I like yuri's acting ,its not some helen mirren lvl but very easy going and true to character .

Uuuuugh my favorite reader from Healer, just why .___. I already pump up after Kang Haneul news come out... then... just why... Healer-yaaaaa

SM won't stop until every single on of his idols have infiltrated into the drama world. Good luck Kang Haneul..you'll need it!

there will be so much shirtlessness for this drama. unless they get stranded on some cold, baring strait sort of island... but when does that ever happen?

NOOOOOO, her acting is the worst out of all the SNSD actresses.

I would rather much prefer Sooyoung, heck even Yoona since she was decent in her last kdrama.

I would want Sooyoung but she looks like she's in her early 30s so she wouldn't visually suit with Kang Haneul at all.

But Yuri??? I'm so upset.

SM dolls again sighhh i'm getting sick

I thought I didn't care who's paired up with Kang Haneul in this drama, but when I found it was her... *sigh*
Good thing he hasn't comfirmed yet. Please don't take this drama, Kang Haneul.

lol @ some ifans cosplaying knetz

Is this drama produce by sm c&c?

Kang Haneul is a very talented actor, he deserves to be in a good drama (with good script – not yet convinced that's gonna happen here) with a solid cast, including his co-lead. I can't think of an idol-acress that would fit that description for me on the top of my head (I'm probably forgetting someone).

If he can't get that... I think he'd be better off not taking this drama or decamping to film-land where his talent will be put to use more wisely.

His project choices seem to be pretty mixed so far though (I'm guessing because he can't be that choosy yet, sadly, because I find that means his talent is being wasted).

forget the acting issue. which one of these potential leads are supposed to bring the viewers in? this seems like such an odd combination for a big three drama.

usually, if one lead has yet to lead a drama they match them with someone who already has proven they can bring in viewers, cable somethings has exceptions. there's a reason the reply alum all have very seasoned co stars in their comeback projects.

Nooooooooo......

I enjoyed her role on Neighborhood Hero, I dont think she's that bad .

I don't think Yuri is the main lead, all the articles about her casting don't talk about what role she is, meaning it's definitely not the main lead since they would've specified that if she were. She's probably a second lead.

I want to share my personal opinion regarding Yuri acting after watching fashion king, No breathing and Local Hero. Honestly, fashion king is not her best acting yet it is not too worse.
There is several parts or scenes that yuri did better despite it is her debut drama. For example deep kissing scene with Lee Jae hoon as well as the scene where she slap Yoo ah In on the face. the scenes leave quite impression for me. Overall, FK is not a drama that show yuri potential to the max because the drama itself has many lacking especially poor story line & plot, poor directing even though they have great actors such as YAI & LJH.
NB Movie-Not many scene yuri characters involved in this movie because they focused much on the two leading man. Despite yuri bad acting, but her did well in audition scene. her character just OK for me.
LH-this drama showed the improvement in Yuri acting than the previous two. from reading her line, facial expression etc. i was fooled by one one teaser where Yuri in white dress is fighting & kicking like bad ass and thought she played the characters that suit her but it turned out she just played a writer. But overall, i can see the improvement despite it is just minor role. Her chemistry with Lee Soo Hyuk & President Hwang also great. Lastly, i heard she is currently acting in web drama. Not a fan of web drama. But i give a try. i think this drama is a good things to see her acting improvement SINCE this is her first Main Character meaning there is more scene on HER...and the focus is only HER and her main male lead.
And for upcoming drama, don't know whether she will play Lead or Second Lead. But since it is produce by SM&CC, i think she will get major role. I will anticipate this drama since i love the script writer previous work, HEALER.

I'm not familiar with Yuri's acting but I was kinda hoping Jung So Min will get the female lead role in this drama. Because She and Kang Haneul were so cute in Twenty, and both are definitely can act and are great actors. Well.. Hmm!

Seriously, the lack of (well known) actresses in the late 80's-early 90's age range atm basically guarantees that girl group members will be trying to transition into acting (esp the older gen members who are around this age range)

It's either them or castings of VERY young actresses (aka KYJ, KSH, KSR) which has been happening and or Noona romances. Which I feel was the rage a few years ago but not atm.

Anyway, my point is that this casting choice doesn't surprise me. Plus I've never found Yuri's acting amazing but she definitely has a kind of appeal--essentially, I don't hate her so that's saying a lot. I'm all for KHN and I'll be on board if both of them signs on.

I was looking forward to this but now.... :(

i actually like watching her. fashion king was pretty bad for everybody involved (and it made me HATE shin se-kyung so much), but she was all right in neighborhood hero. i think she has a natural, easy aura and honestly, has the potential to be a lot better than yoona. and she has that something that pulls you in and makes you want to watch her—at least for me.

and given that the writer is song ji-nah, wouldn't it be a major coup for yuri if she lands the role? and kang ha-neul as the male lead is pretty solid too.

NOOOOOOO. So freaking bland. NO.

What the heck. Yuri is so plain compared to Sooyoung in looks and personality. Acting-wise, soo young is the only snsd member that should be allowed to act.

So from the comments on here I gather that she is an idol, turned bad idol actress? I had a little interest in the premise of this drama, but now with no interesting casting, and also with the term " youth romance" used which means the story will be so limited, I will pass on checking out this show.

Yuri? Really? REALLY? Find someone better, please!

Yay Yuri!!!! Please try to prove everyone wrong with your acting improvement! FIGHTING!!!!

I'm going to give this a try just because of the age-appropriate casting. I'm so over casting young girls with much older men!

i think i can bear her acting compared to yoona...
