The plot sounds interesting. Yeo Jin-gu seems too young for some noona romance though, but let's see. And I'm looking forward seeing Yoon Sang-hyun, too! That'll be hillarious if they're going to be rivals. Lol

Please don't let them be love rivals. :(

I was hoping for a mentor-mentee kind of relationship.

Where YSY tries to teach YJG outdated casanova methods but YJG ends up being better at getting the ladies anyways.

(And for some reason I keep thinking YSY's last drama was A Gentleman's Dignity. Mystisith and her nicknamed recaps... Tsk tsk tsk :P)

Awww man the Ahjusshi idol drama's premise looks like a winner to me, especially if OH MAN SEOK is included in the cast.

it WILL be of the romantic kind. ha. k-drama = crazy stuff like that. but i'll join you in hoping it's all figured out by the writers and production and they'll throw a good, fast one our way.

I do feel like this project is better for him: Ahjussi Idol is interesting but too close to his character in SeGa.
Maybe he will be a singer here too, who knows. Lol.
Anyway, I love coming to age stories and mentors of all kinds so I'm in.
Sidenote: Is KSH the new YSH? Early ladies man and all. ;) I'm sure it will be kept cute and low key but I can imagine that the situation will be awkward for the woman cast as his love interest.

I laughed out loud at this: "so it’s not like watching Biscuit Teacher Star Candy and just pretending that Gong Yoo is in high school" Ain't it the truth.

I am also sad that this seems to mean the ajusshi idol drama is not more. I was far more interested in that than in this storyline. I need more men in dramas!!! I am tired of feeling sickly over pre-army boys (I have a new philosophy that everything/one is fair game after the army!).

Eh... Please don't let them be romantic rivals. Uber ick factor, eww. I was hoping father figure, I'm entertaining the idea of brothers since that was mentioned. But I really can't watch this if they're going to be like rivals .-.

That said, I'd originally really wanted to watch this. So *fingers crossed*

What??

Aw man, Kim So Hyun is not the heroine?? That sucks...I was waiting for their cute high school romance story but if this is going into noona-romance territory, then I'm out. Not that I have anything against noona romances, but I just wanted a change for once.

I'm still excited that the kids get to be in the entire series as their own characters (not the childhood counterparts of the main characters), and get to be in the spotlight and all... but now I'm a little disappointed that Kim So Hyun isn't the heroine. I was hoping for some cute high school romance with those two. But I guess I'll still stick around and see how this turns out.

I'm all for unconventional, but I was just so excited about seeing Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun attached to a romance as main characters in a high school setting.

NO A-DOL? I am sad about this! Don't they know comedy gold when it falls down from the sky? Don't theeeey?

Oh well. I feel like bits and pieces of this drama's plot are surfacing, so I'm going to wait and pass judgement when it airs. The cast so far is great, so hopefully the story matches them.

The noona killer part sounds... awful.

Otherwise I could see potential, with the cast, with the coming-of-age story, etc. but romance rivalry between 15 and 39 year old (in real life)...please not (no matter what age you make the lady-to-be-romanced).

Well, if it were comedy and the romance totally (and purposefully) not a serious thing, then maybe.

Still see Oska when I see Yoon Sang Hyun, haha!

/cries because I was really hoping for Kim So-hyun to be our leading lady and be all cute with Yeo Jin-Gu again. :(

Yeah, Yoon Sang-hyun! Is it weird that I like him because he looks kind of like Kimura Takuya? Now if YSH can just play a drama role where he's as mesmerizing as KimuTaku was in the J-dorama "Pride," I'll be so happy! I'm so hoping this is that role.

Say whaa?

so, So Hyun is not going to be heroine?

leave noona to YSH.
YJG is so cute. can't wait~

wait... the ahjussi idol drama is not happening?! WAEEEEEE?!! i was so excited T__T im sad now...
but well, I thought this drama was going to be a high school romance drama... had no idea about the romance with the noona... hope his love is one-sided or something cuz it would be creepy to see actual romantic scenes... I think YSH's character would be a role model for YJG -or so I hope!-

I'm disappointed. I wish KSH was the heroine, even though it's typical. why can't we have a normal slice of life drama in a school setting? why? -shakes fist at sky-

What!!! Noona romance!! And i thought that yeo jin gu has been cast opposite kim so hyun..i really want them to be the otp..
Also..he is too young to have that kind of love line..totally agree with the biscuit teacher star candy reference..

They couldn't possibly make it so that a fifteen year old BOY is a serious rival for a 39 year old MAN. Not in a million years. Not in Korea. That doesn't make a bit of sense, no matter what country you're from. Such a scenario would be a ratings non-starter from the get-go, and I'm sure they do want this drama to pull respectable, if not spectacular numbers. I say we should just wait patiently for more details to trickle in before pressing the panic button.

It is too bad about the "pop-idol has-been" drama. It does sound like a premise pre-wired for laughs. I absolutely loved Yoon Sang Hyun as Oska in SG. Some are of the opinion that he over-acted the part, but I thought he was brilliant. His character was over the top when he was being the egotistical pop idol, and touchingly sweet during his more vulnerable moments. Yoon Sang Hyun needs another vehicle in which to shine. I'm looking forward to this one, and hope not to be disappointed.

They should choose someone born in 1986/87...it's a good compromise imo. She would be "only" 10/11 years older than Yoo Jin Goo and 13/14 years younger than Yoon Sang Hyun...
Anyway, I love Yoon Sang Hyun, though he's 40, I think he doesn't look his age at all...he looks way younger and he's very handsome imo.
Looking forward to it.

Noonakiller? Seriously?? Too icky, even in dramaland.. Noona killer? Why not pairing Kim Hyun Joong and Hwangbo? :)

I loved Scent of a Woman and liked Dr Champ. Yoon Sang Hyun as the father in flashbacks? It will be weird if they like the same girl.....

Anyway, I hope it won't be birth secret once again!

I guess this will be some sort of Big 2.0 (Hong Sisters series). The characterization of the male lead is very similar to the coma boy in Big - a teenage boy who no longer have parents and who fell in love with someone who is much older than him. If only Big capitalizes on the premise that the coma boy is only looking for familial love then his relationship with Lee Min Jung could have been more poignant. It seems that this series is pulling that story line instead.

I hope.

Euu.. noona killer.. sounds more like pervert or if the older noona falls for him.. even worst.. i've already shuddered at the thought of the coma boy from Big in love with LMJ and LMJ seemed older trying to act cute.. aargh.. noooo.. please.. make it Kim Soo Hyun and Yeo Jin Goo all the way please.. re-write it if possible.. i thought this story was to be solely both their story as both are such fine actors they can possibly draw enough viewers... noona killer.. eeuu.. what a put off! :(

I like the idea of him being a rival. It's an interesting premise surely.

Lee Bo Young as the lead
