idc how decent she is at acting, she's only had one acting job, plus i think you have to be better than just decent to star next to lee jung jae and shin ha kyun. is sm determined to ruin all things related to acting?

This movie sounds weird. I won't see it, because I don't really like martial arts movies. Unless this show is a life or death situation, and Lee Jung-jae's character has to win the game in order to be proven innocent. Maybe Shin Ha-kyun is the one who framed him? If that's the case, then I just spoiled the movie for myself. Unless one of them dies, then.... Nope, still not interested.

I have no problems with BoA. I've not seen her acting, so I have no opinion on it whatsoever. But I'm a fan of her music, and she's been in the entertainment industry since 2000. She has a lot of history in it, and if she's only going into acting now, after thirteen years, I hope she is really good, and used her time to hone her acting skills. Of course, Yunho (of the same company) debuted in 2003, and according to everyone else he sucks. So maybe seniority means nothing in regards to skill.

Whatever. Even BoA won't make me watch this, unless a more coherent plot is revealed.

I'm starting to hate SM now.

LOL so many feelings against SM, I don't really understand how you peeps can say that newbies should be given a chance when you won't give BoA who is an acting newbie as well a chance, just don't think about the managing company, and try to be objective about the castingw. It's really no skin off your nose who is cast or not. Hopefully she'll do well after all not all idol actors are bad, if she doesn't then perhaps hopefully she won't be cast again and will stay as the kpop princess she is (I consider the Kpop Queen to be Uhm Junghwa and look how great an actress she is... just sayin')
As for the bad rep SMent has for having their idols go out into the acting world and sucking I'm going to have to say that they're NOT the only ones YG and JYP also don't have the greatest actors in their company. It's not like T.O.P or Taecyeon are good actors, they're hot and cute respectively but not that good as actors and wow... they're NOT SMent idols/actors! so it's not just SM who pushes their idols into things they're not the best at. Please guys just take a look at the person and NOT their managing company sometimes they may shine despite the company. And I know that you'll all say that I'm probably SM biased or something but guess what? I am artist biased NOT managing company biased and so I'll get this out there: On the one hand I've enjoyed one SM actor and that is Choi Siwon, and on the other hand Yunho gives me secondhand embarassment when I watch him act.

ok now that my rant is over... I wish this movie a lot of luck since I love my Lee Jung Jae ahjusshi a lot!

I don't mind anyone acting as long as I feel they're good at it and I saw BoA and felt she was pretty good. I'll just get another chance to confirm it if she takes the role. She's said she's always wanted to start acting so let her try. It's not like this is something deep or emotional. It's a blockbuster at least.

LOVE Shin Ha Kyun and I like Lee Jung Jae so it'll be fun to see these alpha males square off.

From the look of the story, the female "lead" is going to be a "hero's girlfriend" place-holder role, so why not have a singer do it while the actresses find something more interesting to do?

Story like this, it's all about the two minds playing the game. They look good enough to show intelligence and chemistry without being in the same scene, which is what you want.
