Lee Bo-young courted for new time slip drama

It looks like we’ve got another time slip drama on our hands for the new year. SBS has decided on God’s Gift – 14 Days as their new Monday-Tuesday drama set to follow Warm Words, and they’re courting Lee Bo-young (I Hear Your Voice) to headline. The drama is about a mom who travels back in time to save the child she lost, so I guess it sort of makes it a time-travel drama AND a condensed-time drama, kind of like Mi-rae’s Choice crossed with Two Weeks?

The new drama comes from the PD of Dummy Mom and the writer of Iljimae (the Lee Jun-ki version). It’s the story of a mother who loses her child and then gets the chance to go back in time to do it all over again and fix fate. Maybe in that sense it’s most like Nine, which then of course makes me worried she’ll have an even bigger price to pay for “fixing” things. Not that you could stop a mother from fighting tooth and nail to save her child, obviously. It sounds like a strong premise so hopefully the execution will yield something good.

It seems like a fantastic role for Lee Bo-young, who has had quite the year in dramaland with two big hits and a daesang nomination going into award season. It would be nice for it to be a dramatic thriller more than a melodrama, though I’m sure the setup itself will wring tears. She’s considering favorably for now.

God’s Gift – 14 Days is set to premiere in February.

I'm so excited omg I love Lee Bo Young. But it's a (another! Isn't anyone tired of playing with time?) time travel drama so I'm kind of wary on this one. I guess I'll just wait for more plot details and the rest of the casting to see if it's worth the watch.

I loved saving your child thing in Two weeks because of suspense and action but I don't think I'll enjoy it in a melodrama. Too much tears! The world is miserable and life is hard enough, I don't need my kdrama addiction to give me tears.

i like any genre "done well"--good writing and not-to-unrealistic hijinks...wait, nevermind, I really don't like makjangs, but I like everything else done well. lol. I'm so vague.

They should make it the IHYV´ love child. Definitely 100000% watching that. :D

Great idea. She should be going back to save her child with Park Su Ha. Suha can then put in a cameo!

If it's well written and well acted I will watch it. Whenever a play, a book, or a drama is distilled down to a few sentences, it often looks "the same" as something else. If I had seen, "a guy is given his uncle's ring and spends the rest of the book looking for a volcano to dump it into," I never would have read "Lord of the Rings."

I try not to judge a drama on the description. I like her and hope this Time Skip will be good.

I'm not looking forward to another time travel based drama but I'll probably tune in for Lee Bo-young.

Loooove her, but I was kind of hoping we were done with the time travel dramas for the time being. Surely it's time to start beating the alien concept to death? *poker face*

I was curious when she'll be coming back for a drama and this news comes. The synopsis does not promise much but then IHYV's synopsis was too and watching it was the best decision I made.

A lot of things need to be right to make a good drama. Gotta agree that the plot doesn't seem much now but let's see how it turns out with the full cast, the pacing / directing and the actual storyline itself =)

Interesting.

She and SBS have been on a roll lately and if all the right elements come together, she and SBS may just have another successful project.

I wish them well. And who knows, we may all just be surprised by the result.
