oooh, this is exciting i loved her in God's Gift and she has always been an actress i liked alot. i need to go see the Japanese version now, the story feels like its going to be a lot more darker judging from the Japanese cover so i'm excited and i've seen both thirst and the handmaiden so i'm really excited to see if the writer can pull this off, drama are really different from movies in imo so its going to be interesting.

I remember hearing how good the Japanese version of this is, although I havent had the chance to check it out. I feel like LBY does justice to pretty much any role, so she'll be good with this too.

So great to see her back...well, almost back. :)

Wooo hoooo!

I really liked her in I Hear Your Voice. Alongside her prosecutor frenemy, they are the two reasons why I finished it (her lawyer friend was also great).

Though all, I wish Gong Hyo Jin could play a character like this. I would love to see her in a more dramatic role, thus breaking the sort of type-casting in romantic comedies or something. She is awesome and I love how different she is, it's impressive how she isn't a product of the industry even with these roles.

Han Chae Ah, Soo Ae (kind of hard since she is on about right now), Kim Min Jung (also impossible with Man To Man also happening around the same time) and Park Si Yeon (!!! I would love it too, really like her) would be all also great choices, alongside Lee Bo Young herself, of course.

PLEASE I WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN

FINALLY! Thrilled with her comeback but I hope dear god that she won't get stuck playing mothers and older women with very little substance.

My first drama of hers was I Hear Your Voice and I totally love it ! God's Gift - 14 Days was awesome too but the ending kind of ruin the whole drama....but I might not watch this drama Mother as family and melo are not my cup of tea, sorry :)

The original is still on my list of things to watch, so maybe I'll get around to watching before the remake comes out. I'll definitely be waiting to see this though if Lee Bo Young takes the role.

sounds creepy....

I didn't like some of the recent Jdorama to Kdrama adaptations at all and Mother was such a great, absolutely fantastic dorama.
The cast, the writing, just everything.
Also Matsuyuki Yasuko is I think a much stronger actress then LBO, I would see her more as the biological mother part mainly because of her age. In the original Ono Machiko was great as the abusive mother.
There's no way they'll make it as dark and the ending (no spoilers) but it's not your typical sugary sweet ending that Kdramas like.
Plus Ashida Mana was spectacular in the role, it'll be hard to find a child actress like her.

This sounds like a meaty role and the other remakes done by tVN have been quite good. Like you, I can totally see LBY rocking this character as well.

I love, adore the Japanese drama ( It's so sad though)! I love and adore Lee Bo- young, I could totally see her taking up that role. It's a match made in heaven, let it happened !

Oh!! she is defiantly an A class actress... i first saw her in "I Can Hear Your Voice" and both the leads just nailed their respective roles... i am looking forward for any of her drama in coming future...

I binge watched this drama yesterday and cried so much. T_T
I hope the korean version does it justice, and especially finds a good actress for the role of the little girl.

This news makes me want to binge watch the original.

I hope that this version will do honor to the original j-drama. It will be a very dauting task for the writer and the actors.
