I legit read Meloholic as Miriotic :P

I've been waiting for Song PD's new drama because his patterns somehow shows good drama-bad drama-good drama and this one is supposed to be a good one. But...... You know Yunho (pun intended) , I love you..... But..... Please just..... Reject this one or smth :(

I like Yunho but not as an actor... I hope PD Song knows what he's doing...

Yunho is known to be a super nice guy but I don't know about his acting. I've watched Poseidon but i don't even remember he was in it lol. I'm ready to give him a chance though, we'll see

I can't even pretend to be very cautiously optimistic like for water god. Yunho's fans beg him to not touch acting. We knew he'd have to do some solo work, and perhaps trying to push him as an actor will give him longevity in the entertainment world, but WHY. Why are we not playing to this man's many many talents!!!!1!1!1!1!

This drama gonna flop, boring pilot, and he not handsome enough to "makes all the women’s hearts flutter but does not date", not mention his acting.

A very surprising choice indeed. All of the other actors, I wonder why does it have to be Yunho? Like what everybody is saying, Yunho is a good entertainer, but I am not sure of him as an actor...

Should I get myself ready for lots of cringey moments then?

Crying at the corner*
Why my fav never get this kind of opportunity. ?I love this PD's works although IB was quite a disappointment, but still had few memorable things.

Yunho is bad in acting, if he is to play supporting cast maybe it will be nice. Kyung Su Jin - I don't know if I have actually liked her in anything before. She sometimes was quite OK, sometimes don't.I wish she can be a lead in something like weekend drama first. Yes she was part of main casts in Bluebird House but she is forgettable.

Hmm. maybe the writing can save this drama. Maybe yes. Maybe. Optimist.

Yunho, i love you as a singer, dancer, and entertainer. but, but... i couldn't when it comes to acting :'(

Ouch... the judgement. I don't know the guy but he might need some ointment to apply to those burns ya all give him. ? I will give the poor lad a chance.

hahahahaha, aaaaaaaaaa.....from Erik to Yunho....Somebody is hating this guy, probably both of them: the PD and the poor singer......

Yunho... *sigh* I love the dancing, it's golden and all. But acting? Please sir, don't.

Is the PD of this drama on a self-sabotaging streak or something? He got himself burned with Park Hye Soo who had at least delivered a credible performance in a recent role and by all means could have been expected to potentially do a good job, so now he's going for surefire disaster with an actor who is pretty much the bottom of the barrel in the world of acting-dols to the point where his own fans are begging him not to act? You know, just to be sure they'll have a bad performance in there.

Also, inb4 comments about how he's "improved" in a recent role and "deserves a chance" aka the same old tired discourse we get from fans or hopefuls who try to credit said idol for learning one new facial expression.

Haha! I knew that comments will be like this. I clicked on related post re: night watchman casting and the sentiments are the same. I still hope that someday he'll be able to redeem himself.

I've actually read this webtoon, and frankly I think there are far better stories that could be used for drama adaptations.

I was waiting for your hot take and it didn't disappoint.

I've avoided all subsequent works by you know....Yunho (hahaha). I'm not cautiously optimistic, but when the reviews are in and if there's a 180 in the acting, I'll give it a shot.

"features a man with the ability to read people’s minds, who’s described as a man who makes all the women’s hearts flutter"

Totally gave me What Woman Want vibes.

i was hoping to see Kyung su-jin as a lead but now...i'm going to give a go, for her.
i was really disappointed with introvert boss, both with the writing & acting by the lead actress. i see talent in her (from other drama) but when seeing her in the said drama, it was like seeing someone trying to be another oh hae young (no pun intended).

I clicked on the article because I doubted that part of Yunho being cast... apparently I read it right. I sure hope Song PD knows what he's doing. I love Kyung SuJin though. I wonder how far my curiosity will take me once this airs.

I've only seen Yunho in Night Watchman and the web series I Order You. I didn't think he was terrible. I thought he a bit rough and inexperienced but it didn't take me out of the story. Now, for reference, I thought the woman who was the main lead in Introverted Boss was actually bad and watching her was like hearing fingernails on a blackboard until almost the end of the series when she finally settled in to the part. I do think a lead in a regular drama might be a stretch if the role isn't something easy for him. Still, he just did his service and if he's ready to jump back into work like this his head must be "in the game" as it were.

It's funny that for once I'm like can they deliberate on casting offers. ????

If it turns as good one we will be happy

I feel bad for Yunho, he's a good guy but unfortunately a bad actor. I reeeeaaally hope he got better at acting somehow but my expectations are quite low. Sorry Yunho!

I noticed Kyung Soo-jin from TV Novel: Eunhui when I caught glimpses of her on KBS YouTube. Since then I wondered why she wasn't more popular. Maybe it's just me but I feel she's a bit like Son Ye-jin.
I want to stay positive for her in this leading role project, but I'm not sure really...

Why ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
STAHPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

How will he be able to go from no facial movement while reciting his lines (which is what I saw on Night Watchman) to the micro expressions that will be needed to portray someone who reads other people's minds?

Lol I saw this in twitter and was lije Kyung Su Jin? YES. Yunho though...?

Looks like everyone is thinking along those lines. At least we all know Yunho has a fantastic agent lol.

Who knows, maybe he's gotten less stiff. (Not hoping for much)

I like Kyung Su Jin. I don't know about Yunho.

I wonder if he auditioned for this role, or was just offered.

I would say the drama should not invest too much money and be frugal. Introverted Boss was painful to watch, and even amazing Yeon Woo-jin could not save it. Marriage not Dating also had plot holes, but won over with really likable leads and chemistry between them. I've never seen Yunho, but if everyone says he is bad...Kyung Su-jin did pretty well in all dramas I saw her, but her face is, unfortunately, quite plastic (I have similar issue looking at Kim Ah-joong and Nam Gyu-Ri). The story really needs a good writer to adapt it.

Lol @ "But… you know, Yunho." Mte, tbh. I was excited for the PD and the character descriptions are actually interesting, but the casting is meh. Are we dealing with split personalities or is Su-jin gonna play two characters? Oh man, is the next drama trend gonna be actors playing more than one role and/or split personalities? Dramaland--you can't have just one.

OMG! I didn't even want to read this post... Well, I didn't.
I just read the comments.
It came up to my mind. Think about it, if he is so teeeerrrible at acting why then is he been chosen?
He is a pretty boy, he is an idol, he sings beautifully but acting?
Does he deserve another chance from us? Really?

I hate to sit out another drama from PD Song. But it's Yunho, so I don't have a choice. Gotta settle down with only reading recaps.

When I read the news I was hoping that it would be a webtoon or drama special. I don't know if Yunho can carry the lead role for 16 episodes though he was quite serviceable in Records of the Nightwatchman. I'm suffering through 11 episodes of My Secret Romance where the only good thing about it is the lead actor and second lead male's acting so it can't be overemphasized how a good actor can salvage a badly written drama or kill a good one.

LOL i love how both inetz and knetz responses are similar. It's like no one is trying to be mean, but it's the truth...his acting in past dramas have been quite bad. Maybe I'll try to be an optimist this time and have hope in his acting here lol ._.

As much as I like Yunho the entertainer, Yunho the actor is pretty cringey even in supporting roles... how is he going to carry this one as the lead?? =/

I know acting isn't Yunho's forte, but I might check it out for him since I haven't seen him in anything for two years. All depends on if I'm busy with other shows or not at that time. I don't mind KSJ since her character at least got an arc in WFKBJ.

As a huge fan of Yunho, I just wish I could plead to him that this is not the comeback I wanted. ??

I'd much rather watch him perform onstage! Though I understand that acting might be his passion. Sad.

Anywayyy, I find knetz' reaction to his acting comeback strangely cute. They're against his being in a drama, but are kind in criticizing him. Lol.

"I… have a lot of feelings about this news, and a lot of them aren’t good feelings" --- sameee

and I see what you did there with the later paragraph, "but you know, Yunho". i am lol-ing at this.

"he has been for years the standard by which I measure the rock-bottom of foot-acting"
that hard comment towards Yunho. I liked him in the drama I Order You and I didnt think it was foot acting tho?? :(
