Yes to LJK as the nerdy Dr. Spencer Reid!!!

My guess is that Lee Jun-Ki would be up for the Hotchner role, though I think he's be a great Morgan - sexy with lots of swagger. I keep trying to picture who I want as Reid and I keep coming back to Ryu Joon-Yeol even though it's slightly similar to his Lucky Romance character. I know that I need Kim Seul-gi as Garcia. Bubbly, cute, and quirky? Who else would you even pick?

They had me at Lee Jun-ki. If he's in it, I'm watching it. I even endured Scarlet Heart just to see his stellar acting and gorgeous face. :D

I see Park Sung Woo as Hotch and Lee Jun Ki as Morgan.. that's my fantasy casting?

As long as Lee Jun Ki is there, I'm going to watch it. No questions.

Does LJK have some kind of a magnet that attracts non capable actresses to work with him?

Every actress has her pro and cons.. but this one.. she is worse than suzy's laughign crying act in UF..

Whatever, she is the worst actress in history of Kdrama.. she totally sucked the soul out of Wanted... so so so lame a acting

Even if script were good, most of the actors were good, direction was good.. if even one character fails to emote, entire project falls flat..

people shud be a little more vocal and allow deserving people play roles

I haven't watched Criminal Minds but the synopsis sounds a bit like I Remember You - is that the case? If it is, that sounds like a must watch!

Please LJK, say yes!

On the other hand, I find Kim Ah-joong not a viable choice at all, she's very lacking as an actress, pretty, but not that good.

Why they don't cast Seo Hyun-Jin for the part? She is already wrapping Doctor Kim! - I can dream, right?

Why does LJK always end up with mediocre actresses? Every recent drama he's been in, I've dropped because the person paired with him can't act their roles out. Nam Sang-mi, Lee Yu-bi, IU, now this...? I hope he skips and picks a good drama with a good costar. As much as I like him, it's not enough to get past terrible drama choices and even worse costars.

I hope he accept it. It's time for Lee Junki to go back to the modern world.

I personally have no problem with procedural as long as it's written well. Just like the US counterpart, if the case is interesting enough there's no need to worry that it'll be boring. I mean, not every show need romance and melodrama. I want to see a korean drama that really just about solving cases without the unnecessary angst please. Sometimes I think korean drama characters cries too much. Hahaha. Or maybe that's just me.

Ahem..well.. i would to see LJK in a dorky/nerdy character(no oversized specs or hair pated in the middle, please). Just make him naive and a bit of a fun guy(a mash of dr reid n ms garcia).. something different from his recent roles(brooding, dark with anguished looks). I am curious to see him in that kind of role..

This project doesn't sound attractive, i hope he doesn't accept.

CRIMINAL MINDS is one of my most favorite shows everrrrrrrr. I think Korea has been doing a good job with dark investigative thrillers like Missing Noir M and Signal. CM is special because it's the Behavioral Analysis Unit, so they assist law enforcement in profiling criminals versus being frontline officers. I'd love to see LJG in such a show although...I think it'd be wiser to take the theme and make it Korean versus completely remaking the show closely. Because CM is well loved!

I loved the original Cold Case but did not love (or dislike) the Japanese remake. Perhaps, I will give it another shot.

I love Criminal Minds but honestly, I have a feeling that this remake would not do so well. If Kim Ah Joong signs on, does that mean there will be romance between LJK and KAH? I'm just hoping there would be no romance in this version and just straight up dark, crime solving. I want solid writing and acting. Well see how Korea does it.

Finally...!!! He's in a modern one, finally!!!

With open script contest, sound like they are seriously looking for solid quality writer. But I have doubt because this is the same team behind Athena and IRIS.

While I am happy that my ultimate bias LJK is considering a modern drama (not that I have problem with him doing another sageuk) with a possible leading lady of the same age and a credible one, I am so against the idea of a remake. A remake is hardly successful in Korea so I hope he will turn down this offer. Still early of the year, there will be more exciting projects coming for LJK.

My vote for LJK is NO, don't accept this offer.

Criminal mind seems too too dark for Korean TV esp a non cable channel . .. I loved the show but by the 9th season I couldn't stomach it anymore ....entertainment should not make you want to throw up... . and if they tone down the crimes then I'm not sure what is left. ... I'll put my vote for - don't do it ljk !

*foaming at the mouth* Teacher in a modern crime drama? REALLLYYYY? Please take it, please!

someone heard us whining, I guess

OMGGGG LEE JUN KI! I would love to see him in a good crime show. He really needs to be picky and choose a solid project though!!

I liked Criminal Minds whenever I caught it on TV; I just wasn't obsessed with following each episode/season. I hope this kdrama is not a direct remake of it though. Remakes can be hits or misses and fans tend to be more critical of remakes.

since this is airing in KBS, I hope they will pick a good director. Please not another Kim Gyu Tae. You have several good director to work with.

I love Criminal Minds but tbh i am scared to hear anything about remake anymore. But if it can be as good as The Good Wife and nof becomes bad as Entourage, then why not.

I dont really convinced KBS will do this remake, i will slightly convinced if it is from TGW's production.

I hope one fine day, Lee Jun Ki will be able to have co-stars and team like Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim. Sure Han Suk Kyu is the centre of the drama but he is not alone and he doesnt have to cover weaknessess from his co stars.

And as someone mentioned above, I really want LJK to be paired with Seo Hyun Jin or maybe with Kim So Yeon.

All I need is LJK. I'm in. :)
