Feel like too much for him to handle

Whaattt.. he's the main male lead?

What's with KBS, recruiting idol one after another to lead their drama. First KHJ and now, Yong-hwa.

Welcome to K-drama land. Life is good if you're an idol.

I don't know what to say... well, Good luck Yong-hwa!

I seriously don't think he's ready or capable for a lead role but if that's how it is then guess it was bound to happen since there have been rumors about him in dramas all over the place. Somebody is seriously pushing him, I hope they've prepared him this time around.

cnblue has two different tours and another album coming out, he is going to be overworked. >.<

but if this is what you want to do yong i will support it! this drama sounds fun. just please stay healthy.

I know he needs a lot of improvement in his acting...but I like him...hopefully the drama will be good!!

I find it depressing that he's being offered the lead role. I'm not going to say he shouldn't act – I think it's alright to want to try out things and improve – but, given his past performances, he shouldn't be the lead or even second lead in dramas.

I don't understand it, and I'm sad for no-name actors that have better skills but lose out because roles get snatched away by idols that have no or little acting talent but a large fanbase that doesn't care about quality in drama or film.

*sigh*

You know I love this Hong sisters better than the other one, but Yong Hwa?
He's no good for dramaland, atleast for his short cameo in AGD, he didn't improve at all.

I heard that Yoon Eun Hye will be pairing with him for next drama, so this is the drama?

Oh, God, NO!

Oh my...I love this pair of hong sisters...their dramas are great!

They are considering Yoon Eun-Hye as female lead.

I feel as though its "idol turned actors" like HIM that give a bad name to the rest. Acting is definitely not his forte, I'm sure he knows.

Take this one Yong !

The plot sounds intriguing. I'm not a fan of idol actors but I don't hate them either. I guess they're appealing to pds because they can sell their dramas for a higher price to overseas markets due to the high popularity of kpop

I hope they could give that guy who played as Jin Rak's best buddy in FBND a chance to shine. I think that guy can act better than Yong-hwa.

I've no problem w the look of guys wearing earrings, even 3, 4, 5, 6, of them, as long as they r not matching, but wearing A Pair somehow doesn't do anything for me.

I'm suddenly picturing shows like "Dating Rules for my Future Self" and "Being Erica"...with the plot being similar to the latter. Time travelling dramas is tricky because just as Javabeans said it is in the execution.

his earrings are pretty

Writers are good. Director is good. Which leaves the actual cast of the drama which I think may end up bringing the drama down unless the rest of the cast (especially the lead actress) is strong in acting.

people are hating for no reason! he is a good actor! yonghwa's dramas have all been popular and he even recently got hallyu star awayrd. i love cnblue and love yonghwa and he will show you he is better than all of them so pointless haters can suck it. support no matter what! fighting!!!!

The premise sounds interesting, but It really reminds me of Nine with the broadcast setting, time-slip, and meeting with younger-self. I have a feeling that people will compare this drama with Nine.
I'd like to see Yonghwa in a drama again, but I admit that's my bias-self speaking. Hopefully this time he will do well and prove his worth as an actor to everybody.

my support words for you: just please stay healthy and handsome

but what drama will follow Sword and flower on wed-thursdays?

Please give him a chance..He only has two teen dramas under his belt and his character is both playing cool guys so what can you expect???The boy works hard so I think we will see an improvement...

I'm conflicted about this.

I love Yong Hwa to pieces... But I also know he is not a strong actor (yet?), plus he has a lot of stuff coming up with the band. So yeah, I don't know if this is a good idea. Maybe a supporting role or something, but a lead role? Too much responsibility and acting wise, he is not the best option out there. I would love to see him back on the screen, but I more inclined to watch him on let's say... Running Man? As an addition to the cast? Someday? (I love his variety-self. A girl can dream.)

I think its a great chance to diversify and expand himself. People complain he plays the same character but the minute he gets a different kind of role, they say he can't do it? People amaze me sometimes.

All the best yonghwa, don't let down your fangirls support. I know that i not one of them.

When i read this post: NOOO..
That's me, being my overly dramatic self.
That's only because i told myself that i would watch ANY works after my favorite hong sisters did K2H just because i love them so much. Not sure if working alone would be a good idea, considering it was the teamwork that created the beautiful world of K2H.
Anywho, suddenly I am sad that jung yong hwa didn't take up his role in heirs because i think he fits better there than he does here. This is where i'm going back to the NOOO. I wish the best for these sisters in having a great director, great cast, just good things all around but this casting news kind of deflates my excitement.
I don't know. The guy simply just does not float my boat, and is one of the reasons why i dropped heartstrings. Oddly enough, i wasn't as bothered with him in You're beautiful, probably because he played 2nd lead(where he should still be).
The only way i could still stick around is if they cast an actress that is solid and likeable.

I'm a little it surprised but I really hope that his acting has improved. I think a role like this could make him or break him. In all fairness, his earlier roles were similar and based on cuteness, this one seems to be a little bit more challenging.
please do well , please do well

Gotta agree that whether this involves time travel or not doesn't really matter. i loved Nine all the same even with the time travel factor. Personally am neutral on Yonghwa but I would say give him a chance? I was pleasantly surprised by Seul Ong's acting in the recently concluded Mandate of Heaven. Maybe one just needs a better part, a better director to guide him and more experience in acting. Practise makes perfect? =)

he should do a comedy instead of heavy drama

I like him even if he is still blocky when it comes to acting. I wonder if he's improved?

I cant say I'm surprise. This is the future of dramaland. Idol actors with very limited to no acting skills headlining dramas while promising actors play second fiddle.

I have a particular fondness for Yong-Hwa so I'm glad to see he turned down Heir's. I think his acting will improve, and so much of this type of show rests on the directors ability to get the most out his/her actors I think it's hard to say how it will turn out at this point. He has a wonderful stage presence, but is much more low key in interviews so I'm thinking there is some basic ability there. I hope he doesn't wear himself out with the music and concert schedule as well as the drama schedule. I'd hate to see him burn out

I love Yonghwa like crazy and as a musician there's no denying his great talent, which is one of the main reasons I like him so much, and he has a great personality, but I agree his level of talent in acting is far from how it is in music. I will still watch the drama because I'm a huge fan, and unlike how some people describe his acting, I don't cringe or anything watching it. I feel they exaggerate a bit, or maybe watching other super talented actors has raised their standards, but it would've been a good idea for Yonghwa to take the second lead or something other than the main and gradually get bigger and bigger roles if he shows potential or improvement.
Aside from that, he's also really busy with music, having two tours (one of them which is a world tour) and an upcoming album with CNBLUE, so I hope he's able to manage all of it and it isn't too hard on his health.
Good luck :)

There's a whole heap of people that have proven themselves worthy for a long time and they are still getting side roles, but someone like him with only two real performances, one underwhelming and the other atrocious, are simply handed lead roles in big projects like it's nothing. The distaste is not just because he's an idol, but because he's painful to watch. If it is true about Yoon Eun Hye dropping this, I say good riddance. She would have been pulling all the weight and babysitting this guy. It appears he's doing well as a musician so why not just stick to that or at least start from the ground up like everyone else if he's serious. Trying to jump in at a level he has no place in is just going to embarrass him again. Male Suzy/Yoona.

I 'm a CN blue fan , and i adore Yong hwa ! Freaking love him ! I could fangirl about him for days ! Brilliant singer and really worthy band leader !

But seriously even if he's a leader , he souldn't take lead role for things he can't handle ! Acting is just above him !
I said it for Heirs , he needs a side role with great actors who would assist him , and from whom he'll learn..

But if he takes it , i'll be watching and i'll support him , i'm a fan :3 i'll be crossing fingers that he'll manage and do a decent job !

Dragon flower fighting !

can they just cast a real actor who can actually act to play the lead role, not an idol-actor who is not so good in acting.. meh.. -_-

Haha! Future Choice sounds a lot like "dating rules from my future self" which was very cute. I'll definitely give this pilot a try !

I'm loving the fact that this role is an adult one and a major step away from the typical eye candy dramas that are primed and ready for the new Hallyu wave. TBH though, Yonghwa should really pass on taking a lead role if his skills haven't improved. It just makes more sense for him to get more experience working as a part of an ensemble than taking the risk of carrying a drama as lead. If FNC is pushing him toward lead roles just because of the popularity of his last two dramas overseas and OSTs, I think it's a big mistake (really don't want a repeat of 'Love Rain' and TTBY). Yonghwa got the role in 'You're Beautiful' with no acting experience and went straight to a lead role from there. FNC should have built up Yonghwa's skills to establish himself as an actor with a Korean audience first. I think FNC has been taking the right path building the skills of Minhyuk, Jonghyun, and Jungshin by having them take smaller roles with solid senior actors they can learn from. I wish they'd do the same with Yonghwa. Was really hoping he get a fun part on one of those 50+ ep KBS weekend dramas. A lead role will do more for KBS (with overseas sales) and FNC (OSTs) than it honestly would for Yonghwa the would be actor. Truly hoping (if he does take this role), that Yonghwa has built up his acting skills and astonishes everyone with his improvement.

I'm kinda wary of Yong Hwa trying to take another lead role. I love CN Blue to pieces, but they themselves admitted that he was the weakest actor. Unless he's been taking acting classes and has vastly improved, my expectations will be low.

I'll still tune in to see how this drama is. I can usually ignore bad acting usually unless it's over-acting; then it starts getting on my nerves. I think the premise would be interesting if executed properly. I'll leave my judgment until after the first few episodes. :)

Not related to this drama but....
Wow, I didn't know that he was considered to join 'heir' but I'm glad he/his management dropped 'heir' because with Kim Woo Bin, daddy gumiho Choi Jun Hyuk & Kang Haneul, his shortcomings would only become too obvious (imho of course!).
