Why couldn't the heroine possess a particularly brilliant mind? Sigh...

More CJH? Yes, please! He is gorgeous, I do hope he shows up with different hair this time. I dislike the man bangs. I'm not entirely sure he can act because he was pretty great in GFB but it was such an easy character, then he was flat for me in FTLY but it was a superficial character so I can't judge. Never watched EC because I dislike divorce stories.

I thought he was already off to the army soon. I guess not. Seems like he's really pushing the deadline.

And it's funny how he's suddenly going to be doing active duty when it was so publicly reported that he was gonna do the police performer thing. All that backlash probably got to him in the end.

I just hope he is signing up as the lead this time round, it's time for him to move up to the first lead instead of being the second all the time!

It would be his big role if the writers do this right. I really have no confidence in MBC dramas these years.

It still is perplexing for me that instead of LYB, it's CJH that received a lot of fame after GFB's success. Seung-gi and Suzy were big stars way before the drama, YYS did the very successful AM94 while Sung Joon had INR3. But LYB is only doing a second lead role more than a year after GFB's end when she totally deserved to be the breakout star.

CJH, on the other hand, has - IMO - the same facial expressions and dialogue delivery in almost everything I've seen him in. Other than the so called 'hotness' he really is pretty one dimensional. I though the guy who played Dylan in the original FTLY was bad, but CJH just beat him.

I was hoping Daniel Choi gets to play the lead in this one since it sounded like something he'd kill. Too bad, because I'm so out if it's CJH.

Yes to Choi Jin Hyuk! And if Kim Ah Joong doesn't sign on, can I wishfully hope for Im Joo Eun? Love her! And him in Heirs where they and everyone else were criminally wasted. That would be a reunion that I'm looking forward to! :)

Ehh though I had a good opinion of him after following GFB but I wonder if all the hype colored my perception. Every other role of his I've seen has been boring and I felt outright contempt for his character in EC. So now I feel I would've rather had Daniel Choi, unless this project bombs then I'm glad he's out.

Someone said she should be particularly brilliant which I agreed but then we see what happens when everyone's a genius (ahem Medical Top Team).

Overall I hope for the best but my tentative excitement is gone (though that was more when it was still Lawless World or whatever).

"enough to bypass university wholesale and become a prosecutor right out of high school, having passed the bar exam at 21"
So u don't have to attend law school to become prosecutor in Korea? Just need to pass bar exam??

I'm honestly waiting for Daniel Choi, because I want to see him as male lead! I already formed my imagination on how Daniel Choi will take this role.

Somehow with this CJH casting, it raises eyebrow on me. I never thought CJH is good enough to be first lead on big3 networks. His character in EC is annoying, instead of charming n he's completely overshadowed by Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra in FTLY. GFB was when he really shone, maybe because that's the only good thing from drama n his character is interesting.

Well, I will wait patiently for Daniel Choi's next project. In the meantime, I'm glad Choi Jin-Hyuk has the chance to build up his drama repertoire before heading off to Military Service.

Personally, I liked him in his other projects since Gu Family Book: Heirs, Emergency Couple, and Fated to Love You. Granted his role in FTLY was limited, relegated to a secondary male lead, and overall the storyline for his character was underdeveloped and constricted. Grandpas Over Flowers Investigation Team is on my never-ending Kdrama to watch list.

Yay! I'm excited for this. I love his voice.

Korean dramas and their current penchant for old titles that has nothing to do with the original ones. Iron Man, Pride and Prejudice, what's next? Harry Potter?

damn it. I was really hoping Daniel Choi would take on the leading role. Sigh. Choi Jin Hyuk is cute and all, but he just doesn't have that extra charismatic vibe as an actor imo.

I'm chomping at the bit for this drama. So ecstatic that Choi Jin Hyuk had enough time for this drama. I was so worried about him going to the army. But now I'm tossing confetti at the news.

I hope he never takes a 2nd male lead again. This super fine namja deserves way better roles. FTLY was so hard to watch because while I hearted the main OTP, his character got so gypped.

I remember first noticing him in It's Okay Daddy's Girl and was blown away with his acting and knew immediately he had the "IT" factor to be a star, but so imagine my surprise and happiness that he finally got attention for GumiHOT daddy.

He was fantastic in Gu Family Book, obviously the character being awesome helped, but there was that extra umph factor that I could never get over in that 2nd ep when he's about to die and he says "Why did you do it?" Gets me every time. Other than that, the drama was a trainwreck, but hey, I was okay with it because Wol Ryung was worth it.

Liked him in Heirs, it was awesome to see him breakdown in that last episode, but it was also amusing to see him play such a cold and conflicted character.

Wasn't prepared to like Emergency Couple, but the chemistry between him in Song Ji-hyo was palpable and I enjoyed the drama, especially their bickering moments and their sweet moments.

Not sure what CJH has done to deserve so much vitriol on dramabeans recently, haters be hating. I miss the days when everyone here on dramabeans lamented over how he was being overlooked and deserved better roles because they had seen him in I Need Romance.

Wow, I saw him in a recent Happy Together episode and I was surprised from that outcome. I believe he has a thing for female idols since he had always dreamed of being a singer before acting. I wouldn't be surprised to see him date a singer rather than an actress.
