Awwww.. I so much like the casting. And the premise sounds promising. Looking forward to it. Bring it on, 2017!

This is a good news, after the bad news of casting KYK as a lead, i am a fan of this actor since I've watched him in Remember, looking forward to this drama.

Woot! The intelligence agency spy thingy and the casting just raised my interest.

Btw I was listening to the podcast and we didn't get an overview on kcon la right? Or did I miss sth? I was looking forward to your sessions with the guests.

Is it weird that the minute I read devastating secret, I was thinking: ooooh, he's gay isn't he. And then when Javabeans made sure to mention that the show insists on it being Man x Man, I immediately thought awww, Park Sung Woong is going to fall in love with his bodyguard (which is totally understandable because it's Park Hae Jin!) and will spend the episodes pining away for him. The villain and the bodyguard. Talk about an unconventional romance :).

Yay!!!!

I'm delighted to hear the news. This is shaping up to be really, really good. I can't wait!

Don't recognize any of the names except Park Hae Jin who isn't really my cuppa, but I like the look of the hallyu guy. The way he's described and the fact that he isn't a flower boy makes it a whole lot more interesting. Wasn't a fan of the writing in DoTS so that's not got a lot of pull for me, but since the halluy star character intrigues me I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this.

It doesn't have to be 100% pre-produced. Just make sure it's well written, well shot, well edited. I am excited for the cast so just be a good drama. It can be like Last with 8 episodes complete with script out for upto 12 and it'd be fine as long as it is well done. From what I've seen so far pre-produced does not necessarily mean quality.

Totally unexpected but definitely very intriguing. I was thinking they meant to do your typical pretty-boy actor who makes bad decisions, needs to be protected, and then bring on the bromance as bodyguard and actor acclimated to each other. I would have enjoyed that. Now I'm even more ready to watch this because I can't immediately see the bromance angle and that makes it more fun. Like, what if it's less bromance and more like brothers-in-arms? How cool!

So glad they've cast a mature person for the "top actor" because the story will probably be more serious.

Looking forward to this especially since it'll be on cable.

Never thought Park Sun Woong will be the hallyu star but now this excite me the most! And who doesnt want Park Hae Jin as bodyguard ? Looking for more bromance.. Anyway next year is the day after tomorrow, so i don't have to wait for a long time *sigh

Lol, I just watched this guy in The Shameless and I'm so surprised. He's the type that I tend to forget about but then every time I see him in something, I'm like "Oh! I like this guy!!" and remember him instantly.

This will be an interesting pair and I hope it makes for an interesting show as well.

birth secret .. ousted as father - son by end of drama?

This drama just got 100x more badass bc of his casting. I love it! I loved HIM in Remember and omg, both of these guys together–I'M SO EXCITED!!

I didn't really expect them to get someone very well known tbh. LMH, KSH, BJY or JDG wouldn't realistically pick a JTBC drama. They're too big for that. This choice is good though, I can see it working well and the network didn't have to kill their wallets for it too.

Man x Man tho - what does that even mean? 'X' is the slang for linking a couple no? Lol, that's unlikely but I'm a bit intrigued.

Anytime i see dis man i think oooo sexy ahjussi! Me like?

Man x Man.

It's like the Japanese manga Hunter x Hunter, which is about hunters hunting hunters. So maybe the drama is about men manly protecting other men protecting other men..
I don't know.

This drama and the K-2 are perfect examples of when actors I like pick dramas that I don't find interesting. So I will be passing on both shows. I might check them out when they are finished, if they get good reviews.

I continue to be disappointed that it is probably not going to be a gay romance k-drama. Oh what I would not give... And this combination would be very interesting too. I guess I will have to do with hopefully oodles of bromance :D

Woot! Such exciting news! He oozes charisma and can also slay me with his vulnerability. Chances are the writing will be a good, too-- Queen's Classroom and Friend, Our Legend were both very touching.

Omg great casting! I sorta thought the Hallyu star would have been some younger idol actor-type, but this is so much better.

I'm used to Park Sung Woong being badass, but I liked it when he's funny and charming too.

I hope there is some bromance between these two actors. ^^

Oooh, sounds good. Looking forward to it. I only wish it could air sooner.

I hope its not gays drama....oooh please it can't be :'( not my precious Park hae jin .... noooo its like a nightmare....please be a son who will find out that this actor is his father at the end ...I'm not a homophobic or something but if its gonna be gays drama I'm not intersted at all :(

Hallyu star...villain hallyu star?! LOL Somehow sounds funny to me because so far, do we have a villain hallyu star irl? I don't think so. So this take on a 'new type' of hallyu star sounds fresh to me.

I've only ever seen Park Sun Woong in the movie 'New World' and he was such a scene stealer! Everyone who has watched 'New World' should check out his parody of his 'New World' character in SNL Korea XD

Aw, well there goes my hope that Park Hae-Jin really would be playing everyone lol

Man x Man = Man(2).

Watching kdramas taught me a lot of things. We have history(I'm even quite verse with the Kingdom of Goryeo and who married who), science(I haven't even heard of schrödinger's cat until I've watched W), english - reading comprehension(subtitles and all), and now math. Nice. ??

Park Sung Woong?!?! I don't like Park Hae Jin and wasn't interested in this drama, but Park Sung Woong has gotten my attention. Love this guy, he's such a contrast to most of the male actors in Korea. So masculine and whip smart. The likes of Park Sung Woong, Yoon Kye Sang and Yoo Ji Tae - this is where it's at for looks and talent.
