Lol, well I'm for it. It's fun to have some good melo-angst here and there. I also didn't realize there were two writers for Secret! I wonder if this is the person who kept the plot in check LOL.

Oh that's funny. I just said the other day that I really enjoyed several of the drama specials she wrote and that KBS should give her a drama. I guess they heard me! Will probably check this out on the strength of those drama specials alone.

The writer(s) of 2013's "Secret" managed to make makjang good (is that even possible???? Maybe it was the star power and great acting chops of the cast), I think do to its tight knit writing, and I liked it, so I might keep my eyes out for this one....

Why can't I have my own childhood Romance? There's so many drama with childhood Romance so it must happen often in real life too right?

"Savage Heat" sounds like a kitschy eros novel about werewolves.

Sooooo it's the co-writer. Terrific then. I have gotten accustomed at the makjang writing style of Choi Ho-chul, let's see how the other half pulls this off.

SAVAGE HEAT is a perfect title for a movie with lots of gangs, gals and guns. Not to mention its very sexy aspect.

I can't be the only one who thought of A Better Tomorrow when they read the premise. So many feels. However, while John Woo might have been a cheesy, sentimental man (I choose to ignore his career post-HK lol, hence the past tense), he's got nothing on Korean melos...fully expecting an OTP-driven sob-fest, wherein the brothers forget they even have jobs, let alone jobs that pit them against each other, until it figures into the romantic angst.

...sorry, this has to be one of the most random comments ever.

I love Secret, particularly because of leading casts. Plot was good, but i was into acting more. Melodrama can be plain boring if it falls under the wrong actors but if the casts are performing well, it can turn the mood on. Plus, the good script plays important part.

Melodrama is my fav, plus Secret still one of my fav drama todate, so i may give this a try. Just hope the casts are good.

meh. It would be better if the criminal brother with minor offences discovered his brother is corrupt as hell and part of something really monstrous. like getting the worst murderers false documents and clean start for good money. Then he starts to secretly sabotage the corrupt brothers deeds, he finds out ...maybe the woman has a hand in this and accuses the criminal brother of something, so the corrupt brother can put him away. but really it is just a way to make the corrupt one trust her and she is after her boyfriends killer, wanting to know under what name he goes currently.

Guys plot might suck but if the acting is any good I'll give it a go- I loved secret the first drama that msde me cry a bucket load during my half term holidays. It was fantastically brilliant and I ignored the plot loopholes for my escapism.

Hope it turns out better and writer-nim fighting and to the gods of dramaland please don't be so averse this time round to my plea to not ruin he project

Savage Heat. Haha. Reminds me of harlequin romance books with covers screaming of cheesy titles complete with risque illustrations.

hmmm..little bro is a detective, hyung is a criminal(sort of) due to hard life..sounds a bit like triangle in reverse. then add on the usual romeo-juliet love thingy..aigoo. i'm curious about it but this is not really my cup of tea.

maybe, if they can rope very good actors/actresses, i might want to watch it..just for variety's sake.

Childhood romance trope is so over used but if its used in right ways it still might work... (Secret was good so little hope is raised)

All it requires is good casting and script (easier said than done ) if things have to be changed start with the title.

Ah .. Secret .. love it! Am really looking forward to what Yoo Bo-ra comes up with ..

Yoo Bo-ra's KBS drama special "Yeon Woo's Summer" is charming and delightful - highly recommended (available on Youtube)

Secret was my guilty pleasure, so I'm going to check this on out for sure ( hope the cast can be as good as the one the got for secret though).

Gis! ! Whyyyy!!
I just want to see handsome guy like Park seo joon , lee jong suk, jisoo, Kim bum, Nam joo hyuk, lee soo hyuk , !!!!!!!

Erm..erm..but I do love some of the good makjangs though..Heheh

Okay, I didn't hate the car kiss in Secret like everyone else that's commented obviously does. I thought it was an accurate expression of the inner truth of Ji Sung's character. It was aggressive and fully conveyed his attraction and desire for Hwang Jung-Eum's character in an "at odds with himself" kind of way.

It was like he was saying, "this is the reality of where I'm at with you--I want you." Ji Sung's character followed it up by slowing down and kissing her gently once he got the truth of his feelings out. It was an unusual scene and an adult one. The dialogue that followed between them confirmed Ji Sung's character's intense feeling. He did not want Hwang Jung-Eum's character to think what he'd just done was a mistake; it was a turning point in their relationship (dysfunctional and riddled with turmoil though it was).

Secret was not about puppy love.

I'm going into Jisoo withdrawl. I think when She was Pretty ends, I'll watch Secret. I like all 4 of the leads a fair bit...

This sounds a little like Triangle lol like the first part of it, right?
