Wasn't the Neighbourhood Lawyer show a big hit (or am I showing my ignorance of Korean drama ratings again!)

Yes please. I need a good addictive sleep-depriving soul-engrossing rom com! Feels like ages since I watched one live airing.

Haven't watched these 2 in a drama yet but have only heard good thing. Hopefully this will work out and be awesome!

Yes to Kang So-ra! Especially because this writer/PD team seem to do female characters well.

I mean, I like Siwon too, but I really need Kang So-ra to do something that removes her Warm and Cozy taint in my memory. She was actually good in that (though this character seems similar?) but the drama itself was all over the place and had made me question my Hong sisters love.

Great PD, good writer and awesome two main leads casting (if confirmed). Looking forward to this drama.
Btw curious as to who is offered the third lead.

Both the writer and PD of Oh Hae Young Again are working on new projects, so I keep mixing them up with one another...

But WOW, this is an attractive pair. I smell a second lead in the copper spoon character though. And yeah, the character descriptions are a little uninspired... but maybe it'll work out? I'm kinda wary of the PD after Introverted Boss tbh, even if OHYA was one of my faves.

Yeah, Choi Siwon is back.
Hopefully, he will accept this offer.
I am still not over his character in She Was Pretty.
Hoping for a good cast and good chemistry.
Aja Aja ^_^

Oh man, I love the idea of this pair so very, very much. Siwon is always gold and Kang Sora has been so misused since Misaeng that I'd love for her to really have a decent role.

Very familiar set-up but I hope the story somehow gives a fresh take or deliver with sincerity. I like these two and I miss them in kdramaland.

My two SLS being the lead couple ? YES !
Kang So Ra is going to film a movie but I don't know when. I hope there's no schedule conflict so she can accept this role. She made me like her character in Warm and Cozy so I believe she will bring something more to it.

i can get into this... i like the pairing, i can see them working together quite well. i'm so glad that Siwon's role in She Was Pretty had such a long-lasting effect, that it hardly seems like he's been gone for almost 2 years...

oh wait, maybe it was because i saw him at Kcon LA in 2015... he's more handsome in real life!
; )

So my friend told me about this, and I straight away log in into DB no matter how busy I am. My GOD!! It's Siwon!!!!!! Thank you God, thank you. I've missed him so much ever since he enlisted, but now I can't wait for him to come back!! I'm so excited! He's my no 2 oppa that I'd a crush on (when I first into kpop wold) after Jaejoong. Crush for 10 years and I still am in love with him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My fav writer! Siwon (and his abs) will be back! I almost forgot who is Kang So Ra because it has been ages I've heard about her lol.

I wasn't that interested in the story since the last post about this drama, BUT if the leads are
- SiWon , wow can't believe it's almost been two years since She Was Pretty, he was awesome , playful and so funny in it
- and Kang So Ra I loved her in Misaeng, she can play "candy" on another level w/o us fearing a blank character
then I'm in for sure :) !

I'm on board with this. I adore Kang So Ra and have full confidence that the writer would give her character reliability and complexity. I hope Siwon would get to be quirky since I think that's what he does best. Fingers crossed that they both accept.

So Siwon will possibly romance his ex-sister-in-law?? haha..

Finally, a leading role for Siwon <3 (if Oh, My Lady doesn't count)

Nice pairing!

This pairing can totally work. Looking forward to it!

This would be a good duo. Fingers crossed.

Great news, javabeans! I loved Siwon's performances in HYANGDAN and SHE WAS PRETTY. Keeping my fingers crossed that his comeback from the service is a blast and a half. ;-)

Omg this is the best news ever! I've pretty much loved Siwon in every single role he has played be it a spoilt foot actor in King of Dramas or the goofy buddy in She was Pretty. Although the latter did rip a whole in my Heart and left me crippled with second lead syndrome! ? He has a way of infusing his characters with his own brand of charm and makes even 2-D characters interesting. This would totally be an awesome comeback project for him and I hope he decides to take it.

OMG finally something I will look forward to! Siwon is hilarious in She Was Pretty and he sure as heck will be hilarious too to play another undercover chaebol. Kang Sora is <3!

Best casting news yet! Si won was hilarious in she was pretty and king of drama. I have always had a soft spot for Kang Sora, she was super in Miseng. Hopefully they say yes!:)

I just want Kang So Ra to be in something as good as she is, OK.
I did love Ugly Alert and Misaeng but I can't live off just that forever, OK?! OK!

Lol, I like actor! Siwon too.

I think they will cast younger actor like PBG, but this casts is really good, can't waittt XD

bhahaha Kang Sora's body is nice too, and her BF is one of the hottest namja LOL she's so lucky XD

In all those heart-breaking news about various actors enlisting (Ji Chang-wook, don't go!) I completely forgot that there are also few guys that are returning to us (I'm looking at you Lee Seung-gi. Can't wait!) This pairing sounds awesome. I love both Siwon and Kang So-ra, so fingers crossed it'll happen!

Oh, I think both of these actors have potential and I hope they sign up to this. I agree that his character was the best thing in "SWP" even though I like PSJ. As for the female lead, I've only seen her in that drama opposite YYS, and that drama didn't do either of them justice, but she has potential.

However I don't understand why the chaebol (refreshing that he will be the hero in this and not the second male lead), has to be hidden though? I also really hope that this drama won't have the annoying trope of controlling parents (specifically for the hero). I really hope that they will take a fresh approach with this drama, and since it has older leads (if they sign up), that it will be steamier too.

I look forward to check this out, and hopefully it won't disappoint

Siwon! Oh how I've missed you. How did 2 years pass by so fast? I remember SWP was not so long ago?? Looking forward to him being lead in a drama and hopefully a good bromance along with that.

Oh boy,i hope both of them will agree as i adore both of them!!!

While the plot has all the clishe plots(i bet there are more included) with one that i started to kinda hate aka the dirt poor famous Candy that smiles 24/7 it does matter more how it's delivered and while may focus in the PD i'm more as main the writer so hope we'll get a breey light heartwarming story and having this two as main it will be a major Thumbs UP(Dabong!)...Also i miss Siwon badly!!!

Has started prayers to the drama gods to make this happen.

I hope this can be another hit for Kang Sora, she's one of my favs and its been saddening to not see her in the spotlight for so long. The Hong Sister drama is one that shall not be named lol I can see this being a typical kdrama but Siwon isn't bad and you know you can always rely on Kang Sora's acting chops.

This couple should be a hit, hope the writing is worthy.

Is too much to ask for Yoon Shi Yoon to be included as well since there will be 3 leads? My Da Bong!

Luff these actors. But...Siwon is done already?!!!! First, where did the time go? Second, ?YAY?!!!

Luff the team.

And even luff the tropes. I could happily watch candy dramas every day of the week. And moving the plot using tropes and insanely wacky coincidences is okey-dokey with me. Noble idiocy?...throw some in if it makes sense from the perspective of the character's values. Even an inconsistency or nine is ok.

Just don't move the plot or build conflict by having the characters make nonsensical choices. *? Seven Day Queen ep.16*. That's the only thing that truly drives me batty.

YAY! I love both of them!!!

Siwon is so hilarious. I was just so blown away by his performance in She Was Pretty I think he stole the show. I will watch any sort of romcom he does at this point, I have that much confidence in him.
