The plot sounds interesting but personally I am not a big fan of KES. I liked goblin, mainly the humor and bromance but I did have trouble with the flow of the story and other than Goblin I have never seen another project from her. To each their own. Now in terms of the main actor I think he will be the major reason why I will have to pass on this one. I have only watched him in "The good the bad and the weird", and"Masquerade" and yeah it is undeniable that he is an excellent actor. I admire that he was able to break into Hollywood that he has represented Korean talent in America but I am not a big fan of him as a person. I read about his reputation, but what left a really bad taste was what he did to Lee Ming Jung especially that he did that when she was pregnant. She forgave him, that's on her she had her reasons. Ever since then I just try to avoid him.

Kim Eun sook has her moments, so I can't help but have expectations for her upcoming drama. Lee Byung Hun is such a charismatic actor. I could already see him in his role. He does well in melo and romantic dramas. Now I wonder who will be cast as the female lead, I hope it's not someone too young. Lee byung hun is over 45 years.

I'm so new I don't know anything about anything on this feed, but wildly entertained by all the downvotes people are getting for having an opinion?. I think this comment might get me my first downvotes. ??

I am not giving downvotes. And i dont care if he is acting in 2 hours long movie but 16 hours of romance with his dirty mind. Pass. Now i just hope my fav actresses wont cast in.

Honestly don't understand why Kim Eun-sook's dramas are always so popular. Yeah Secret Garden and Descendants of the Sun were pretty good, but there are other dramas that are better than them in my opinion but aren't popular (like Chicago Typewriter). Also, while Goblin started out good, I was really disappointed with the ending.

Meh, I think I only watched Goblin for Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook's epic bromance and the mythos so Imma sit this one out...DOTS was super boring for me, I seriously couldn't get through it even with my Song Joong Ki AND Song Hye Kyo bias.

Also, it low key annoys me that she only ever uses megastars and doesn't use her massive popularity to bring an underrated star out of the woodwork. It seems like the big names are her crutch. Like I get it, there's pressure and money at stake, but there definitely are writers and directors that create careers for lesser known stars and vice versa. I guess it's just my ideal of what art should be like, but she just seems super elitist and kind of shallow, cause to me she's basically using the actor's brand.

I was so looking forward to this drama. Severely and sorely disappointed in the choice of male lead. I may be biased and influenced by news reports about LBH but I personally also cannot warm up to him even if i hadn't known about his scandals. He comes across as cold and arrogant to me after seeing him at awards shows and interviews. I get the feeling he feels superior to the other actors simply because he's made a name for himself in Hollywood.

This is a sad lonely voice calling out for someone to cast my Oppa, Park Hae jin as Mr Sunshine...hello, anyone out there listening? Hello? Hello?

Well I like Lee Byun Hyun as an actor. But never imagine him would be KES leading male but it make sense now. well good luck for that i might just watch 1-2 episode.

Yessss, I love him as an actor. He's one of those actors that acts with eyes too, amazing to watch. Can't wait :-)

Well, damn. I was gone for a day and this is the first thing I read on DB.

*grabs a bucket of popcorn*

I haven't seen him act in any drama or movie and I can only glean from the earlier comments about his scandal, so I can't pass judgment. I am, however, left with a Chicago Typewriter-sized hole in my heart as well, so right now I'm leaning towards giving it a shot. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

Well,this is interesting news.I would like to see how the Korean public will react to LBH and will Kim Eun Sook be able to reap high ratings as before...
I don't either like LBH and KES and her shallow dramas but everybody seems to like them :-)))

my reaction after reading news about him for this drama:
lol ok bye
i know it makes sense to cast him, but still, no.

No no no no no no............Let me think about it for a moment??. Yeah it's a Definite NO.

I've been a KES fan since Lovers in Paris. I am probably one of the few people who will admit to liking Heirs. Call me a romantic but I love her leading men because they're all Darcy-like characters with great integrity who will do anything for the woman they love. LBH is the complete antithesis of this. There have been reports of him being contemptuous of women and treating them like playthings for years. A great actor no doubt but I am disappointed in her choice.

And then after all these actor-with-proficient-in-English debats here and there, Lee Byung-hoon ends up acting alongside an English speaking actor with cringy acting. And we still end up cringed because of their hugh gap in acting talent.

oh no.... what happen to the tagline "In Kim Eun Sook I trust" lets just re watch goblin again than thinking the new drama is coming.... its not going to happen....
