that says that all male leads basically act like annoying brats and later blossom into wonderful, endearing men lol.

To be honest, I thought Tae-Hee was Joo-won's real breakout role, even though most would say Gaksital was his breakout. If anyone's watched OB, they would understand... :)

Just like Joo-won, I think this will also be Jo Jung-seok's breakout performance as a mainstream TV actor. I believe he has the potential to bring out his character to the utmost. I think musical actors have this certain presence about them that is just astonishing. It's kinda beautiful to see, really. As for IU, i think she will really shine with Jung Seok, just like UEE did with Joo-won. I remember at first, people were pre-conceptually bashing on UEE because they didn't think she could do it. But Ojakgyo ended up bringing out the best in her acting as a whole. So i have faith in IU as well!

You're the Best, Lee Soon-Shin! Hwaiting!!!~~~

really waiting for this one..

50+ eps of Jo Jung Suk working his onscreen magic? Who can complain that that's too long? ;) He's so awesome I could watch him for hours & hours - yay for his first lead role! Woot! :D

I don't mind arrogant heroes. I think I've watched so many dramas that without them something feels missing lol

IU is cute but -sigh- another plucky heroine? I guess it goes with the flow... JJS!! Finally a leading role, I'll watch it for him.

it'll be cool to see IU and Yoo Inna as sisters since they are practically bffs, as far as Win Win goes. I think they both have a nice endearing

it'll be cool to see IU and Yoo Inna as sisters since they are practically bffs, as far as Win Win goes. I think they both have a nice endearing quality to their acting personas. this Ajusshi is in, though it's more my Yoo Inna crush...oh, dramaland...

I'm picking this up after My Daughter Seo Young ends.

Hasn't anyone notice the trend of K drama, they are heading towards 100/120 episodes?

No. No, no, no. I Love JJS but he looks way too old for IU - no matter how they style her.

Just NO.

The story really sounds boring and overdone, but I think the actors can bring out something interesting in cliched characters. I'm a big fan of family dramas and this one will be subbed so I'll have to watch it. I'm still not feeling the IU and JJS thing though. Just nope.

Why did you they have to make IU be blonde. I get that it's for a Marilyn Monroe reference. But NO. She's pretty just the way that she and pray to god she never dyes her hair like other idol. Because she's beautiful just the way that she is

I really want to watch this..
Can't wait for this to aired.. ^^

How stoked am I for this? Jo Jung-seok, my second love...

hi,

will you be doing recaps for the same?
