OMGGGGG SOOOO EXCITEDDDD!!! I freaking love her and together with LJK, they are one my favourite OTP EVER!!!

I haven't watched a Kdrama in 2 years, only read recaps and/or news on them. Nothing seemed to compel me enough. Finally, I CANNOT wait to watch this drama!

The director makes me happy as well. Now writer(s) PLEASE don't kill this!

SO HAPPYYYY!!!

This news makes me happy! :)

Now the hard part. Waiting for June! :)

Count me in as another who's excited for this pairing! :) I was really hoping the female lead would be near/on par with LJK, and I'm glad that she accepted!

I, too, don't get those who don't like NSM...I think she's a much better actress than those give her credit for, because she was good in BF and ILPK.

GoM is a horrid example to base one's opinion, because you can't blame her for coming off as badly acted when it was so badly written in the first place!

I am very disappointed with this news. But oh well...life still goes on..lol.. nothing will stop me from watching Lee Junki..not even NSM!

I am crossing my fingers that he'll be pairing with someone I like for his next project.

I'm not really liking this pairing. Didn't watch Time Between Dog and Wolf so I'm not entirely sure how "great" their chemistry was but NSM looks mature for her age whereas LJK has pretty much a baby face so they just don't look "right" to me. I'm a big fan of LJK but I may not watch this. A bit like how I still haven't watch MFAS simply because KSH is starring in it (despite the fact that I adore JJH).

How could anyone in their right mind not love a reunion of the OTP from Time Between Dog and Wold?! This is now my must see drama of the whole year! I am already in love! Don't let me down Kdrama-gods - I know where you live and I will hunt you down.

OMG, She's So Beautiful, I'm In Love Right Now

I'm overly excited for this drama because I'll finally see my Jun Ki twice a week!

I'm totally cool with NSM as she is pretty and can act. Much better than some other actresses who obviously can't.

Oh damn! I was one of those hoping against her casting. Definitely don't think there's anything wrong with me, since I happen to read that there are quite a few people who aren't thrilled about her inclusion too.

I was So Damn excited for this, but now I think I'll pass unless it's said to be as good as TPM. I totally understand if people like her; there are so many actors I like who aren't everyone's favorite too. But NSM does me nothing and she lacks the charisma I look for in actresses. Specially in sageuks. She looked like Jun-ki's noona in TBTDW, and I didn't see chemistry. Still wish they courted MCW or HJM, but nothing can do done about that now.

On a fun note, this is gonna be the ratings battle of the year! IOIL vs. FTLY vs Joseon Gunman. I still dunno what to put my money on. I guess I'll pass on betting then.

I am currently watching Bad Family and she seems fine in that. Haven't seen her in anything else.

Looking forward to seeing it. Has Heads selected her next project? How is she doing? Perhaps she can do this one.

Heads is a sageuk girl do I hope so.

I haven't watched any dramas with Nam Sang Mi before, but I'm watching Time Between Dog and Wolf right now!~ ^^ Actually just finished ep 1 ytd.

I gotta get it in before I watch this drama!! ;]
I hope that Lee Jun Ki & Nam Sang Mi are a good match to me.

She was pretty mediocre in everything I have seen her in including TBDW. But just as her poor performance in Gourmet did not stop me from watching the fabulous KRW in it, she will not deter me from watching Lee Jun Ki in JG. At least she is not irritating. There are far worse actresses than her.

Everyone expecting a couple power reunion, but I think Nam Sam Mi and Lee Jun Ki do not have a star couple power, like MY GIRL couple, chemistry just average. Both are good actors but not a good combo.

Hotel King has terrible plot and writing, plus many many flaws but at least the star couple chemistry managed to make it watchable.

The only actress who was always together with LJK on-screen is SMA and they had a very good chemistry in AATM. I won't prejudge how LJK-NSM combo will turn out this time with TBDW since they didn't have much screen-time together there.
The main reason I'm anticipating this drama is also bcoz of the interesting plot, a famous PD and LJK, a promising k-actor with his brilliant acting and action scenes. His dramas can attract its certain audience to impress them though they are usually used to have less romance. So a star couple seems not that important to him in these kinds of plots. My hope is the writer could pen out well this drama to be an exciting action-packed one. Looking forward unpatiently!

oh no, as much as i like lee jun-ki and his acting, i fear for the quality of this drama. filming less than two months before it airs, wouldn't that affect the drama's overall quality? they might not be able to film a satisfactory ending just like so many sageuk dramas filming on short notice. i hope i'm simply being presumptuous. crossing my fingers and will continue to root for lee jun-ki.

Have always adored Nam Sang Mi...her roles in Bad Family and Sweet Spy were polar opposites but she was equally convincing in either of them. She is a good actress who knows how to step into the shoes of a character.

I think most people's unenthusiastic reaction to her is mostly due to her not being in popular works as of late. I've always known about her but have only seen her in goddess of marriage. I like her, she's pretty.

She must have been in weak dramas in recent years because i think she is a good actress and more than good enough to star with Lee Jun Ki who isnt the best male drama actor other than he is very good in historical dramas.

I think she is wonderful,spunky,cute in Invincible Pyung Kang and she looked very good acting in saeguku parody parts in the eps too.

In a "TBDW Review" published by DRAMABEANS, it states:
"As for Soo Hyun, I never felt his love for Ji Woo – I think he lacked any chemistry with Nam Sang Mi, despite the drama claiming otherwise. Nam Sang Mi herself was quite annoying...."
I totally agree with that statement.

I'm totally happy with this as Bad Family is a classic favorite of mine and Gourmet was great. &of course Lee Junki is just something I can't get enough of.

I guess people that hate Nam Sang‑mi are just jealous of her because she is beautiful with natural beauty and no plastic surgery usually pretty actress get low ratings. Jang Na Ra and Lee Yoo Ri are both gorgeous actress but also have low rating. The only actress that people agreed on that are beautiful and have high rating is Song Hye-Kyo, Park Shin‑hye and Kim Tae-Hee I also agreed that they are really beautiful.
