Yay! I look forward to watching Lee Jang Woo more than Jang Geun Suk...loved his role in I Do, I Do.

how can the non-pretty guy be prettier than the pretty guy?

Apart from his stint in Hwang Jin Yi, JGS has not done any less angsty pretty teen/musician role.. please don't let him sing this one out.. that's why LJW's intervention is a welcome savior to this show :)

On a side note.. why is WEDNESDAY taking soooo long to come...?
I want to know what becomes of Joong Won-ssi

Granted, Kim Hyun Joong is not a great actor and I have been cringing thinking of him trying to make super serious 'drama' faces during 'Age'...and his hair is really boring these days...but I am still sad that 'Age' has been kicked to the curb. I actually liked 'Love Rain' and still don't understand why it was such a defeat for JGS, and I'm glad he's finally making a drama comeback, but something about him playing an egotistical playboy just makes me really worried. I feel like he already believes he's the most beautiful man on earth, without any particular sense of irony about it. I wish he'd chosen something else for his drama comeback and I'm a little resentful it's pushing KHJ off my laptop screen for...a while/a season/indefinitely.

I'm definitely not going to be watching this show (not a fan of either actor, love triangles or this messy-sounding story) but I wanted to say that this has to be one of the funniest convo-posts you two have done in a long while. Seriously the wit is just rolling off your keyboards in waves tonight. Thank you!

I'm the last to know that Age of Feeling lost its timeslot to Pretty Man and I'm pretty sad about that (about the timeslot not me being the last to know, heh). I know JGS is more talented acting-wise than KHJ but I was looking forward to AoF more than PM. I thought that PM was the one to lose its airing this year and it would be KHJ vs Kim Soo-hyun. But I should have know KBS would do something shifty like this. Anyway, since the story sounds meh, good luck with the ratings KBS.

Re the casting: I maybe would watch this if Lee Jang-woo's the lead.

ugh Lee Jang Woo is one of those actors I irrationally hate. I just don't think he's a good actor nor do I find him attractive. JGS already makes me cringe so I'm gonna pass on this drama.

Koreans think JGS is pretty? I am lost in the cultural translation then.

JGS keeps playing the same roles. He's always the arrogant, talented, handsome jerk with mom problems. I was hoping to see him play a different role in his next drama. Maybe making LGW his rival will shake things up.

Well this hasn't happened in a while, a drama with a second male lead I don't like at all.
I don't like him at all :D That makes me happy because I won't care when his heart gets broken. Good.
Looking forward to this drama.

OMG NOOO LEE JANG WOO. now i have to watch this. hurmph. btw i actually spent a prolonged period of time just staring into his mesmerizing eyes O.O

"she values love above all else, and “looks only at [Pretty Man]"

Another one of those heroines i'm gonna wanna punch, isnt it? It's gonna take one miracle of an actress to pull that one off.

There's just too much news about pretty boys in the media lately. I need me a man.
Like, a won bin, eric mun, so ji sub, joo sang wook, gong yoo, jung woo sung, heck throw in an older version of yeo jin goo.
We need more of these men in k-dramaland.

His character sounds like a hoot, sign me up for the first episode (at least).

LOL.

AVERAGINA is one sensual name!!! HAHA.

Preety Man and Average Woman.

I bet... The heroine will be have this bowl cut hair, sloppy clothes, doing multiple jobs, living with ever nagging parents.

Looking forward for the main female lead. One of them must be an Idol. I'm pretty sure about this :-) :-)

For some reason I can't get excited for this drama. Jang Geun Seok has lost his charm to me after all his crazy antics.

Seriously.

Jang Geun-seok as "Prince of Asia"? Self-titling means big ego. Gwang-soo deserves that title better. XD I don't care if I get skinned alive by EELS (JGS's local fanclub name)

And I am NOT liking his recent look these days, whatever happened to the clean-cut cutie in "Hwang Jin-i" and "Baby and Me"? It's like he's going for the combo of reggae and rugged-looking, and what's up with baring his arms, he's not even that toned TBH.

No qualms about LJW, though pretty miffed after that scandal with OYS and all of them having no backbone whatsoever. At least he's no longer MuBank's MC...

And god, Group 8 again?! *eyeroll*
Another hyped-up ugly thing again, I suppose.

Ok, I don't watch JGS stuff on principle, but why does his flamboyance need to be 'broken' if that's who he really is? To make him more attractive in YOUR eyes? I mean, he's definitely not the 'prettiest' man but he's hardly hideous and he was approached by the writer, not the other way around.

I love Lee Jang Woo!!!!!
Time to watch I DO I DO again!

a Pretty Man...him ?

Lee Jang Woo! Yay! I'm more excited for Jang Woo than the lead. I hope this turns out like a Queen of Reversal-ish story where the 2nd lead shines through at the end. If you were to cast the female lead, who would you want it to be? :)

to javabean: sense isnt really a point...

Its not a deeper sense thats important in manhwa drama, isnt it?

It is a Fantasy Sense. So it is still about the sense I think, but different polar and intensity.

I m sorry to say this, but I choose K drama because korea drama (and japan as well I think) provide this kind of 'manhwa' concept mixing with typical asian emotional mechanism. Means I want to see something too much compare to real life. But also funny, sweet, weird, sooo comical, at the same time. In addition, the actor' physical appearance is such 'an asian barbie' and that is enjoyable as well. The thing I could not find in US or Europe' entertainment products for example.

I know it is only my personal opinion as foreigner for Korean. But I just want to show you an example of thought related to K drama. In this topic, both Jang Keun Suk and Lee Jang Woo or who ever as long as they are making me laugh and enjoy the show, make me understand why the title is stated like that, it will be fine ^_^

cool! I love this guy in I do i do.

everytime JGS mention i cant help be reminded of that whorendous music video. *shrugs*

i was never a fan of flower boys anyway.

Now ,I really like it, if its, say.... So Ji Sub type.. uhmm ummpp..

Having seen all eight of JKS dramas, I am looking forward to this. He is a very goooooooooood actor who brings out the personalities of the character is is playing. His acting made me fall in love with Korean dramas... However there were times when I was not too pleased with the clothes that he wore in both Love Rain and and Mary stayed out...
His wardrobe was faultless in Your're Beautiful...
I would like to see him paired up with a female lead who is worth her price in gold, definitely not Shin Se Kyung who brings nothing to the characters she has played so far.
All the best wishes are yours in this new drama JKS Zikzin!!!

Love love him in "I Do, I Do", he stole my heart...

I love JGS as well.

So, I'm in for this drama.

But please, I don't want IU as the lead actress....
Suzy or Shin Min-ah seem a better match..
