K-dramaland needs more kim go euns!

Aside from that, love this man. The set up? Not so much.

I don't get the name!

Could effectively be icky.
At the same time, I can't help thinking that it's a case of double standards: In dramas and movies, we accept boys having noona love easily (and god knows they can be persistent and "aggressive" in their courtship). If it's the girl who chases her teacher (reluctant or unrequited love maybe?), I say we could have something close to what we had in What's up?
Suddenly, I become worried for the outcome...

Strawberry milk, seriously??? Was Mango Milkshake already taken?

I don't know...might have to pass on this one.

The shooting for this movie already started

Wait, no Lee Da Hae?

I don't like teacher-student story lines (AT ALL) but even I think it's a bit rich to automatically brand this story 'icky' without knowing anything about its dynamics... especially when many of the same people wouldn't bat an eyelash if the female were older.

Older women are cute and conflicted while older men are just plain ol' creepy. Got it.

Back when before Jang Hyuk lost the baby fat and became "chiseled", he did "beta" very well in roles like for "Windstruck" (where he played a hapless teacher who was forever being pulled in all directions by Jeon Ji-heon's character).

In "My Little Bride." Kim Rae-won's wasn't exactly beta, being a player and all; he was just a goofy player-type.

I'll check it out just to see how it is. I won't make any judgements right now. If they cast a complete unknown, I'd be happy. Give the young potentials a chance instead of always picking a pretty face with fame! :)

If he's her high school teacher, wouldn't this relationship be illegal? I'm not sure what the laws are in Korea but I know in some places even if the student is technically of consenting age, if it's a teacher-student relationship then it's still illegal. The problem isn't just age but the power imbalance inherent in that setup.

I'm not really a fan of this type of relationship (regardless of the genders involved, although it does seem somewhat more problematic if it's a male teacher-female student). I'd be more on board if it was a college professor - that's still unethical, of course, but it would feel like the student had more control in the situation. It just feels like it would be so much easier to manipulate a teenager with their often naive, inexperienced, easily impassioned natures. (I'm not saying every teenager is like that but many are.)

From what I've heard, they already started filming and the actress has been casted. Her name is Jo Bo-A. I'd like to learn more about the script before I speculate. So far, I read that the student is in love with her teacher, but it doesn't specify if the teacher corresponds? Although otherwise, why would they be calling it a romance? Maybe it will be a platonic thing? Who knows?

I'm not concerned about Jang Hyuk not been able to pull off romance because, hmm, he has done it many times before and he hasn't always played "aggressive" types. He played a sweet and pacific hero in Daemang (more prone to commut suicide than fight), he was wonderfully sweet and beta in Windstruck as someone pointed out. In fact, Jang Hyuk in his interviews comes off as incredibly gentle and introspective so I totally see him in a role like that. My biggest issue with this movie is I don't necessarily trust this director. But I won't judge until I watch it.

Does the story say if the teacher falls in love with the student too?

It could be a What's Up scenario. Where the student falls in love alone and the teacher's role is to just give her some life lessons and help her grow up.

Jang Hyuk in trackpants and tank tops? Sign me up.
But please don't be dodgy!

Kim go-eun, is that the name of the actress or the role? i can't find it on google.

jang hyuk,too agressive?no no,he is just well versed in martial arts but is really a soft spoken guy,totally capable of doing soft romantic scenes.will really be curious abt who plays e girl

ow I was hoping for a Jang Jang reunion with Jang Nara, but be asking a lot for her to do a whole drama as a highschool girl. it would be doable with few episodes then a years later set up though.

Does Anyone notice that jang hyuk in this picture looks like hyunbin? or it is just me :)
