For some reason, I want Ha Ji Won on this one.

Or maybe Kim Ha Neul. I miss her.

I'll give this a shot then. For the "darling" and in hopes of seeing some of the writers' past glory too.

Speaking of which, why is Jeong Kyeong Soon not mentioned in the posts here? She is in the news linked and the lady has co-written most of Jang Yeong Cheol's works with him.

as someone who's loved lee el in every drama she's been in, I'm hyped.

I'm actually getting the feeling that seo kangjoon wasnt really suppose to be the lead guy but rather the younger version but whoever made the original article db based on made a mistake or something..that makes more sense to me.. because i dont think the makers are that stupid to cast seo kangjoon as the main and kikwang whos 3 years older play the younger version..

what about sung yuri?

Hoping to drama gods that Kim Ha Neul will be the lead actress. They need to do another project together. They're both solid actors on dramatic and comedic fronts plus their chemistry is off the charts.

poor seo kang joon getting bash for nothing.
whatever i hope this drama got good ranting for KJH sake. I adore him so much.

Hajiwon, please!

Anyone but Hwang Jung eum. She had zero chemistry with Kang Ji hwan in Incarnation of Money and that's a hard fail to pull off. Since he can generate heat with popsicle.

I SWEAR TO GOD I HAD A FEELING THIS IS HOW IT WOULD TURN OUT & IT DID
Ever since the first time I heard about this particular projet I had Kang Ji Hwan's picture in my mind, the role seems tailor made for him, & I am sure he will insert some comic timing in it, he just won't resist
& with Hwang Jung-eum out, I am ready to start my very first 50 episode Drama!
Triple YAY!!!

Yay, now Seo Kang Joon is free and can play some Baek In Ho V2.0 who will get a girl.
At least no more second lead/overly serious roles for him, plz drama gods
...Never have seen Kang Ji Hwan's dramas but I always have feeling like he is playing this exact role..fighting for justice, getting revenge

Hajiwon much better for this.

Yes! Hwang is out, I might be in! Kang Ji-hwan!

and HJE out ... yeah.... I'll wait for HJE new drama. Hope she plays in mini-series drama and fresh pairing....

+1

Meant for kaylie and gyu posts

Agree,,,wait for Hwang jung eum new drama mini-series with fresh partner pleaseee.....

agree with you @Tapioca Pearl.... no matter what they said about HJE,... I wish she will plays new drama quickly... I really miss her... and wait new partner for HJE...:)

YAY! Seo Kang-joon being out means he can do a youthful rom-com next where he gets a girl of his own and not just an absolute nutjob sister being replaced by a warmhearted one. Oh and I need him to be rough on the edges again, I just can't get enough of In-ho.

As for this drama, I have a major KJH allergy so I'm out. Unless they cast the most awesome actress ever.

Ah.... i wanna see KJH in something light. But i love him (and HJE) in incarnation of money, so i'm ok with an

Thank you Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Drama God, and everyone else!!!

Kim Sa Rang please! She was fantastic in Beloved Eundong, and such a good kisser, she match well with Kang Ji Hwan.

Now i'm gonna watch, i always think skj didn't intended to be the main lead, he just one of the lead, maybe the younger version, some drama have more than one male lead

although i am glad that HJE is out (she should spend time taking a break, planning her wedding, being with her soon to be hubby) i can't understand the hate for her??

sure, her looks aren't everyone's cup of tea but she's a solid actress and i'll take acting chops over a pretty face AAAANNNYYYY day. plus, KMHM basically solidified her as a moving and likeable enough actress for me. SWP wasn't for me but still, i know she has acting ability (although she does tend to over act) and because of this, i can't understand the hate she gets for taking on project after project.

she's AN ACTRESS. girl just doing her job lmao

I want Kim Ha Neul too but if I remember right she already announced her wedding in May. Her last drama was A Gentleman's Dignity.

Awesome news! I love KJH. Now, if only Ha Ji Won joins, this will be like my dream team!!!

Lee Bo Young or Lee Si Young for me.

Well. I don't dislike HJE but i'm kinda sick of her in too much dramas with that shrieking voice but i will be glad to have her back again with fresher and more challenging roles. KMHM is a one man show anyway

Kim ha neul, Lee bo young, kim sarang, or jang hee jin would really match well with him

Welcome back KJH...can't wait to watch this drama

50 episodes ?? Good then, i can see him more longer...hoping for great story

I was looking forward to him playing a dad and hijinks ensuing, but I am also happy about this. I love the writer who did Giant, History of a Salary and of course Incarnation, so this is definitely something I will get giddy for

I love Kang Ji Hwan and have loved him for a long time. I have seen all of his dramas and movies except BIg Man.... I wish he chose a rom-com this time (was looking forward to him accepting My Little Lady) instead a melo but I guess I will just have to take whatever I can get.... KJH Fighting!!!

Hoping for a good female lead but not too worried because he always have good chemistry which whomever he plays opposite him.

50 episodes...... and it sounds a heavy watch :( Loved him in rom-coms.

Bummer that he passed on the rom-com, but his dramatic acting is pretty awesome too. He really is a talented actor... he seems to shifts moods at the drop of a hat and he can be very convincing.

I recently watched one of his early dramas "Fireworks" and yeah, I agree that he was the only consistency in that show when everyone else jumped ship lol. I'm sure he will do well and I might even tune in, but after trying to get through Dazzling/Glamourous Temptation because of Joo Sang-Wook and Kang Choi-Hee (and couldn't because of where the show as going I quit after ep 27/28)... I am not sure if I can handle a 50 ep drama lol.

Let it Yoon Eun Hye be the leading lady. They match perfectly.
