Same - I like him but his dramas? Not so much. I hope this turns out well though. Forgeries make the premise sound interesting and different.

Yoo Seung-ho seems to be doing a lot melodrama that I just want to see him in a normal romcom where he just act as a puppy who has a crush with a noona. I liked his acting in Ruler despite of the mess, so if he accepts this drama, I hope he will be paired with a good actress. I do remember I watched (and maybe enjoyed) some of this PD drama, but like you said he is hardcore melo dude. lol. If YSH can improve from his acting in Ruler, it will be good!

Best introductory paragraph, ever!

I was so excited to read about this new project, then disappointment slowly starts to seep in with descriptors like "genius", "abuse", "drug trafficking" and priest by day and forger by night (wait, what?) Why can't a drama titled I Am Love be a charming little rom-com? I just want Yoo Seung-ho not to shed so many sorrowful tears again despite how insanely pretty he is when doing so!

I kind of don't want him to take it because I really want YSH's characters to be happy, I swear if I have to watch him shed tears one more time..

Any chance that's it's going to be a bit funny and a little bit extra? Like how Lookout had a serious plot but it wasn't absolutely heavy?

The plot sounds like it was a drama from the mid 2000s where everything is a tragedy.

I like YSH but I guess, I also need to know who would be his partner because this kind of drama need to have a give and take.

You have to admit, you don't often see the words "drug trafficking", "priest" and "forger" in the description for the main lead.

This could be very interesting.

The character description sounds so fresh, I think I could look forward to it.

That was the best description of what it's like to be a fan of Yoo Seungho. You love him. You want to watch everything he's in...but sometimes it is easier said than done lol (Reminds me of how I sat through Daebak just for Yeo Jingoo. Oh the torture!) What wouldn't we go through for our favs?

I enjoyed melodrama as much as I love romantic comedy shows. This should be suited to Yoo Seung Ho since he had some experiences carrying tragic role like he did in I Miss You, even a child role like Sad Love Story.

It’s great to hear, in that I love Yoo Seung-ho and was just about to say that I’d watch anything he’s in, except that’s a lie because I realize that while I have started everything he’s in, I’ve quit a bunch of them. Maybe the more accurate statement would be that I love Yoo Seung-ho so much that I have sat through a lot of bad dramas in order to see him (before then being forced to stop because of the badness). Somehow I mean this as a compliment!

This summarize what I feel as his fan girl!
I hope he choose another project, like romcom or thriller would be cool too, but please not another melo ?

Woa,that is one hella description!!!Melo,hard melo but i'd watch it if he will be the lead...I really have a huge weakness when Yoo Seung Ho is mentioned

Whatever he decides to do, please no melodramas and no crying scenes. Jebal! Please God. Amen.

Pre-army Yoo Seung ho could do no wrong in my eyes, I loved everything he did, everything he starred in. But his post-army dramas have slowly and surely eroded my love for his acting, and it's all due to his excessive crying scenes and the terrible plots for the dramas he chose to star in.

It's ironic that Remember made me fall completely in love with Namgoong min, where I only liked him before; but made me grow a little tired of YSH; and I couldn't even finish Ruler - Master of the Mask. He's a good example of why drama choices are so important.

i want him back but not in a tragic melo again...he has such an amazing and expressive actor but bad scripts choises let him down
he can be as big as woo bin or bo gum just choose rom com or action/thriller

Why. Why?! A good writer, director please. Please.

A priest during the day and a forger during the night? Sounds like Umberto Eco's Prague Cemetery.
Wish him good luck since his last project was on MBC too and it was terrible.

They're now planning dramas for NEXT year. I swear it was only February yesterday D:

Anyway I can't really bite into any of his previous dramas so I hope this one's a lot better.

Ehh.. dude doesn't know how to choose a drama. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of melos. I mean I like SJK but I can't even bear to finish Innocent man for him. :(

Well the title is apt at least. Yoo Seung Ho is love <3

Silver linings: this will be set (hopefully a good part) in Jeju! And priest-forger does sound colourful and potentially interesting.

I skipped Ruler so have no idea how much he cried, but if I want to see him smile I watch Imaginary Cat. And imagine I'm Bok Gil.

MBC = makjang. It's been a while since I watch a masterpiece from them.

Just had to comment re drama's synopsis: Why do writers make it seem so easy to un-adopt a child? It would take a lot for the adoptive parents to be allowed to rescind the adoption. Once you're adopted in the USA, you're granted citizenship after 2 yrs. So, for him to be un-adopted twice, the time span couldn't be more than 4 yrs. Assuming he went to the States as a child, he'd still be a child when arrested. No way would he be deported that young back to a place with no relatives. Just my thought...am I wrong to think that?

i really love him but he really picks bad projects and thank god for Ruler's rating success. I hope he wont be paired with young girls again becoz they really arent at liberty to romance which isnt helping him. Hoping for good actress, maybe Park Shin Hye. They said they want to star in drama together. Hope that wish comes true soon when they are all single and young.

I guess I love Yoo Seung-ho a bit more than you then Javabeans because I've practically watched him in anything and everything despite bad scripts.

Also, I enjoy melodrama waaay more than I'm ready to admit. Something about bringing heartbreak and then healing that heartbreak makes me really happy - no matter how sadistic that sounds.

The character description is actually quite unique and interesting so I'm excited if he signs on. Also, I want Park Bo-young. Now that would be adorable beyond words. I want her to do Melo and they can still make me cry like a baby.

Wow another after ruler I loved his chemistry in ruler I like him for his wowing or should I say his really good actor . is nice he has a drama like this I would to see him in a drama or romcom where he won't cry a lot his cries make me wow sad yeah they are heart thriving

I would like it very much if he is paired with Kim so hyun again they had a really good chemistry
They cared for each other even in the bts they were always jolly together so I think for this drama if they are together it will be really nice to see them again in another drama it would be really cool .
Congratulations YSH ruler was a hit to me . I loved it hope to see more of your works in future

javabeans has nailed my general feelings for YSH's dramas. Love him. His dramas? No, not really. I do hope he picks projects I can finish. Haha! *it's all about me*

I agree, I like YSH but all his new projects were just bad, I haven’t watched any. That being said, this vague synopsis sounds interesting because the male lead’s description is not your typical kdrama hero. However I hope they remove the childhood adoption which sounds ridiculous. I hope this time YSH can be edgy. Also I don’t see why he would be a priest, that part is weird. I’m thinking maybe he will be a fake priest (a disguise for his forgery?).

Anyways it is still too early to judge the story, since we don’t even have a description of the heroine yet. This could, if done right, actually be interesting and fresh for a kdrama. It will all depend on the writer, if the writer is bad than this drama will be doomed to be silly makjang. However if the writer is good, this could be an intense, nuanced, and even a heartfelt romance/drama, maybe with a redemption arc for the male lead.

I hope it will be a great project for him. His last drama left a bitter taste in my mouth so I can relate wholeheartedly.
I would like to see him in a drama that I would want to watch from start to finish too.
How does a show with the title I Am Love not be a romcom? Melos are just not my thing right now. If it is good, I will check it out. Maybe.

Wow... The character description is just wow. Like everything bad possible already happened to this guy...

I never thought I'd get to see him on screen again so soon ?
Crossing my fingers for this to be a romcom but I'm pretty sure I'll watch it as long as he's in it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmm, I think I'll pass. :(

That woman better be a cat! Ok drama makers, we know he's a good drama actor but for the love of dramas, there are more genres where he can shine in than melo. Bohoo

WOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! ???

Show please be good please be good. I love Yoo Seungho please let me finish his drama this time :"

Does YSH's character sound like a less evil version of Shin Sung Ruk's character in Liar Game?

We don't know the writer yet, so maybe there's some hope there....

But, can MBC commit to this drama, though ? I thought they stopped filming dramas as well because of the strike.

i feel like his dramas are so angsty but never in the good way

I agree with you but I really love Yoo Seung Ho so. And he's an artist here, well I love people with such talents. This drama resembles Forger, an American film starring Josh Hutcherson who also plays a genius painter & forges famous works of art & I really loved it. So yeah, I'll look forward to it.

I think I'll always call Yoo Seung-ho that "19 yr old" because I can't believe he's younger than me when I discovered him at the time! (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
