I'm just really curious as how I'm suppose to see Baekhyun as older than Nam Joohyuk and Ji Soo. He probably is, but that visual will be peculiar.

Also, yay for more and more dramas being pre-produced. I like that the networks have been experimenting with this style as its always more beneficial for the actors.

"She hides her identity and becomes a gisaeng who specializes exclusively in song and dance, and she’ll have a hidden agenda for why she became a gisaeng in the first place."

Watch this drama unravel the truth about how Seohyun is secretly the genius daughter of Lee Soo Man's old rival and how she became a part of SNSD who specializes in song and dance (but not necessarily acting...) and tolerating her unnies for yeaaaaars (despite clearly being able to be the next Ban Ki Moon) to work on her hidden goal of twisting and ruining SM from the inside. Let's. Watch.

(ok some people may be unpredictably sensitive and serious so imma just remind y'all this just a joke, JOKE AYE)

I can't wait for september to come so I'll have Lee Jun Ki ssi in the small screen again :) let's hope the script and idol actors do their roles well!!!

I AM SO READY FOR THIS.

although i think ji soo can take on a much meatier role *cough*13th prince*cough* i am excited to see him play a bright and happy character for once lol. granted, he has waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more acting chops and charisma than nam joo hyuk but eh, i'll take what i can get of ji soo!^^

tbh, i still think lee jin ki was horribly cast for this (yeah he can act but so can many other actors that fit the role more) he's still too much of a pretty boy for my tastes. but oh well, i'm not complaining when i get to see IU x kang ha neul x ji soo x so much pretty on my screen.

PS. so many wangs, how will i ever get their names straight -___- i remember being confused between ri-jin and ri-on for the majority of KMHM lols

I hope for the sake of this cast that this turns into a scenario where most people go "what in the seven hells" when the cast is announced, and when the drama actually airs, they prove that they're (at the very least) good in the roles assigned to them. This will be....interesting to watch (and probably painful for me if these performances are terrible or something, because I may have a soft spot for a lot of this cast, both in and out of the acting sphere).

err. think you missed this bit "Park Shi-eun (Hold My Hand) has been cast Kang Haneul’s wife"

I guess Park Shi-Eun is likely to be Mingyu then. Don't think they'll cast a Ruolan in this version

YAAAAY IU and Lee joonki AND kang ha neu???l..can't wait!!

I'll come for the pretties whether I stay or not it depend on the storyline , I'm not worry about acting cause this drama have so many cast that even if somebody not good enough there still other to help carry the it

yes thank the drama gods ji soo is not an angst teen here but one who is loved by practically everyone but then who can resist a face like that.
@junnie55 totally totally agree with you with having to wait s whoooooooooole eight months before I can see ji soo on my screen. *pouts* so not fair

Preproduction doesn't mean anything to the quality if the script is beyond terrible, and the leaked ones seem very hopeless. I'm just gonna keep my expectations to the minimum and hope all the characters look pretty.

On board with the boys! Hope IU does this period some justice. I don't really enjoy this time period in Korean history, but YEAH I'm checking it out!

I'm currently watching Bu Bu Jing Xin and am in love with it.
Actually I'm really afraid the Korean remake will be a mess. Aside from the leads and Ji Soo, the others are just... less than stellar.
My only hope is this drama won't be live-shooting, so the actors would have more preparations so the acting outcome won't be that bad.

I feel like this drama could turn out to be similar to Lee Jun Ki's previous sageuk "Scholar Who Walks the Night". His acting was the best part of that drama because I was not thrilled about the storyline. Meh.

I just want to take Junki and Jisoo out of this drama and put them in other drama. Love them but I don't think that I'm gonna watch this drama..

IU 'acting' again?

please spare us from IU's non-existant 'acting' !!!

Having watched the original, I highly doubt Nam Joo Hyuk will be able to portray 13 sufficiently. Yuan Hong did such an amazing job with the character in the original that I really wish they had Jisoo play 13 and Nam Joo Hyuk play 14. 13 requires such a nuance portrayal that I just don't think Joo Hyuk has the abilities to do.

I like Kang Haneul and he is a great actor but its going to be a stretch to believe he is similar in age to Junki in the drama. 8 and 4 are supposed to be close in age and similar in feel when watching while Junki and and Haneul are so very different in both age and general vibe.

I am really looking forward this drama but after reading that the setting will set in Goryeo era makes me feel bit dissapointed because it will involved different hanbok for girl or guy. I like hanbok in Joseon Era. I already imagined IU and Junki in Joseon traditional Hanbok, but now I know it will be in Goryeo Era. I know several outfit in Goryeo era in dramas like Faith and Empress Ki. But still pump to wait this drama.

kind of funny how jingxin is scarlet heart, as jingxin is nothing similar, but I digress.

I can hardly wait from this new drama. Hope it will be better than the Chinese version.

Based on the character description, i think Baekhyun's acting won't be as cringe as I thought it would. It fits his image in EXO.
Although i don't wanna have any prejudice, I still feel bad for Lee Junki. He truly is lacking in luck department for drama female partner considering his level

i think everyone should be less worry because this drama would be directed by director of It's okay its love, that winter wind blows and the world within. At least the cinematography would be amazing and good soundtrack. The director know how to make sure everyone stand out (prove from its okay, its love). Even gong hyo jin look super pretty and charming there even i dont think she was pretty before. Plus, it would be pre-produced so the cinematic and writing value could be enhanced!

Honestly, BBJX was nothing more than an average drama for me, I don't understand the hype. I spent the whole time watching it thinking it could have been much more, so I was thrilled to hear Korean producers were thinking about doing a remake. No, I don't think they only do terrible remakes. I might still be against the current saying this, but I thought the remake of Liar Game was awsome.

Now that I see the cast, do I still think Koreans will make a good remake? I can't say I don't have doubts. I sincerely believe any production crew that chooses idols over actors is more concerned about fame and ratings than quality of plot, regardless of whether it's for primary or secondary roles, so chances of getting a hyped but bad drama are significantly increased.

But hey, innocent until proven guilty. I'll definitely give it a look. As long as it doesn't fall below the original version, I'll like.

September? Hmmmm...
If my memory correct, it will enter the rating battle with Lee Young Ae's (Shin SaimDang)...
N more than Korea, i'm curious who will be winning it in China... since Bu Bu Jing Xin were so big in there and so does Lee Young Ae as Dae Jang Geum...

I would really love to watch the drama but the cast is the crappiest I have seen in a long long time. It's so meh. Only tons of young good-looking dudes and pretty ladies. That's not what I'm looking for. I think I will have to pass...
